As with our other Ketchikan cruise excursions, the Neets Bay Bear Watch and Flightseeing tour begins with pick-up at the cruise docks. At the airbase, you’ll board an Alaska-classic DeHavilland floatplane (equipped with wide windows perfect for sightseeing!) for a glorious flight over Revillagigedo Island and the lush Tongass Rainforest. Keep your cameras on-hand for towering granite domes and tumbling whitewater falls! Following a thrilling water landing, your expert naturalist guide will lead the way on a quarter-mile hike through the ancient Alaskan woods. You’ll pass by the Neets Bay Salmon Hatchery, where each year many thousands of fry begin their journey toward the ocean, before arriving at last at famous Neets Bay Creek. Here, you’ll see firsthand what makes this one of the best tours in Ketchikan Alaska, as you’ll likely have the chance to watch hulking black bears fish for salmon from the crystal-clear waters! Make sure you have plenty of film! Then, once you’ve had your fill of wilderness immersion, you’ll enjoy one more stunning flight back to Ketchikan. With unforgettable aerial views and a high probability of seeing Alaskan wildlife up-close in its natural habitat, it’s safe to say the Neets Bay Bear Watch is one of the best tours in Ketchikan Alaska!
