Great Ketchikan Tour! - Highly recommend taking this tour! Our guide, Kevin, was extremely knowledgeable and passionate about the rainforest which made for an exciting outing. He also took us to the Potlach Totem Park was equally impressive. All in all, it was a great half day!

Awesome views and a great guide! - The views were spectacular and we enjoyed getting to learn more about the totem poles at Potlatch Park. Kevin was a great guide, who was extremely knowledgeable about the area. We loved getting to chat with him, especially about his adorable pug, Lord Ungrim!

We ended up being the... - We ended up being the only two guests on this tour later in the day, so we really enjoyed a personalized experience. Kevin went at our pace and took time to point out cool things in the forest. He also told us a lot about the history of Potlatch Park. Would recommend!

Very green and low key, enjoyable tour - Josh was our guide for our tour. He texted me as we debarked with detail instructions of our meeting location. He was early and because we were the only family on this tour, we were able to begin sooner. Josh was very knowledgable about Ketchikan and the Rainforest. He provided many interesting facts about the forest and gave us plenty of time to take pictures. The park rangers do an incredible job of maintaining the area and made for an easy hike. We enjoyed cookies from a local coffee shop and water when we returned to the van. Unfortunately, the Totem Park employees were not there due to an event, but Josh was able to take us inside and shared history about the totem poles. Josh was friendly, knowledgeable, and accommodating when we needed to find a restroom on the way back to town. The cookies were a plus and very good! We would definitely recommend this tour!

Definitely bring your rain gear in July (jacket, waterproof shoes, umbrellas would just get in the way). The cookies - OMG!! The rainforest was amazing and we learned so much. Also really enjoyed the totem pole village and hearing the stories. 10/10
