Fish Ketchikan’s seasonal salmon waters with year-round local captains, using provided tackle, bait, rods, and reels.

About this tour

Spend four hours fishing the waters around Ketchikan with captains who know Southeast Alaska through every season. These experienced commercial and sport fishermen live in the region year-round and bring deep knowledge of local waters and the fish that inhabit them.

Your captain follows seasonal fish movements to find productive spots, while rods, reels, bait, and tackle are provided. Soft drinks and snacks are also on hand, and flexible start times make it easier to fit the trip into your day. The fishing license, king salmon stamps, gratuities, and any fish processing or shipping are not included.

The meeting point is within walking distance of the cruise ship docks for most guests. Norwegian cruise ship passengers need to take a cab to City Float Harbor in downtown Ketchikan. Join a Ketchikan salmon fishing trip for a hands-on day on the water with local insight and gear ready to go.

How this score is calculated

This score is based on one provider. Viator rates it 5.00 from 3 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 7.3.
