Discover the wild side of Ketchikan! Step off the beaten path and experience the natural beauty of Alaska’s rainforest, beaches, and wildlife on this unforgettable 3-hour small-group adventure. Our locally guided tour takes you deep into the lush Tongass National Rainforest, along remote beaches, and to hidden spots where eagles soar, salmon swim, and wildlife thrives. With a maximum of 10 guests per tour, you’ll enjoy a personal, flexible experience where you can ask questions, take amazing photos, and connect with the landscape in an authentic way. We specialize in small groups to give you a richer, more meaningful connection to the land, wildlife, and culture. We’ll meet you right at your cruise dock — including Ward Cove — and whisk you away for a one-of-a-kind adventure. This is more than a sightseeing tour — it’s an immersive, locally guided Alaskan experience you’ll never forget. Let’s go explore Ketchikan’s wild beauty together!

Q&A

Q: What's the age limit for this rainforest walk? Can kids join?

A: Great question! Kids are absolutely welcome on this tour, and it's a fantastic way for families to experience Alaska's beauty together. Just keep in mind that younger kids might need a bit more supervision, especially on the trails. The guides are super friendly and good with kids, so it should be a fun time for everyone!

Q: How's the weather usually in Ketchikan for this hike? Should I be worried about rain?

A: Ketchikan is known for its rain, so it's definitely a good idea to prepare for it! The tour provides ponchos, which is great. I recommend wearing layers and waterproof shoes if you can. Even if it rains, the rainforest is beautiful and adds to the experience!

Q: Is parking available if I drive to the dock for this tour?

A: Yes, there's parking at the cruise docks, and you shouldn't have any problems finding a spot. Just be aware of the dock hours if you're driving down for the tour. It's best to arrive a little early to avoid any last-minute stress.

Just booked the Rainforest, Beach & Wildlife Walk in Ketchikan!

Hey everyone! I just booked the 3-hour rainforest walk for my family when we cruise to Ketchikan next month. We're super excited to see the wildlife and explore the Tongass National Rainforest. I love that it’s a small group tour—feels more personal. Any tips on what to wear or what snacks we should bring?

Anyone else done the Rainforest Walk in Ketchikan?

I did the rainforest, beach, and wildlife walk a few weeks ago and OMG it was amazing! Our guide was super knowledgeable and took us to some hidden spots for photos of eagles and salmon. The beaches were stunning. If you’re thinking about it as a gift, do it! Just wear good shoes and be ready for some light hiking.
