We loved this tour! Our guide was amazing and did everything in her power to get us up close to wildlife (safely). We saw starfish, deer, a bald eagle, and a bear! She went back to our first location to make sure we saw a bear. The waterfall was also amazing!

Kaitlyn was very knowledgeable about the area (born and raised in Ketchikan) and was always teaching us something along the drive and at the stops. She made the excursion fun even in the rain and had alternate plans ready.
