You're the Captain Now! Hop aboard our military grade inflatable fast boats for a guided excursion on the Pacific Ocean in Alaska’s Inside Passage! Take turns at the tiller driving or hang on and enjoy the ride. There are many tours here that allow you to just ride along, this isn’t one of them. Small groups of up to 3 inflatable fast boats follow a guide boat through the jagged coastline islands of Southeast Alaska in search of bald eagles nests, resident seals and sea lions, an immense array of inter tidal creatures and, everyone’s favorite, bubble-net feeding humpback whales! Clover Pass features calmer waters and often better weather than tours running in downtown Ketchikan so we love getting you out of town and away from the crowds. Let's Go!

Guide

Pickup Included

After disembarking your cruise ship (If docked downtown) please proceed to the shelter at Cruise Berth 3. The shelter is on the dock next to the "Visitors Information - Restrooms" building and Sockeye Sam's Store. (NOTE: this is not the berth 2 Visitors Center). The walk is approximately 2-6 minutes depending on which pier you are docked. The address is 420 Water Street. Your driver will be present 15 minutes before all departures holding a RED SIGN that says "Alaska Marine Fast Boat Adventure". FOR CRUISE SHIP PASSENGERS ARRIVING AT THE MILL AT WARD COVE: After disembarking your cruise ship, please proceed to the brick building "The Mill at Ward Cove." Proceed through the building to the right. Tour vendors will be greeting guests for excursions in the corner near the restrooms and the large overhead door. Look for your guide with a RED sign that reads "Alaska Marine Fast Boat Adventure". ***IMPORTANT NOTE! The MIll at Ward Cove is halfway between downtown Ketchikan and our marina, this means DEPARTURES FROM WARD COVE WILL BE LEAVING 15 MINUTES AFTER THE SCHEDULED TOUR DEPARTURE TIME and guests returning to Ward Cove will be back about 15 minutes early. For example, if you schedule a tour from 8:00am to noon, your tour will operate from 8:15 to 11:45.am. Please look for us at the scheduled departure time though so that we can ensure everyone is ready to go when our van arrives. If you are docking at Ward Cove but would prefer to meet for a downtown departure or if you would prefer to be dropped off downtown after the excursion this may be possible but you will need to contact us prior to your arrival date to arrange the change. Otherwise all guests docking at Ward Cove will be expected to be picked up at Ward Cove.
