This was an excellent excursion for our cruise stop in Ketchikan. Our guide Zach was very knowledgeable and took the time to answer questions about local flora and culture. We even got to see a bear fishing for salmon! Highly recommended!

Rainforest Walk & Totem Park Small Group Tour done on Sept. 13, 2024 with Zach as our guide from Wild Wolf Tours. Fantastic! Zach picked us up at Cruise ship terminal in a comfortable minivan, 6 adults on our tour. Drove to a Tongass Rainforest Trail that had no other people, beautiful lush forest with waterfalls, Zach pointed out the types of trees, plants, mushrooms, led us to the Pacific shore, gorgeous view of islands. Zach was fun and high energy, even jumping into the stream to try to catch visible salmon, then we went to the Potlatch Totem Park. Again, very few people there. Stories of Indigenous tribes, how totems are made, awesome totems and buildings, pretty site on the water, nice gift shop with handmade items. Wow, did we get away from the crowds and have a great time! Highly recommended! Thanks Zach!
