This was one of my... - This was one of my favorite excursions. It was so interactive! The cast went above and beyond to include my Mom, who was recently diagnosed with ALS and in a wheelchair. We saw so many animals, got to hold so many! It was amazing!

Can’t Miss Ketchikan Adventure! - This was an amazing excursion and absolutely worth the price we paid! We have watched Deadliest Catch for years and the Captain and crew balanced education with fun and a personal touch sharing their experiences! I would highly recommend this when in Ketchikan!

Crazy Ivan - By far the highlight of our Alaska adventure! These 3 guys and the stories they told were just fascinating and made me feel like I want to be their friend! 😊. The girls were great as well and it was a surprise that we could hold the crabs, starfish etc. I have to watch “The Hunt for Red October “ now so I can see for myself when a whale pulls a ‘Crazy Ivan’ 🤣. Thank you to all. Well worth the cost of the trip! 🙌🙌

Make sure to double check... - Make sure to double check your transportation instructions from cruise ship to the excursion. Other than a hiccup with that, this was a wonderful experience, firsthand knowledge from people who worked and lived the life they were describing
