Wildlife tours in Ketchikan - Bears especially

[hmwende]

Greetings!

We are traveling on the NCL Pearl to Alaska on May 6th. We are planning on doing the Ice Climbing Trek with North Star in Juneau and the White Pass Rail in Skagway. Now, we really want to round out our trip with seeing some wildlife if possibe in Ketchikan. We were condidering the Misty Fjords Seaplane, but after the helicopter with the North Star Trek, we really thought we should see something on the groud. I'm not interested in a whalewatching trip only, I'd really like the opportunity to see bears, eagles, etc. as well.

 

We saw that there is a Zodiac Tour with Ketchikan Outdoors that might provide the opportunity to see bears, whales and eagles, etc. Does anyone know of any other tour companies that do a similar tour? Or even have another idea for wildlife seeing? We were going to take a bear tour, but we will be going May 6 and since learned that it is just too early.

 

Thank you!

This would have very poor sighting stats for any bears.
