With an exceptional reputation built on thousands of reviews, this operator consistently delivers memorable adventures in Ketchikan's rainforest. The zipline experience stands out as particularly special for nervous first-timers, with guides like Hannah, Olivia, Stevie, and Nora earning repeated praise for their perfect balance of safety, encouragement, and humor. Multiple guests mention conquering their fear of heights thanks to patient, reassuring staff who made them feel completely secure while still having fun. The bonus wildlife sightings of bears, seals, and eagles add unexpected magic to the canopy tours. The rainforest sanctuary and totem park tour offers a different pace but equally passionate guides. Will receives glowing mentions for his infectious enthusiasm, knowledge of native plants, and willingness to go the extra mile (literally licking banana slugs for photo ops). Guests appreciate the hands-on approach to learning about the ecosystem, plus the opportunity to meet Kevin the totem carver and explore the blacksmith demonstrations. Small group sizes and thorough safety protocols round out an operation that clearly prioritizes both adventure and education.
Will, our guide for the Ketchikan Rainforest Hike and Totem Pole Sanctuary was awesome! He was passionate about sharing his knowledge, engaged us with questions, and sprinkled his delivery with humor. He paused for photos, helped us get great shots, and even licked the banana slug three times just so we could get a photo! The tour experience was greatly enriched by Will being our guide.
