Amazing personalized tour - We had such a great experience and it was the highlight of our Alaska cruise. We wanted to avoid the crowds and experience a real part of Alaska. Jordan was fantastic as a guide. He has lived in the area for years and really knows the land and history. The hike itself was not too challenging for someone with minimum hiking experience but I would caution older groups. It rained during our hike but once under the canopy in the rainforest it wasn’t bad. The hike went at our pace and we had plenty of time for photos and taking in the scenery. Waterproof shoes are recommended but not a dealbreaker if you don’t have them. Highly recommend.

5+ Star Tour! - This tour was a highlight of our trip! The day of the tour, there was heavy rain and high winds in Ketchikan, but our guide, Jodan told us that while we would get wet, we would experience none of the annoying effects of rain driven by high winds – the reainforest absorbs all of that. He was right, and we were glad that we braved the elements. Jordan brought the rainforest to life with his explanations of what we were seeing. We even found a mother bear and two cubs in one of the creeks, and the rain and wind stopped for our time on the beach. We highly recommend this tour.

Amazing Excursion - Jordan was an amazing tour guide and very knowledgeable! Best excursion out of all the ones we did on the Alaska cruise. Ketchikan was our favorite port stop. Wish our stop was longer.

Lovely hike - Great hike through the rainforest and to the beach! Our guide, Justin, did a wonderful job of explaining all the fauna and flora we were seeing, and he took lots of photos for us too. We were very lucky to have perfect weather too.

Great Company - It was great. Our guide was a encyclopedia of information about Ketchikan. He moved at our pace and I recommend this company. I will use them again if I ever get back to Ketchikan.

Excellent Rainforest Learning Experience - We had a 3 hour excursion through the Tongas Rain Forest in Ketchican. Jordan was our excellent guide! He took us to the north side of the island where the we almost had the place to ourselves. Jordan was a walking encyclopedia about the wildlife, trees, plants and native history. He could not have been any better. It was about a mile walk through a beautiful forest and coastlines. We all had a great experience and highly recommend this excursion.

Nice break - It was a perfect day for this excursion and the short amount of time we had from the ship. Although, we did not see any wildlife that day, Jordan was very informative about the area and rainforest. We also had time afterwards to visit the town before returning to the ship.
