Such an incredible experience being in the rainforest and walking along a river and stopped at several waterfalls! The tour guide Hans was amazing! We were a group of 8 and we all agree it was the best tour on the entire trip! The kids just loved being in the rainforest and the walk was and very surreal! Highly recommend Emerald Forest Tours!

So my family finally got the chance to all go together on a cruise to Ketchikan, Alaska and there we found this perfect little touring company -- Emerald Forest Tours. Our guide Bianca was amazing!! She knew all the ins and outs! I guess it was really busy that day so she took us to these secret little places where she showed us AMAZING views of the wildlife but without all the crowds. The kids loved it and even my 86 year-old father had a great time thanks to Bianca taking us on more accessible routes. She really was super fun, kind, energetic and SO knowledgeable! She was dying to show us more, but we had to get back. However, we're for sure booking with this company again so we can see all that other cool stuff she mentioned. We love you Bianca, thank you!!!
