Our most popular tour is Totem Bight State Park, Rainforest and City Tour, all in one. The setting for this Seaside Park is spectacular.

As you wind your way along Ketchikan's waterway ten miles north, your guide will point out landmarks such as the Old Pulp Mill, Ward Cove Cannery and Guard Island. Upon your arrival at the park you will be guided along a non-strenuous path through a beautiful rainforest to a clearing right on the ocean. Eighteen Totem Poles and a Clan House await you, and you will no doubt enjoy the peaceful serenity as your guide narrates the legends and stories of the poles.

It is not uncommon to see Bald eagles at the park and to hear the wisp of their wings as they fly overhead.

Next, you will enjoy the Russian Museum with its historic collection of guns, dating from 1535-1868 along with displays of mammoth tusks, furs and ivory.

This tour also includes Ketchikan’s city highlights and our famous Salmon Fish Ladder, where each season the Salmon fight their way upstream to spawn. (June through September). There are many stops along the way for viewing wildlife if present. There are restrooms facilities available at the Park.
