- Tongass Narrows - The rugged coastlines around Ketchikan are teeming with breathtaking scenery, rich history, and diverse wildlife.
Humpback whales, orcas, porpoises, harbor seals, and sea lions are frequent visitors. Bald eagles, kingfishers, cormorants, and numerous migratory birds dominate the skies. Totem poles, lighthouses, and secluded cabins are scattered across these islands. Bears, deer, mink, and other land animals occasionally appear along the shoreline. Captain Jack is eager to share as much (or as little!) information as desired about this area, its wildlife, its people, and its histories.
Our custom landing craft features a spacious front deck for enjoying the views, but if the weather is unfavorable, you can comfortably watch through the large windows in our enclosed cabin.
Concerned about accessibility? This boat is fully accessible, and users of mobility devices such as wheelchairs are welcome. Captain Jack is also certified as an autism specialist through IBCCES, and our company is certified as Autism Double-Checked. We are delighted to have you on board!
