We went on this trip wondering if we would see any wildlife like bears bald headed eagles and more We’ll from the time we hit the water in the large water craft it was an amazing journey We stopped and pulled up a crab trap on board and were able to man handle live crabs and an excellent talk on how crabs live etc As we weren’t stopped there behind us was a mother black bear and two cubs on the shore not 100 feet away Then the operator took us onto the rear deck and got the bald eagles to come and swoop just near the edge of the boat to pick up a piece of fish Back to the dock and as much crab you can eat in an hour plus a glass of wine Fantastic value for money

Excellent Atv writing excursion. It was fun for all. I have 2 teenagers that drove the Atv which they enjoyed. Got to go into the rainforest and see a water falls. Guides were fun and knowledgeable. It had rained and it was muddy but the gear protected our clothes

We, like so many others, scheduled, our excursions in advance. Saw a FB post suggesting his company. didn't know at the time that Dom, who suggested it, is apparently the owner. when i spoke with him, he offered a small discount to the Vietnam Vets in our group, as he is a Vet also ? great communication in the beginning. even thru the months of Covid. when NCL had to cancel, i told him we obviously, wouldn't make it , he offered to move til 2021. we weren't sure what was happening with health issues, so we didn't want the refund. I let him know, at that point the ghosting started. I had booked our group for 8 other tours and shows (was going to Vegas on the way back) and received immediate no hassle refunds. when we received no other communication from him, and others that had booked told me he was ghosting them also, I sent details to my credit card company. They issued a temporary credit back to me, so of course, I reimbursed the others in our group. two days ago, I got the notice that he sent them a note that there are no refunds and they gave him back the $500. He is still ghosting customers. We have rebooked 3 cruises, for when ever they go. The one to Alaska in 2021 stops in Ketchikan. However, he is not acknowledging the offer of the rebooking from our paid in full. I'm reaching back out to the others that were stiffed to see about a joint effort to recoup our funds.

Dominic was amazing. His information about the history of the area really brings to life the beauty of Alaska, not just a tour. If you are eager to see wildlife and learn more about this wonderful area you should book it. Val

Replies to messages before booking, takes your money then completely ignores you and doesn’t deliver on promises made!

Took money for tour. cruise could not visit the port on tour day. He asked me to prove documentation from cruise line that they didn’t stop & never refunded. Said the refund was on the way multiple times. Now won’t respond. AVOID!!

We booked a 5hr custom Whale watching and wildlife tour. My wife's a little nervous about the sailing aspect but once we got down to the trimarans she was settled very quickly as Dominic made the Safety and Instructions very easy to follow. After about twenty minutes of us sailing around under Dominic's supervision he let us loose so to speak. Absolutely breathtaking experience and the views were just amazing. Then out of nowhere Dominic had us rushing towards this point of a small island where we managed to get within 30 feet of three Humpback Whales feeding. We then sailed back and jumped onto his van for the land tour where we got to see three bears and a mother and cub. It seemed that everywhere we looked eagles were soaring around us. If you get a chance to do this tour ask Dominic to take you to the small beach where he gets starfish and we saw more whales breaching. This was by far the best tour we had in Alaska and we saw more wildlife in Ketchikan than we did in the rest of Alaska. Thank you Dominic and Bruno (The Dog) for an amazing time with my family.

My wife and I enjoy stillwater kayaking. We booked this trip while staying a few days in Ketchikan. There was another delightful couple from New Zealand who also went. We all had a wonderful time. The guides were professional and very knowledgeable. One of our guides was also a bartender at a local establishment and invited us to visit her there. Surprise to us, the owner of the Kayak company was there and we all had a most pleasant evening over a couple of beers, conversation and good company. Can't wait to go back.

At the last minute, my friend and I changed our excursion from bear watching to kayaking. Neither one of us had ever done it so thought it would be a fun first-time adventure. It was!! We really enjoyed it and enjoyed the young man from Texas (lived with his uncle Pete!) that was our guide. He gave a lot of great history and was just a great guide. Would definitely do this again!

Very knowledgeable and informative. Took care of our group of twelve very efficiently. The only downside was it was hard to hear his commentary in the back of the van. A speaker system would have been nice.

We had a great trip with Dominic! He notified us a couple of days before that there was no wind and what would we like to do. We chose to kayak for 3 hours then did a tour of Ketchikan to learn its history. Dominic was great! He even took my hubby to some fishing spots so he could fly fish for the day while we did our excursion. You can't get that kind of service everyday. Aug 7th Sunny skies for our entire cruise :) We hope to come back very soon!!!

We had confirmed pre-paid reservations for this tour. Tonight I opened the electronic ticket and clicked on the link to double check where we were supposed to meet (at 0730) tomorrow morning when getting off the ship. To my shock, the link said no longer valid, tour canceled. Just yesterday the link was fine and still confirmed. No notice to us from the tour operator (Dominic Farley)! Nothing! We tried calling (left a message), sending a message via booking link...no response! Too late to schedule any other activity. Ruined our day in Ketchikan. Now I see the same feedback from others over the past few weeks (he offers multiple different tours). None of those negative reviews were showing when we booked. Beware. If a tour operator needs to emergently cancel an activity, the responsible thing is to notify the people scheduled for the tour. Now we are waiting to see if our money will be refunded. Very disappointing.

We had such a great time on our wildlife tour in Ketchikan. Dominic our guide was so knowledgeable about the area and the animals. He took us through the town and told us fun facts and information and then we headed out towards the wilderness. We were fortunate to see sea stars, deer, seals, so many bald eagles, and 4 bears including a mamma and her cub. It was an amazing experience. He also took us to an amazing waterfall which was breath taking. My kids, my mother and my husband and I all loved our time in Ketchikan thanks to our great tour. My kids are still saying, " if you see a bear yell 'bear, bear, bear and Dominic will come save you!"

Trip cancelled one day prior! We booked the private van for 14 passengers weeks in advance. I then communicated with them via text message to confirm. All was set. One day prior to arrival we received an email from Viator that the tour operator cancelled. I texted them directly to see what happened and to see if there was anything that we could do to make something work since this was our entire groups plan for the half day we had available in Ketchikan. No reply. Thank you for absolutely nothing! Avoid this "Tour Operator" at ALL COST.
