Ketchikan
Feel the adrenaline rush of riding in an actual hovercraft! This75-minute trip takes you from the bustling dock to a secluded beach and on to hidden coves teeming with wildlife and spectacular Alaskan scenery. Take your seat among a small group of 12 fellow thrill seekers, inside the covered and enclosed cabin of your unique watercraft, which has minimal impact on this pristine wilderness. Your heart will start pounding as you take off and start flying across deep-blue waters, speeding along craggy coastlines, lush with tall evergreens. The vessel will then gently drift onto a black-sand beach, and you'll have the chance to hop out and breathe in the fresh air. Enjoy the serenity that can only be found in this part of the world. Then, get ready for more action as you lift off dry land and glide across the water in search of more wildlife. Breaching whales, splashing harbor seals, and soaring bald eagles are often seen during the trip, so be sure to bring your camera.
