We had a wonderful time in sitca

October 19, 2022

We had a sweet young local guide who was vary knowledgeable about the local area. He brought us on a wonderful hike through the rain forest where we saw a water fall and where lucky enough to see a bear running off into the woods. We also went to the totem pole park. Where our guide not only took us on a tour, but was also able to tell us the stories of each pole.

Our tour guide was so knowledgeable and we were able to see so many things like banana snails and salmon swimming upstream! Well worth the price!

Great Experience

September 15, 2022

This walk through the rainforest was interesting and enjoyable. The walk through the park with the totem poles was equally as nice. The guide was very informed and engaged. Beautiful scenery and so much to learn. If you like this type of "adventure" this is a great excursion.

Seeing the forest and the totem poles

September 09, 2022

We went in a bus to walk in the state park, which we found very helpful in learning about the vegetation, but even more about indigenous tribal customs in the 21st century. The Totem Park was fascinating, made so by having a Native American guide who could tell us about the stories and symbols. Highly recommended. We had already walked around Ketchikan in the morning and seen the sights, so we were glad to be out of the town to see the country side. I found the bus ride past the edge of town of particular interest, seeing the stores an streets when the people have to live when the tourists disappear.

Rainforest Walk and Totem Park

July 26, 2022

My husband and I truly enjoyed this excursion! Before we left for our cruise, WildWolf Tours contacted us to see if we would switch to the 3-hour tour but we could not. They still came through with our 2-hour tour even though we were the only two on the trip! Patty, our guide, was very friendly and informative. The rainforest was amazing and I didn't think I would find the totem poles very exciting but they were! We would do it again!
