Alaska Rainforest Sanctuary, Ketchikan

Holy cow!!!! This place was off the charts cool!!! We walked on these bridges over the rainforest bed. We had been walking quite awhile with no bear sightings and then BOOM we had bear! But I have to say that before we saw the bears, I was truly soaking up the gorgeous views of the moss covered rain forest. The trees are so insanely tall and the streams and waterfalls are so beautiful and peaceful. But, yes, getting to see the black bears was incredible. They would swim into the water, put their snout in the water and boom they had a salmon in their mouth! Then they would take it over to a rock (aka table) and feast. And then repeat over and over. Such an awesome tour. I highly recommend this company.

We had a great tour while we were in port on a cruise. The company picked us up at the Ward Cove terminal and we had a private tour for the 4 of us. Amy was our tour guide and she did a great job. She was fun, informative and engaging. While on the tour we were lucky enough to see several wild eagles We stopped by the Raptor Center and got an up close look at a Bald Eagle, Red Tail Hawk and a Peregrine Falcon, while learning more about the work of the sanctuary. We ended the tour speaking with a local craftsman continuing the heritage and culture of hand carving totem poles. After the tour we had the option to return to the dock or get dropped off in town. This is a great operation run by a friendly team. Thanks to all, especially Amy!
