Thank you Tracy we had a wonderful time on our visit to the totem park and rainforest hike. The hike was just what we needed and the salmon dip at he conclusion was a very nice treat. Your knowledge of the culture and history made this a great experience that we thoroughly enjoyed.

During our Alaskan cruise, we did the rainforest excursion during our stop in Ketchikan. Turned out to be the right choice. The hike through the woods is relatively easy, and you see some beautiful scenery. We were lucky enough to be there when the salmon were starting their run, and actually saw a lot of them swimming upstream, and jumping through the air at the waterfall. The totem pole park is interesting, but not as much so as the rainforest. But the best part of the tour was our guide, Natalie. She was awesome. She clearly loves her job and has passion for it, and was a wealth of information. She alone could make an average trip worthwhile.

Can highly recommend the 3 hour Rainforest Walk and Totem Park Tour. The rainforest is so unique, beautiful, lots of different trees, river with the cascades. We saw salmons jumping the rapids, it was so amazing. Our guide Tracy was very friendly, told us lots about the wildlife and life in Ketchikan, thanks to her we learned a lot more about beautiful Alaska. Totem Park was very interesting too. And Tracy provided very delicious snack too, salmon spread with crackers. Don’t miss this tour when in Ketchikan.
