3 Hour Rainforest Walk and Totem Park

Overview

Enjoy a rainforest walk and visit a Totem Park on our 3 hour excursion in scenic Ketchikan, Alaska on this small group tour with local guide.

Explore the lush green rainforest of Alaska among huge old growth trees and moss blanketing the forest floor. The remote nature trail follows a cascading creek and we stop at a beautiful waterfall viewing area. The trail does have several sets of stairs and uphill / downhill portions.

Had an amazing time! Tracy is extremely knowledgeable of the Ketchikan area and shares so much interesting information. She has a great personality, and I felt she really puts forth the effort to ensure you to have a great tour. I would highly recommend this tour! I learned a lot about Ketchikan! Even got to see a bear which was an added thrill.

I was able to take the 3 Hour Rainforest Walk and Totem Park excursion. Natalie was our group guide (I was solo) and I cannot be more grateful for her knowledge, attention to every detail, and warm personality. Her sense of wonder and excitement to share in the encounter made the trip one of the most special I've ever experienced. I continue to look back at photos taken there and hope to return soon--as soon as I can! I cannot recommend this excursion highly enough if you are looking to experience the beautiful peace the nature of Ketchikan has to offer in a small group setting. Learning the history and culture of the native Haida, Tlingit, and Tsimshian people was a huge highlight and unforgettable.

We took our tour with Natalie and let me tell you, she is a gem! There were two couples in our group and a single older gentleman from England. Natalie misses nothing, She spends time on the forest trails and notices every nuance as it develops. She kept an eye on her group and showed us the changes of the rain forest as fall set in. Waterfalls make a sound that is good for the soul. We sure enjoyed the post walk snack. No leftovers!! If you have a chance to take this walk and also go thru the Totem area, do it. Thanks Natalie for a day we will long remember.
