5.00Lauren was great. She went above and beyond to find bears. I normally get motion sickness a bit but her driving was wonderfully smooth.
Best excursion in Ketchikan!

5.00We were able to see a bear come down and catch some breakfast. It was awesome! She was so knowledgeable about the animals and their habits, habitats, and the environment of Ketchikan as a whole. We took a stroll on the beach, finding small sea creatures, then got to see the famous totem poles- which she provided back stories for. Finally, we ended at the salmon latter, right above creek street. We would HIGHLY recommend this experience for anyone who wants an all in one day. We got to do/see everything we wanted within the few hours our cruise line allowed. It was phenomenal.
