Our guide, Kevin, was very knowledgable about the forest and totem park. We were the only couple on the tour, so it was very personalized and not rushed. The cookie was amazing!
Kevin is awesome!! Great short forest hike and then to the totem park. Kevin is very knowledgeable and funny guy.
This experience was AWESOME. Our guide Jeff was great and my kids loved all of his fun facts! He pointed out so many cool things we would have missed if we hiked alone. It was the perfect amount of time to see the nature in Ketchikan and walk around town. Also important to mention is the delicious cookie that is included. Thanks again for making our stop here so memorable.
Great tour. Jeff was a knowledgeable and fun guide.
We enjoyed the walk through a small part of the Tongass National Forest. Was excited to see a large Black Bear dart into a
creek for a salmon.
The Totem Poles were a highlight.
Learned so much about them.
Cookies were great too!
Highly recommend especially if you want information from a local guide!
You will meet the tour guide and be driven to the park where you will go on a 1 mile round trip hike in the rainforest. Patrick was our tour guide and he was very knowledgeable about the foliage and insects we saw. You go down to an observation deck where if you're lucky you'll see some bears (we didn't). Then you hike back to get back in the van and drive to a native clan house to see some carvings and totem poles. Overall it was very interesting and a nice way to spend 2 hours.
Short and exactly what we were looking for. Jeff our tour guide was fantastic. Wish we could have spent more time on the trails and hiking through the woods. Totem Park was a great history lesson and Jeff's knowledge as great.
Saw a bear catch a salmon in a creek in the forest. Very knowledgeable guide. Eat at Alaska Crepe in town; excellent!!
Jeff was very informative and knowledgeable about the forest walk & totem pole park. We had a wonderful time.
The tour was great and well paced, Kevin was very knowledgable we had a good time. Everything went well!
It was a horrible experience. They told me they were supposed to pick me up at 10:30 then they said 11 they didn’t come until 1115. We had to be back by 2:15 so it was cut short, which was really unfair since I paid so much money for this tour and they kept mixing everything up.
It was an easy hike and Jeff was very knowledgeable re: the flora and fauna and history of the totem poles/Tlingit culture.
Very Nice Tour, we walked in the forest and observed a waterfall. The tour guide Joe was very knowledgeable.
We had a nice nature walk and saw lots of things on the beach like star fish. The cookie at the end was delicious. We didn’t spend a lot of time at the totem park because the rain and we had spent a lot of time on the nature walk.
The Tongass Rainforest is absolutely beautiful, and if you have the opportunity to take a walk through it, you should do it. The trail on this walk isn’t too challenging for someone in decent shape. You won’t regret it. Our guide had a lot of good information, and knew which plants and berries we could taste which made it fun.
We had a short visit on our Alaska cruise in Ketchikan, so we decided to take a tour that featured a hike to nearby rainforest and a visit to see totem poles. Our guide Kevin was truly awesome. He lives in Ketchikan and brought a firsthand knowledge to Ketchikan’s history and culture. The short rainforest hike was extremely interesting and showed an environment seldom seen in most forests. The stories behind the structure of the totem poles was fascinating. I would give our guide Kevin a 10 on the scale of knowledge and friendliness. I would definitely recommend this tour.
Super awesome and perfect for our family of four. Joe, our guide, was super knowledgeable and a great pleasure to talk to or ask questions. The scenery was unmatched and as well as the history. It was the perfect amount of time given our schedule.
We really enjoyed our tour! Our tour guide, Jeff, was great! The hike was very interesting and informative. The totem park was great too. We highly recommend this tour!
We had an amazing experience with Jamie! My kids said they would give 10 stars. She was very knowledgeable and super accommodating to meet our timeline. Would highly recommend! This experience was the highlight of our trip.
The guide was great. He was very knowledgeable, considerate, patient, and flexible. Wish the hike was a bit more of a hike vs a stroll. But nonetheless still nice.
Short easy hike. Kevin our guide was very knowledgeable of the flora and fauna as well as the geography. We also visited a totem pole park and enjoyed the information shared .
Very friendly and knowledgeable guide. Good group tour with. The rainforest was beautiful and we learned a bit about native plants
Brian was a great guide for the tour. He was very knowledgeable and gave us a great tour of the totem poles. The rainforest and tidal pool walk was beautiful and fun.
Jeff was very knowledgeable and kind. We had a great walk learning about local flora and fauna. Jeff was also able to tell us about the Totem pole history. At the end we received a cookie from a local bakery that was delicious!
Excellent hike with extremely knowledgeable guide. Beauty beyond words. Cool insights about the rainforest and the Totem park. I can recommend this tour with highest accolades. Thank you Kevin!! Just amazing.
Kevin was a great tour guide. Very knowledgeable about the land. We enjoyed the tour but will say if you have knee troubles, there is some steep steps and terrain throughout the nature walk.
Great tour that provides a short hike into the forest and a stop at the totem park without taking up your whole day. Small group setting with friendly and knowledgeable guides (Jamie and Gabe). Would recommend for all ages.
We enjoyed this beautiful hike and visit to the totem park. Jeff, our guide, was very friendly and knowledgeable.
We had a great morning with our tour guide Jamie. She was fun and very knowledgeable. Great hike. Lots of information.
Our guide shared lots of interesting information about the forest and totem poles. The scenery was beautiful. We learned a lot! The cookies were delicious! Appreciated that this tour did not involve large crowds neither in our group nor at the sites we visited!
The walk thru the rainforest was very interesting. Our guide, Adam, was very knowledgeable about the area and we enjoyed having many conversations with him during out tour. The Totem park was not as good as the adjacent totem park, but Adam gave us the choice between the two and we picked this one because we had seen the other park on another trip. Overall, it was a good tour.
