Fantastic Fishing Experience!!
This was the best fishing experience, Talon met us on the dock and we were fortunate that it was just the 3 of us. We hit the fish right away, caught salmon and rockfish and got to know this young man. Really enjoyed our 5 hour trip and they we caught so many. As a matter of fact, we decided to ship some home to Florida to enjoy with the family. Could not have gotten a better Captain, he really knew where to find the fish and we enjoyed the trip so much. It really was the highlight of all our activities we scheduled during our Alaskan cruise!

Awesome adventure
Bo suggested a spot pretty far away but was pretty sure there were be fish and boy did he deliver. We caught our boat maximum plus 2 huge non keepers. Bo was knowledgeable and professional. I consider us lucky for getting him as a captain.

We had a great time
We went out with Bo Chaney. He was great. We wanted to catch Halibut. He set basic expectations for us and he lived up to it. Weather wasnt great but we didnt care. 2 couples on the boat. We limited out plus 2 big ones released. One over 100lb and likely over 150lb. 1 ling cod, just short, also came over the rail. If i ever get the chance to come back, i will absolutely ask for Bo.

Best part of our Alaskan trip
We had a great fishing adventure! Our guide, Brant, was amazing. He got us to a sopt where the halibut were hitting, and when the water got too rough, he got us to another spot that was just as productive! He was attentive to all those on the excursion, and had lots of great information and tips. Highly recommend!!

Great Experience with a Fantastic Captain
Captian Kinani Halvorsen was amazing. She put us on the fish. She was professional and friendly. She ran the boat like she had been doing it her whole life. If I come back to Ketchikan I would definitely book a trip with Baranof Fushing Excursion and I would insist on Captian Kinani Halvorsen as my fishing guide.

Why this scores 77
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Ketchikan Authentic Alaska Fishing Adventure: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Ketchikan.
How much does Ketchikan Authentic Alaska Fishing Adventure cost?
+
Prices start at $432 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 Ketchikan Authentic Alaska Fishing Adventure take?
+
Plan for about 5 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 Ketchikan Authentic Alaska Fishing Adventure worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 77 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 115 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Ketchikan, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Ketchikan Authentic Alaska Fishing Adventure?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Ketchikan Authentic Alaska Fishing Adventure suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Ketchikan Authentic Alaska Fishing Adventure?
+
Around 40 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 5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Ketchikan Authentic Alaska Fishing Adventure 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 Ketchikan Kayak Eco-Tour, Off the Beaten Path Ketchikan Photo Safari - 3 hr., Ketchikan Shore Excursion: Rainforest Canopy Ropes and Zipline Adventure Park. 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.
