Q: What should I wear to ensure comfort during the whale watching tour?

Wear waterproof, windproof layers and non-slip shoes. Even in summer, ocean breezes can be very chilly and damp.

Q: How likely am I to see whales during a Ketchikan tour?

Sightings are frequent, but nature is unpredictable. We track seasonal migrations to maximize your chances of seeing Humpbacks.

Q: Is there motion sickness medication recommended for the boat trip?

Yes, if you are prone to seasickness, take medication 30-60 minutes before boarding, as Alaskan waters can be choppy.

Q: Are there restroom facilities available on the tour boat?

Yes, our vessels are equipped with onboard restrooms for your convenience during the excursion.

Q: What happens if the weather is too rough for the tour to depart?

Safety is our priority. In case of unsafe conditions, we will contact you to reschedule or provide a full refund.

Q: Can I bring my own professional camera gear on the tour?

Absolutely! We encourage it. Just ensure you have plenty of battery life and waterproof casing for the ocean spray.
