Super Salmon trip with Captain Star and Captain Anthony
This fishing trip was amazing. Star and Anthony were fabulous. Got us out and spot on catching Salmon!! They were fun and personable but professional in helping make our trip a success! We hope to fly in and book with again in the future. You have to go do this! And just a week later we were enjoying our Smoked Salmon here in Texas!!

Alaska Affordabl Adventures have the most knowledgeable captains in Ketchikan, Alaska!
Alaska Affordable Adventures provided our party of four with the best fishing experience we have ever taken. We booked the six hour salmon fishing charter. We were blessed to have Captain Anthony and Captain Star. Both captains have a plethora of knowledge. Captain Anthony put us at the right spots. We were able to pull in over 25 beautiful Coho and Pinks. When our time was up, we had to get back to our cruise ship. Anthony and Star took care of delivering our beautiful haul to the processor. The fish were processed and shipped overnight to our home in Texas. I truly recommend Alaska Affordable Adventures. You will not be disappointed.

The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
6 Hour Salmon Trip: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Ketchikan.
How much does 6 Hour Salmon Trip cost?
+
Prices start at $1,700 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Ketchikan usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does 6 Hour Salmon Trip take?
+
Plan for about 6 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Ketchikan is not rushed.
Is 6 Hour Salmon Trip worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 40 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 2 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Ketchikan, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule 6 Hour Salmon Trip?
+
No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.
Is 6 Hour Salmon Trip suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 6-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book 6 Hour Salmon Trip?
+
Around 1 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Ketchikan can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Ketchikan and add a light layer if any part of the 6-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does 6 Hour Salmon Trip start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Ketchikan within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Ketchikan?
+
Ketchikan runs short, cruise-timed excursions: Misty Fjords floatplane flights, Tongass rainforest zip lines, totem park tours, crab feasts and wildlife boats up the Behm Canal. On Outty we rank every Ketchikan experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Off the Beaten Path Ketchikan Photo Safari - 3 hr., Ketchikan Kayak Eco-Tour, 3-Hour Rainforest, Beach & Wildlife Walk. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Ketchikan?
+
May to September, matching the Alaska cruise season. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Ketchikan?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in 6 Hour Salmon Trip?
+
Included: NO HIDDEN FEES- we pay the 8% City Sales Tax and the 3.9% processing fee; Flexible Start Times; Soft Drinks and Snacks; and All Fishing Tackle, Bait, Rods, and Reels. Not included: Gratuities; Fishing License; King Salmon Stamp(s); and Fish Processing/Shipping. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Does 6 Hour Salmon Trip include hotel pickup?
+
Yes, pickup is offered, or you can meet at the start point instead from 3 listed pickup locations in and around Ketchikan.
What languages is 6 Hour Salmon Trip offered in?
+
It runs in English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for 6 Hour Salmon Trip?
+
Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.
What happens to 6 Hour Salmon Trip if the weather is bad?
+
This experience depends on good weather. If it is canceled because of poor weather, you are offered a different date or a full refund.
