We didn't see any interesting shore excursions at Ketchikan through our cruise line (Norwegian Encore in August), so we booked this tour through Tripadvisor - and we are glad we did! We got picked up by Tracy at the Ward Cove Pier (where we docked). There were altogether maybe 8 passengers in the van. The totem park we visited was very quiet and picturesque. The hiking trail we went on was pretty awesome - great sceneries everywhere. Our tour guide Tracy is knowledge with a very soothing voice. I only wished the tour were longer! I could definitely spend half a day in the rainforest!

We do pick up at each cruise ship including the new Mill Cruise Ship Dock at Ward Cove where Norwegian ships dock. Our rainforest is amazing and we are so happy you enjoyed your time out there.

This was a great tour-- having grown up in Ketchikan, our guide Yolanda was a wealth of fascinating information about the Native cultures of the area, the history of the town of Ketchikan, and the plants and trees of the rainforest. My daughter and I thoroughly enjoyed this tour! They picked us up right at our hotel, and the tour van was super clean and comfortable

Tracy was an amazing guide. She is a local and has some amazing stories and folklore tales. She pointed out a bear feeding in the river that we would have totally missed due to in being camouflaged. She is friendly, easy to talk to and very knowledgable. We did the 3 hour totem pole and rainforest tour which was much cheaper than booking through the cruise ship. I highly recommend this tour. You never know what you are going to see !!! (and P.S. she serves an amazing smoked salmon dip!!!).
