It started with an engaging bus trip to the site. (Potties are available for one last pit stop before boarding your canoe.) I hope I remember the name of our guide correctly...Tyler (who had just graduated from Gonzaga) met us and got us ready for our trip. He was patient and helpful with getting my Mom in the canoe. She has limited mobility but he took his time to make sure she got in and out of the canoe easily. He was a wealth of knowledge about the area and what we were seeing. And he was funny too. It's a beautiful place! Our canoe trip took us into the Tongass National Forest where a yummy snack of homemade salmon dip, jelly, bread, chowder, coffee, and hot chocolate were waiting for us. It was all very good! We then took a nature walk within the Tongass and it was beautiful. I wanted to see more. Canoe trip back was fun and worth the sore muscles the next day. Book this adventure...you won't regret it!

Wow, wow, wow. From the moment of getting into the van, our guide Doran started sharing information about Ketchikan’s history, people, geography, and ecology. This continued throughout the tour to Totem Blight Park, Harriet Hunt lake and the nature trail. So much information in such a short time, delivered with spontaneity and humor that made it easy to take in and remember. His storytelling skills made the totems come to life. He let us create echos at the lake and that was an amazing experience. He kept safety at the forefront and was the penultimate professional. His love of the place was contagious. Laughter rang throughout the day from the youngest of us (8) to the oldest (75), from British to Scottish to American. We felt like old friends at the end of the day. We certainly could spend more time listening to Doran love on Ketchikan. Ok, disclaimer. He’s our son. But this tour enabled us to see him in his element and we were so impressed. We learned so much about the town, the totems, the lake, the plants and about him. He shared his excitement freely with the entire group. We may be proud parents but the company should be proud too.
