Ketchikan Salmon Fishing Excursion + Wildlife Viewing Tour
Enhance your Alaskan adventure by combining world-class salmon fishing with the chance to observe Southeast Alaska’s diverse wildlife. Before or after your private salmon fishing charter, take in the natural beauty surrounding Ketchikan. Keep an eye out for humpback whales, orcas, bald eagles, harbor seals, and sea lions. You might even spot a black bear foraging along the shoreline or a Sitka black-tailed deer navigating the intertidal zones. These rich waters and scenic coastlines offer more than just exceptional fishing—they provide a window into Alaska’s vibrant ecosystem.
Our boats are conveniently located downtown, within walking distance of the cruise ship berths. We will meet you at your cruise ship exit ramp holding a sign with your name. For guests already in town, we’ll arrange a meeting point near the downtown harbor.
