Small-group Rainforest Hiking Adventure- Ketchikan Excursion

A lovely alternative to large group tours snd a welcome break from the crowds of the cruise ship in the stunning Tongass National Forest landscape. Dawn was knowledgeable in wildlife, flora, fauna. A very easy going person and a skilled hiker. The hike was approximately 5 miles on a gorgeous moderate trail.

Dawn was an excellent tour guide! She taught us about the plants and trees in the rainforest. It was about a 20-25 min ride from the cruise terminal to the trailhead entrance. From there we went at our own leisure as far as we wanted to go. It was a beautiful easy hike.

Breathtaking views! Private and secluded experience! Our guide, Dawn, is a native Alaskan, and is very knowledgeable with the local wildlife and fauna.

We hiked five miles of the Lunch Creek Trail in the Tongass National Forest. It was a beautiful, easy-to-moderate hike with a knowledgeable guide who knows the plants and trees.

Dawn picked us up from Ward Cove and we trekked out on the Lunch Creek Trail. Dawn was absolutely amazing - a wonderful guide and person! My 11 year old daughter talked Dawn’s ear off most of 6+ mile hike, but it made her feel more at ease and able to accomplish some of the tougher terrain. Go on this hike to explore the Tongess Rainforest!

Our guide Dawn was awesome and very knowledgeable! Good communication pre-trip. She got us back to port with plenty of time. Our hike went a good ways into the rainforest. Would totally do that hike again and would plan more time so we can go even further in. Thanks Dawn!

Don't waste your money with any other tour, Dawn was amazing! Not your usual tour guide, spent time getting to know us and her knowledge is amazing! Felt like I was hiking with a friend. Hike to Lunch Creek was spectacular. Her communication pre trip was excellent and great follow up with pictures. This is not some large company taking your money this a local person with a true interest in the enjoyment of showing people the beautiful area she gets to live in. A hike we will never forget! Could have hiked all day with her it was so enjoyable.

If you are looking for an alternative to large groups, so you can immerse yourself into the Tongass National Forest landscape this tour is for you. My guide Dawn was knowledgeable in wildlife, flora, fauna and Alaskan history. Moreover, she was very personable and a skilled hiker. The hike was approximately 5 miles on a gorgeous moderate trail.

This tour was very enjoyable and definitely recommended for those who want to experience the great outdoors in Ketchikan. The trail along the Lunch Creek was beautiful and well maintained. We were the only two people on the tour, so we were able to go at our own, faster pace - so much more fun than larger group outings. Our guide, Dawn, was so personable and engaging, we chatted the whole time.

Dawn our trail guide was very knowledgeable about the Tongues National forest as she grew up in the area. Walking in an unfamiliar forest would have been intimidating but Dawn made you feel safe . She takes great photos and can identify native plants along the way .
