Combination Trip Special. Make the most of your time in port with an a Orcas Cove Kayaking/Misty Fjords Flightseeing Tour: the best of Ketchikan in just 5 hours! The Trip Orca’s Cove is our most popular trip and was designed for the growing number of people looking for a true wilderness experience. We depart our waterfront location and travel by boat to remote Orca’s Cove. Here you will meet your guides and become familiar with kayaking. After a basic lesson we take off paddling, wandering amongst numerous islands, immersing ourselves in the surroundings and keeping a lookout for wildlife. After paddling, we enjoy a snack of the finest locally caught and smoked silver salmon and hot drinks before returning to town by boat. Our van drops guests travelling by cruise ship back at the cruise ship dock. For a more personal experience, our group size is limited to six guests per trip (or private groups of up to 12) and this trip is not sold on board cruise ships. Trips fill very quickly because we take such small groups, please book early to avoid disappointment. It is easy to Check Availability & Book Online. Orcas Cove Scenery & Wildlife Orcas Cove is a serene wilderness location, far from the bustle of town and the busy cruise ship docks. The old growth forest presses right down to the shoreline and the intertidal zone of over 20 feet is home to a colorful array of creatures. Several Bald Eagle nests are active in the area and we often have the opportunity to observe these remarkable birds in their homes. By it's very nature, we never know what wildlife we will see on any particular day - that's part of the excitment. Humpback Whales, Orcas, porpoises, seals and sealions all inhabit these waters. Along the shore we may see river otters, mink, deer and even occasionally, black bears. Take our Orcas Cove/Misty Fjords Flightseeing Combination Trip to make the most of your time in town and see the very best of Ketchikan and Misty Fjords. Friendly Guides & Relaxed Pace Our guides are trained naturalists and will enthusiastically share their love of the land with you. Guides carry binoculars to share with the group. We travel at a relaxed pace: the goal is to enjoy the wilderness and explore the shoreline, not to set any speed records. There are many opportunities for photographing the exceptional scenery and wildlife. What to Bring & Wear Dry bags are provided to protect your camera or video recorder. We ask that you dress in warm, comfortable layers. Paddling jackets and rain pants are provided. We use sprayskirts on the kayaks to help keep you dry. Sneakers are ideal for foot wear rather than large hiking boots which tend to be too bulky for the kayaks. Please do not wear high heels which can be dangerous on the docks.
