This was an excellent excursion for our cruise stop in Ketchikan. Our guide Zach was very knowledgeable and took the time to answer questions about local flora and culture. We even got to see a bear fishing for salmon! Highly recommended!

I loved this tour! It was the perfect amount of nature and information about the local plants and trees, and totems with background information about the original people of the area. Our tour guide Jeff was knowledgeable, interesting, and made the trip really enjoyable despite the rain. He was prompt and a good driver, and had a lot of great information to share with the group. I highly recommend this tour.

This was a great tour through the Totem Park and Rainforest. Our tour guide was thorough, interesting and a Ketchikan native. She took us to the end of the island and was able to make the walks informative and entertaining for all ages on our tour.

Our family did the 2 hour Rainforest Hike and Totem Park tour. We had a great time and Zach did a terrific job! He even spent extra time teaching the kids about the local plants and wildlife. We would recommend this tour! Thanks!

Zach was an incredible tour guide. Very knowledgeable of the area, flora and culture. Really appreciated the extra effort on his part to show us sea creatures at low tide.

Thank you Wild Life Tours for picking us up right where we de-boarded our cruise and made it so easy. Jeff was an outstanding tour guide and shared all the fun facts and local knowledge as we drove to the Tongass Park. Great walk through the forest, unfortunately didn’t see large wildlife but a few toads and tried some fresh berries along the way. The second half of the excursion at the Totem Pole park was interesting and beautiful little park. Highly recommend this excursion if you stop in Ketchikan on a cruise!

We went with a private van and Albert a local guide with our group. He drove us around Ketchikan while telling us about the history of the place. We also saw a bear on our nature walks and a beautiful waterfall. We enjoyed our tour of the Totem park as well.

The 2-hour rainforest walk and totem park tour was fantastic!! Our tour guide was Zack who was very knowledgeable on Ketchikan, local fauna, totem lore, etc. It truly was a nice small group of about 10 people. Zack was personable and inquired about our interests and encouraged questions. It allowed for a more catered tour and not standard like a recorded tour. You can tell he really enjoys what he does and gave us tips on cooking and eating some of the local plants. He even went above and beyond when he was talking about the forest and animal dens by climbing into the den to show us how deep they go. We got to see some wildlife on the tour. There were black-tailed deer in the rainforest along the trail we were on. We really enjoyed the tour and highly recommend it for anyone who visits Ketchikan. A nice alternative to the cruise ship excursions.

What I love about these tours like with the JW whalewatching tour in Juneau that it is not about the money and tip. Jeff the guide was one who reallly liked it , had great pleasure, to explain us all about the nature in the rainforest and the totem parc. If you on the holland america line you only have time for the 2 hour tour. this suffice

Best tour we could’ve hoped for ! Zack was an awesome storyteller, historian, and all around swell guy. Took great care of our family group that ranged in age from 73 to 9 to make sure everyone had a great experience. 10 out of 10.

I had a 6 hour cruise stop in Ketchikan. I booked this tour thinking it would be a nice way to get out of downtown Ketchikan and still have a few hours left to explore Creek Street on my own. The tour was great and left me the perfect amount of time to do some independent exploring. The guide was very knowledgeable!

We just had our tour with Zach Stern as our guide. He was amazing and engaging and involved. All 4 teens did not complain once! We tried new things including drinking “water moss.” We were constantly entertained. The totem history was equally important and entertaining! Zach’s mom raised a fine young man and he clearly learned well from her too! Thanks for a great afternoon!

This is a highlight from our time in AK. Our tour guide, Zach, made the experience since an educational, interactive & fun time. All 4 teens in our group had a great time & asked questions. He went off the path to find different plants & nature to show us. He was covered in dirt by the end of our tour. He even physically showed us how bears fit in cave by crawling in! I would highly recommend this tour to learn about nature. And shout out to Zach's mom who raised an amazing human being!

Jeff was very knowledgeable and shared a lot of things about the flora, trees and plants on our rainforest trek. We are deaf and he was very helpful to make sure we understood him while he e planned things. The totem poles is near the Pacific Ocean channel. Nice to Visit the location. Thank you.

What an outstanding tour guide and itinerary!! Booked somewhat blindly with this company and it really turned into the highlight of the trip! Zach took us through the beautiful rainforest and the Totem Bight park. His knowledge and respect for these places was palpable and his upbeat demeanor made our day! Felt that we got much more than our money’s worth! Beautiful scenery and great Native Alaskan culture! This guide was one of the best I’ve ever experienced and took the time to return a pair of sunglasses my friend had left behind! (A cutie patootie, too!) Would definitely book again!
