Beautiful Nature Walk

October 05, 2022

This was an enjoyable 3 hour trip to a title park and forest. You’ll spend about an hour or less at the totem park. There are facilities to use there if needed, as well as a nice gift shop. Then you’ll head to the forest for a beautiful walk to a waterfall. You’ll also pass a stream where you can see salmon swimming. The owner of the company was our guide. She’s a local woman with a lot of knowledge.

Rain Forest Excursion Ketchican

August 20, 2019

The walk through a section of the rain forest was very enjoyable and picturesque with waterfalls. Natalie our guide was very informative and shared lots of stories of life in Alaska. The tour of the totem pole park was very interesting with many more stories. We had plenty of time following the excursion to walk around and explore Ketchican.

Guide Natalie made this excursion delightful. Her narration of the Totem Park was superb. The hike she led was one of the best I have enjoyed in recent experience.

Booked early and thought was different

August 02, 2019

I ended up loving this more than what I thought I'd booked. It was a small intimate group in a van. Much better than the busload tours. Loved the Potlatch village and all the information on how life was lived by the natives. The walk through the Rainforest was fun, as well as, informational. Loved the personal stories that our guide told us. We even enjoyed the drive to the different places because our guide entertained us with stories and information along the way. She provided rain slickers, if needed and umbrellas. She took our pictures so we could actually be together in some of our pictures. We loved the salmon salad on crackers that we had at the end of the tour. Even the little shop was fun. I actually found reasonable items as remembrances.
