Went on a snorkeling tour Summer of 2019, during a cruise stop in Ketchikan. Was booked online. Picked up at the main dock and then we traveled to the dive center. Got all suited up and off to the dive location. Aaron was one of the tour guides (main one I believe) and there were a few others. In the middle of the summer, with wet suits, the water is great. Not warm, but very nice and not really cold at all.nDuring the tour we were taken around the area, information and items of interests were shared. While being guided with the group I was still able to swim around by myself to explore.nIt was a great experience. I was with my family so it was fun swimming with my girls and checking out all that was going on.nThe guides are great and really aware of the surroundings and their patrons. There was one individual that was hesitant about open water swimming, one guide stayed with them to make sure they were able to have a good experience. Safety was always a concern and they made sure everyone was together.nnIf you like to swim and snorkel, book a tour. It was worth it.
Guides were great and and deserve a better rating but water had 3 ft visibility and kelp forest gone. They should have alternate spots to take you. Shore snorkel was almost in town and crowded With lots of small fishing boats and several big cruise ships passing. If not for great fun guides who made it fun I would ask for a refund. I wanted kelp snorkeling with wild critters and they were missing.
It is not cold. I was anxious as this was my first time snorkeling. It was an amazing time and the staff were very helpful and funny. It was the most amazing excursion we had on our cruise. I would recommend this to anyone.
Yes, you can snorkel in Alaska. Yes, there is visibility and you can see wildlife. Yes, it was chilly, but you have a full body wet suit to help keep you warm. Yes, you may be a little uncomfortable temperature wise during the swim. However, this experience is truly once in a lifetime. Many travelers have stories of seeing beautiful tropical fish in the reefs and warm waters of the world when they snorkel, but how many can tell you what it’s like snorkeling next to a kelp forest and seeing giant sun stars, sea cucumbers, salmon and other cold water sea life?
The staff were incredibly upbeat, helpful, and knowledgeable! I felt totally safe the whole time (because of them- I was nervous before heading out but up for a new challenge!)nThis tour is such a unique opportunity to see the vibrant underwater world of SE Alaska and I am so glad that I checked this off of my bucket list. The highlight for me was the whale sighting and gigantic starfish! This is something to try out for sure and we highly recommend this company. We’re very grateful to owner Fred, and his incredible team!
