Disappointed in this excursion, we had to jam 6 people in a zodiac. That meant 2 people couldn't see what was ahead. We did see eagles and seals, but that was about it. Boat ride was just over an hour. The beer and soda were delicious.

The views were amazing, we saw so much wildlife! We saw orcas, seals, bald eagles, and a black bear. Driving our own zodiac was thrilling! And our tour guide, Brandon, was great! This was the best excursion we’ve had in Alaska!

This Zodiac tour is a must do when visiting Ketchikan! Our guide Emily was fun and had great knowledge about the George Inlet and the wildlife in Ketchikan. This tour is an amazing opportunity to see how beautiful Ketchikan is. The end of the tour includes meat, cheese, and delicious beverages of your choice at the cannery. Overall a great experience!!

One of the best excursions on our cruise. Gorgeous sights, beautiful weather, lots of close up wildlife (they fed eagles, had seals, deer, starfish), great staff, delicious beer, wine, and soda tasting. Drove our own boats which was awesome fun. Thank you for an incredible experience :)

This was our favorite excursion of our whole Alaska cruise! It was so fun driving our own zodiac and going FAST! Our guide “Turkey” was really knowledgeable and lured several bald eagles down so close to us that I thought one would land on our boat! The rain forest was so lush and beautiful. The water was so serene and peaceful, and the snacks and gourmet sodas were great! I can’t say enough good things about this trip! I would do it again and again.

Had an amazing time crusing in our own boat. Got to see many eagles and seals. The inlet is really beautiful and serene. Our tour guide Chris "Turkey" was very knowledgeable about St George Inlet.

"Turkey" (aka Chris) showed both the beautiful, peaceful inlet plus the super exciting driving of the zodiac, watching eagles swooping to grab fish and, best of all, breeching humpbacks and calves! Outstanding tour, thanks, Turkey!

The zodiac adventure was super fun and a great experience! Brandon was our guide and he was nice and chill. My friends and I rode in the boat with him since none of us wanted to drive so we were given an even better tour because he could talk to us during the whole trip without having to use the walkie talkies or waiting until we came to a stop. We stopped at seal rock and saw upwards of 30-40 seals. We even saw a bunch of eagles as well! I would definitely recommend the trip to anyone looking for a chill but still really cool experience. They also offered snacks and beer/wine/cider at the end as well.

This was a great excursion! I would enjoy going again. Our guide, Turkey, made the experience very smooth & enjoyable. After an educational nature walk to the cannery (where the boats are), we geared up and he showed us how to operate the Zodiacs & we headed out. We made several stops to check out a variety of cool sights, including seeing some wildlife. You are very likely to see seals and bald eagles 😃. Driving the Zodiac was fun on its own and you can switch drivers halfway if you like. There are bathrooms at the cannery for you to use before you head out and when you return about an hour later. You'll have the option to use a heavy duty rain jacket and rain pants if you like. They really worked to block the wind. There's a cubby where you can leave your personal belongings if you don't want to bring them on the boat with you. A bonus was the beautiful stroll through the rainforest to get to the cannery from the parking area.

Best view of bald eagle ever! Very nice hosts! Kids loved zooming around on the boats. Seeing the different wildlife was such a memorable experience.
