About this tour
Set out from Ketchikan for a wilderness cruise through the waterways and forested shores of Southeast Alaska. This Ketchikan wilderness boat cruise pairs dramatic coastal scenery with a hearty Dungeness crab feast at a remote lodge.
Meet near the cruise ship docks and travel by air-conditioned van to the cruise departure point. As you glide through Tongass National Forest and George Inlet, your crew shares stories and local history. Look for landmarks including a former cannery and glacier-carved basins, and volunteer to help haul crab pots from the waters around Revillagigedo Island.
The cruise brings you to George Inlet Lodge, where hosts serve a Dungeness crab lunch with Romaine salad and homemade dressing, followed by cheesecake with blueberry topping. They’ll show you how to crack your crab, and your meal includes one glass of wine or beer. Round-trip transportation returns you to the Ketchikan meeting point.
Choose this Ketchikan wilderness boat cruise for a memorable mix of local stories, hands-on activity, and Alaskan flavors. Meet your guide at “The Rock” statue and get ready to explore the coast from the water.

How this score is calculated
This score is based on one provider. GetYourGuide rates it 4.38 from 8 reviews. We place that rating among all GetYourGuide 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 6.7.
