Ketchikan Rainforest Canoe and Nature Walk

This tour was easily accessed through the port! The bus taking us to the lake was late arriving so there was no need to rush off the ship and get there early as requested! Once under way our driver was very entertaining and filled us in on the history of the region! Our guide was nicknamed Clover and she was very efficient at getting everyone in the canoes! We had stories and songs to paddle along to! the lake is remotely situated and pristine! We docked at a small site to explore the Rainforest and this was very interesting but not long enough ! We were provided with light snacks of soup and salmon which was great! We enjoyed the experience despite the rain and our guide was very sweet! We would have preferred to spend more time in the forest!

Colt was very kind, considerate, and knowledgeable. He gave us an opportunity to really experience being here. He was very personable funny we felt like he was really watching out for us. He Explained a lot of history I am very happy he was our tour guide

We had such a good time paddling the canoe and enjoying a short nature hike. Our guide, Jenna I think (long blonde hair) was amazing. She was very knowledgeable about the area showing us interesting things along the route. This excursion was great for all activity levels. Highly recommend!

Had a great day! we lucked out with the weather and had sunshine which helped considerably. We loved canoeing across the lake and the walk-through the rainforest which is really interesting. The whole event was great fun and I enjoyed the fact that we all paddled and took part in the activity, our guide was Clover and she was super fun, after our canoeing and rainforest walk we visited the totem park which was really interesting loved hearing all the stories about the different totems

Disappointed. YOU MUST BE WILLING TO PADDLE! This is an interactive activity. DRESS APPROPRIATELY, YOU WILL GET WET AND COLD. MUST WEAR WATERPROOF BOOTS, PANTS, JACKET, HAT AND GLOVES! Don't ruin the excursion for others if you don't want to paddle lightly for 30 minutes. First, we boarded an actual school bus that traveled on paved roads for a bit. We picked up another group at a different port and proceeded on a extremely bumpy ride to the lake. The other participants were not dressed properly therefore, they were cold and wet and probably miserable because it rained the entire time and it was pretty cold. Thankfully, We were dressed appropriately but when only a few people on the canoe are paddling it makes the cruise pretty weak. Our guide was not loud enough, did not provide the correct paddles for each person and did not teach simple instructions before leaving the dock so when we were in the middle of the lake she had to try to teach/shout instructions which didn't work. She kept asking the others to paddle and they would try to haphazardly put their paddle in the water (Not in-sync) but it was so bad it was actually funny. There was NO chowder as advertised and NO warm drinks when we arrived at the trail. The only thing they offered to drink was apple juice like we were a bunch of 2nd graders!( I would've loved some water after paddling a group of tourists around the lake). The trail tour was super short and simple. I think it could've been better but it seemed like a bunch of 20 year old kids running the event and they missed the mark. Jess was a sweet young girl but again she didn't seem like she had enough training/experience. Also, don't expect to see any wildlife, there is nothing much there. It's a beautiful nature area but I was paddling the entire time, in the rain, with the rain hood shielding my face. If the 4 of us didn't paddle the boat literally would stop in the water. The others were unaware that their participation was mandatory. PLEASE sign up for appropriate activities so you don't ruin the excursion for others.
