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. Experience natures beauty up close and step into this treasured land on our approximately 1.5 mile hike. Escape the crowds and take in the fresh air and peacefulness of the forest.

We had the most fun on our whole trip with Zach on our hike and totem park tour. He was friendly and unbelievably knowledgeable about every plant, tree and animal we came across. He also shared great stories about the history of the land which he is clearly so passionate about. He went above and beyond in every way, including jumping in the river to try and catch some salmon! He told us about his mom and all of her remarkable achievements. I'm sure she is as proud of him as he is of her! Highly recommend Wild Wolf Tours. Thank you again Zach!

We loved our experience with Wild Wolf Tours. First, our pick up from the cruise ship dock was super easy and seamless. They were easy to find and got us started right away. Next, our tour guide Austin was exceptionally well informed, a great educator and he was very hospitable and gracious. He spoke with an unassuming and helpful intelligence on natural phenomena (biology of the forest and the tidal zone), geological history and both native and local history. The rainforest trek was beautiful and peaceful, and Austin helped us spot (and eat) wild berries. The scenery there is incredible if you like the forest. (We lucked out with a stunningly beautiful day in the low 70’s.) We got to see a bald eagle feeding on the beach and Austin even took some great photos for us by positioning himself to get a better view. He shared homemade salmon spread with the group as a snack and then took us to the totem park. Austin gave excellent descriptions of the meaning of the carvings along the tour and even was able to answer our question about “ridicule” poles. We would strongly recommend Wild Wolf Tours to anyone visiting Ketchikan. We had a great time and came away with a deeper understanding of many different aspects of this area. Thank you Wild Wolf! Thank you and Bravo Austin! You were a great tour guide.
