    All tours depart from the Ketchikan Visitors Center Liquid Sunshine gauge located on Berth 2. 131 Front St. Ketchikan, AK 99901. Look for our Dock Representative holding a Snorkel Alaska sign. Please arrive 15 minutes early and don't forget to bring a towel, swimsuit and an extra pair of socks to wear under the wetsuit. The socks help the suit slip on and off easier.For guests traveling on Norwegian Cruise Line you will need to take the FREE shuttle bus from The Mill at Ward Cove to downtown Ketchikan. The shuttle can be booked upon disembarkation at the Mill at Ward Cove. The roundtrip shuttle is free. Allow approximately 45 minutes to one hour to get to town from the time you disembark the ship.

Prescription masks and optional weight belts for free diving are also available. You will receive complete instruction, in water supervision and a one hour guided marine life tour conducted by our experienced guides. Beginners are always welcome! Hot beverages and water are also included. This tour is rated as most strenuous due to the tight fitting nature of the wetsuit.
