Reflecting on a Stellar Season

Adventure Ketchikan Tours: A Stellar Season and a Bright Future Ahead

As the 2025 Alaska cruise season draws to a close, Adventure Ketchikan Tours is celebrating one of its most successful years yet. With record guest numbers, glowing feedback, and the debut of our newest experience — Tales & Tides: Alaskan Lore & Wildlife Cruise — this has been a season defined by creativity, collaboration, and connection.


Tales & Tides: Where Storytelling Meets the Sea

Launched this summer, Tales & Tides quickly became a standout among Ketchikan shore excursions. This immersive Alaska wildlife cruise combines breathtaking scenery, local legends, and a deep appreciation for the spirit of the Last Frontier. Guests are invited aboard our comfortable 40-passenger vessel for a journey through Ketchikan’s Tongass Narrows — where eagles soar, seals sunbathe, and whales make spectacular appearances.

Our guides, trained in both storytelling and natural history, share Alaska’s folklore alongside real-life adventure tales, creating an experience that’s equal parts education and entertainment. Reviews poured in calling it “authentic,” “magical,” and “a highlight of our cruise.”

Within weeks, Tales & Tides earned recognition from visiting cruise lines and became one of the most requested Ketchikan Alaska tours of the season.


Excellence Behind the Scenes

Every successful tour begins with a dedicated team. Our captains, deckhands, dock representatives, and expeditors worked tirelessly this season to deliver seamless operations, safe voyages, and warm Alaskan hospitality.

From fine-tuning schedules and managing guest logistics to training programs for new guides and captains, Adventure Ketchikan Tours continues to raise the bar for quality and consistency across all our excursions.


Looking Ahead: New Adventures in 2026

As we look forward to the 2026 season, Adventure Ketchikan Tours is already planning exciting updates and expanded offerings. Guests can expect refinements to our existing tours, new partnerships, and enhanced storytelling experiences that bring Alaska’s natural and cultural heritage even closer to the heart.

Our commitment remains the same — to offer tours that are authentic, sustainable, and unforgettable. Every experience we design is meant to capture the awe of Southeast Alaska and share it with guests from around the world.


A Heartfelt Thank You

To our partners, crew, and every guest who joined us this year — thank you. Your support, enthusiasm, and trust are what make this work so meaningful.

We can’t wait to welcome you back next season for another year of Alaskan adventure, wildlife encounters, and stories from the tides.

Until then — here’s to calm seas, full boats, and the wild beauty of Ketchikan, Alaska.
