About this tour
Set out on a private Ketchikan Salmon and Halibut Fishing Adventure with a captain who knows these waters firsthand. With at least a decade of fishing experience in Ketchikan, your captain brings local knowledge to a five-hour outing focused on salmon and halibut.
Fishing gear, bait, safety equipment, bottled water, and snacks are provided, so you can focus on the day on the water. Charters are available for groups of 2–6, with the price per angler decreasing as more guests join. Before your trip, communicate directly with your captain for updates on weather, fishing reports, and port times.
Cruise guests docking at downtown Berths 1–4 meet the guide at the ship’s gangway. From Ward Cove, take the free shuttle to Berth 4, where the guide will be waiting with a sign showing your last name. Keep your phone on for coordination. Book your Ketchikan Salmon and Halibut Fishing Adventure and get ready to cast in Alaska’s fishing waters.

How this score is calculated
This score is based on one provider. Viator rates it 5.00 from 30 reviews. We place that rating among all Viator ratings and weight it by its review count. If the tour is found on another provider later, both ratings are combined.
How the score works and rating distribution in Ketchikan
- Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.
- Listings on different providers are combined in proportion to their review counts.
- Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
- The result is shown from 0 to 10: this tour scores 8.3. Top 21% in Ketchikan means it ranks in the top 21% of tours in Ketchikan by this score.
