We took a tour in the Tongass Rainforest and ended up at the totem poles. It was very beautiful and informative.

Autumn, our tour guide, was wonderful. She was extremely knowledgeable and kind. She spotted the trees and wildlife so easily

Great excursion

Published on Sep, 2024

Great walk through the rainforest. Sara was an awesome guide and helped us identify different plants and mushrooms. We even saw a black bear climbing a tree! Excellent adventure and walk. Didnā€™t have a lot of time to really look at the totems but they were awesome and we were able to speak with an apprentice carver. Loved that part!

Amazing rainforest

It was really amazing to see bears catching salmon right out of the river. We learned so much about the plants and animals in the area. Our guide was very knowledgeable.

Tour guides were great!...

Great low key and super interesting excursion from a cruise. Jake was our guide and fantastic! We saw a totem poke park, old lumber mill and blacksmith after the rainforest walk.
