I visited the rainforest trails as part of a cruise excursion. Sadly, it rained the entire time I was in Ketchikan, including this hike. Yet, the experience was really nice. It was quiet, the sound of water dripping from above was so peaceful. There were many birds still active in spite of the rain, including red bellied sapsuckers, Stellar jays, and Townsend warblers. It is really difficult to take photographs in such rain, but I tried. It was so green and verdant, I expected to see hobbits or wood nymphs come sneaking out from under the foliage. The hike was pretty easy, although slippery. Dress warmly and plan on getting drenches if you do not have raingear.

Wonderful experience booked thru the cruise line. Knowledgeable and fun guide. Hike thru rainforest and boardwalk was spectacular. Saw more eagles than we could count, and a bear!! Very professional and well run organization

This guided hike provides more information on flora than fauna. The guide was knowledgeable. Aside from the hike, you may get to see a carver working on a totem pole. Note - if you're not on the clock and can spend a lot of time here, you will probably have a good opportunity to photograph eagles. Yo u'll definitely see eagles. With patience, you'll probably have some land or fly nearby. We also saw a bear. Note - the hike is very easy. Sneakers would work fine.

Our experience was great from Start to finish! Kaylie our bus driver was so knowledgeable of the area and very friendly! Our guides once we arrived, Olivia and Cassie were great as well! You can tell they love their job and we're very knowledgeable about the rainforest, its' history and the animals that reside there. We would absolutely recommend this trip to others and appreciate the staff for making it a great trip!

We had the best tour through the Rainforest Sanctuary and the best guide. Her name is Kristen. She was very personable and knew a lot. She was very enjoyable to listen and talk to. I highly recommend you keep her around she knows her stuff and makes the tour just so interesting and keeps everyone engaged. She was great!!!! WE were on a Princess Cruise.

Our guides Justin and Casey were excellent friendly but professional and they needed to be with black bears wandering freely around! Would we see bears? We needn’t have worried as after two minutes the signal was given and a black bear was spotted through the trees. Next a few minutes later another clearly in view helping himself to the salmon from the river that flows through. What a great experience observing these beasts in their natural environment. The guides were very knowledgable and would hesitate to recommend this tour to anyone.
