• 5All shapes and sizes welcome

  My wife (never snorkelled) and I (some) had a go...easy communication, transport, really friendly staff, every shoe, wetsuit, weight belt, prescription masks available. You dont need to be super fit etc, we had someone who also couldn't swim. Saw sealions up close, star fish and sea cucumbers, inc an Educational talks with these. 7mm wet suits, hoods and boots included. Went along the coastline and dived for shells and followed the instructors. Overall a great trip and about 1 hour to 1.15 in the water.

• 5Unique experience

  I was apprehensive, but snorkeling in AK was on my husbands bucket list. I was so pleasantly surprised at how well the wet suits kept me warm. The staff were AMAZING! My husband and I felt safe, educated, and had loads of fun. If I can do this at 54, so can you!!!

• 5Best thing we did in Alaska!

  We had an absolute blast!!! Our guides Frank, Melody and Chris were so kind and went over all instructions very thoroughly. The wet suites kept us plenty warm in the water and we saw tons of marine species. The wet suits are thick but are very buoyant so snorkelling was easy even for people who aren’t strong swimmers. I would 100% recommend this excursion— it’s the best thing we did in Alaska by far!

• 5BEST Alaskan Tour Excursion

  Absolutely the BEST Alaskan tour we have ever taken. From the moment we met Chris, our driver and guide, we knew we were in for something special. Everything was well laid out and made the excursion almost flawless. We saw so much wildlife in the water and above the water as well. We can not recommend this tour highly enough. We'd do it again tomorrow if we could!

• 5Super enjoyable excursion

  Arrived in Ketchikan on a blue skies sunny day which is rare for Ketchikan as they rarely have cloudless days. Anyways this is a really cool excursion to do if you want to do something different. You don’t need to be super experienced as a snorkeler as you’re given floats to help you along. The wetsuits kept us super warm in-fact too warm LOL. Hubby swam off into deeper waters but the guides initially keep us close as they show you various sea creatures. I was tired so gently swam along on my float. Hot chocolate and showers were provided after the swim. Bring a towel and swimsuit but that’s it as all equipment from head to toe is provided. After we got dropped off back in the town and had a good couple hours to explore further which was great as the town was much quieter before our cruise departed.

  Clear communication, on time, great experience! Snorkel Alaska was a unique and fun experience. We saw a variety of ocean life with unique elements vs our Caribbean and Mediterranean snorkeling experiences

About Ketchikan

Ketchikan, in the Alaska Panhandle, is a rainy fishing town of stilted boardwalks and totem poles, set among the forests and fjords of the Inside Passage.

Ketchikan clings to the shore of Revillagigedo Island in Southeast Alaska, squeezed between steep forested hills and the water of the Inside Passage. Houses and boardwalks stand on stilts above Ketchikan Creek, where Creek Street, a lane of old buildings on pilings, once formed the red-light district. The town calls itself the salmon capital of the world, and the creek fills with spawning salmon in late summer.

Top-ranked sights in Ketchikan: Tongass National Forest, Creek Street, Saxman Native Village.
