Worman Sportfishing is great! Kyle is knowledgeable and worked really hard to make our trip…read moreamazing. It's fishing and you can't control if you catch or not but I'm sure Kyle put us in the best position to catch fish. Also he's a cool guy and that's important considering you're on a boat with him all day. The longer Story: We went out with Kyle for two days 7/31 -8/1/17. We got lucky with phenomenal weather (75 and clear) and great fishing conditions. On a full day charter you can go further out to try spots only other full day charters/commercial boats use. Going further out means you'll be travelling awhile, and we had a good time exchanging stories and chatting. I was one of the assholes who figured "It's Alaska, throw a rock and you hit five fish" but after actually fishing up there, it's still fishing. Sometimes you have bites, but most of the time your'e chasing fish. With a captain like Kyle you get to be in the best position to catch fish. He was knowledgeable about where to go, what to do, and how to do it. Our group ranged from experienced fisherman who've been to Alaska and crappy new guys (me). Kyle was good about giving us the information we needed. We found out how not to hurt or kill each other/ourselves. And also catch fish. Our group enjoyed our trip so much our discussions aren't if we want to go back, but when. Since you might want to know, The first day we got our max for Silver Salmon but had a rougher go with Halibut and Rockfish. The second day was the opposite and we had a rough go with the Salmon but maxed rockfish and Halibut. We flew home with a nice blend of fish.

We've been attempting to do a guys fishing trip every 5 years, but its been 6 years since our last…read moreweek long visit. The charter we usually go with had a break down, so he personally referred us to Kit, the Owner and Operator of Alaskan Dream Sportfishing. Working out of Knudson Cove (about a 24 minute drive from the downtown and the cruise ships), we were met exactly at 6:30am at the marina by his boat. Clean fishing boat that sat the 5 of us comfortably, with a big back deck to run around and fish off of. Also, there's an area to get out of the weather (wind, sun, rain) along with a toilet. We were taken on an hour and a half boat ride to who knows where, and as we approached the fishing grounds, we were greeted by pods of humpback whales and porpoises breaching at the surface. Kit set up the rods for each of us in under 5 minutes, and with in a matter of seconds, we were hooked into a silver and king salmon. Let's just say, he put us right on top of the fish!! Even with about 15+ lost fish, a couple of tangles, and broken rings on the hooks, Kit got our lines back in the water and kept us fishing, or in our case, catching! We hit our limits (30 salmon between the 5 of us) in an hour!! Then we took a short boat ride away and switch rods and set ups, and BOOOM! We were right ontop of the halibut now! We did have to battle a sea lion that gave us hell, but we were still able to land our limits of halibut. Made it back to the marina in the early afternoon, helped clean all of our fish, and then it was time for some cold beers with our Captain. This was THE BEST DAY of fishing we've all ever had! About Kit; Extremely professional! Felt like all of us were old friends, having a great time fishing and raggin' on each other, because thats what guys do. He did not show any signs of anger, frustration, or awkwardness our entire time with him. He continued to keep his composure and was a happy go lucky type of guy. His enthusiasm for fishing is infectious! He's a local family man, born and raised in Ketchikan and has always been on the water. Coming soon... he's in the process of finishing up a guest house for guest lodging. Check out his website for packages, lodging, and other details. He also takes out Cruise Ship Passengers for half day trips. Please contact him or look at his website for details.

The two captains worked together so that both boats had the best ability to catch fish. We were also educated on the local area.

We were a group of 8 aging from 18 to 84....some had never fished before and others had some southern experience.

We docked in Ketchikan via an Alaskan cruise line. We decided to book through TripAdvisor instead…read moreof through our cruise because it was more economical. KKC had a great listing. We really appreciated that additional gear was provided at no charge. For example, they provided waterproof pants and a jacket! We booked the e-bike tour with hike through rainforest (because we love hiking and biking of course but also because we were on a budget and couldn't afford the kayaking). Although we mingled with the individuals who DID do the kayaking and they absolutely loved it. They were provided all their gear at no additional charge. KKC was very specific with their directions on where to meet them. As tourists and first timers on a cruise and first timers in Ketchikan, I was nervous I wouldn't be able to find them. However, Forest and Chris were very friendly and welcomed us as soon as we approached the group. The van ride to the facility was about 20 min. And our driver Chris was wonderful at telling us about the town and pointing unique things about the town (like the floating Safeway). Upon arrival - we met our tour guide Ryan. Even though he told us he had only been there for a few weeks, he was very knowledgeable about the area, about our hike and about the rainforest. He was engaged and really encouraged us to enjoy every aspect of the e-bike ride and to ask him anything and everything about the rainforest. He told us about unique plants and he even helped me be brave enough to try "rainforest spinach"!! There are two waterfalls that you'll pass during your bike ride and he learned how much I loved waterfalls. So on our way back, he made it a point to stop so I could take pictures. Ryan was wonderful to chat with and we had a wonderful time hiking and hiking with Ryan! Perhaps the biggest reason why I am giving a 5 star review is the hospitality and customer service we received! We made a big mistake with our excursion planning and had our next one starting before our e-bike reservation was scheduled to end. Forest was very kind to make multiple calls to help us resolve the issue. And then he and Ryan personally gave us a ride back to town early so we could make it to our next excursion! They made every effort to ensure we had a great time in Ketchikan and WE DID!! We will definitely come back for the kayaking and other excursions! Great company and great time! Oh - After our e-bike and hike, Chandler had prepared a nice appetizer and drink area for us. And we enjoyed so time mingling with others while watching boats sail in and out. Everyone was wonderful! We highly recommend!!!

I traveled alone to…read moreKetchikan and have significant kayak experience so I was very fortunate to be able to use a single. All of their boats, bibs, and pfds are incredible and the tandem kayaks looked like such a fun time! The trip was incredibly enjoyable thanks to our two guides, Koda and Dana. They were clear and concise when providing instructions, and they delivered them in a positive and supportive manner. They were super entertaining and radiated love for nature. Dana met us down at the #3 berth and was very inviting, immediately engaging all of us in conversation, telling us what would happen next. She had such a positive attitude and gave a great tour while driving us to the site for kayaking. It is obvious that she is an incredible asset to a team both on and off the water! On the trip another guide joined us, so both Koda and Dana led us to some beautiful views. They expertly pointed out seals, eagles, and a rare sighting of a baby deer along the shoreline! They taught us exciting facts about the trees, the moss, the tides, and other fascinating topics. The tour was perfectly timed and never felt rushed, even in the end as rain was nearing. Koda and Dana were so on top of predicting how much time it would take us to paddle to different places, and they both made great calls about avoiding white caps and redirecting to other equally beautiful routes. I cannot recommend enough that you book this kayak experience and ask for Dana and Koda to be your tour guide! Koda also does the biking tour some days, and if I had enough time, I would've booked that excursion as well! She is so knowledgeable, respectful of nature, and kind! The snacks are also great!!

If you're in Ketchikan, the Salmon Ladder is definitely worth a quick stop. It's one of those…read morethings that seems silly but is super cool once you actually see it. Watching the salmon fight their way upstream is wild, and during the spawning season (peak season is late summer), you can watch as they literally leap out of the water right in front of you. The ladder may not look like what you have pictured in your head, but I found myself completely engaged and rooting for the fish to make their way up it. Not many of the salmon use the ladder though, but it is amazing to watch the ones that do. It's an easy walk from downtown, and you can usually spot a few bald eagles hanging around waiting for their snack. There's also a nice little viewing platform / wooded boardwalk, and the Creek Street area nearby has shops and snacks if you want to make an afternoon of it. Note that there are two "entrances" to the ladder. One requires a LOT of stairs and the other is right off the street. If you have ADA requirements, do NOT attempt to climb those stairs from Creek Street. Go to the Mission Street entrance instead. You don't need a ton of time here, but it's one of those "only in Alaska" experiences that I'd consider a must-do.

What you see here is essentially the returning salmon fighting their way back to fresh waters against the powerful flow of the rushing waters. Needless to say this is a definite must visit if you are in Ketchikan. This is on creek street smack dab in the center of their downtown area and is hard to miss. I spent a good hour watching 1000s of salmon fight their way upstream. There is a man made ladder to aid the fish as well and it was interesting to see how these fish kept taking one step at a time up this "ladder".
