Wonderful tour and exciting wildlife - Katlyn was terrific. She explained what we were going to see, then took us to see bald eagles and multiple bears. I would go on this tour again!

See more of Ketchikan - The beach exploration was special. We saw a red crab, many plump starfish (purple and brown) a sea slug, sea anemone, mussels, eagles, and a kelp whip. The waterfall was beautiful, and Kaitlyn sure worked hard for us to spot a bear. I recommend!

Incredible beach and salmon experience, bears not as much - The staff was the best, warm, knowledgable, friendly and funny. As per the expectation from the cover image of the tour on seeing bears upclose, not as happy. The point where this tour takes you is way too far and too tiny. I was hoping for a WALK neer the salmon river in a stretch of land.
