Rejseplan
En fantastisk rejse på 8 km langs kysten fører dig til det eksklusive Alaska Rainforest Sanctuary, en privat reserve beliggende i de skovklædte bjerge ved den rustikke sild Cove. Dette raffinerede naturlige miljø er hjemsted for skaldede ørne, sorte bjørn, sæler, en række forskellige fugle og andre arter, der tiltrækkes af de store laksekørsler i det rigelige havmunding. Ud over mulighederne for visning af vilde dyr giver denne tour dig mulighed for at se og fotografere levende ørne på nært hold, observere rensdyr og observere en mesterindfødt totemstangkarver på arbejdet. Du vil blive mødt af din naturalist og guidet langs en forbedret sti gennem hjertet af den tætte skov, blandt høje stande af hængeklæd, gran og Alaska cedertræ. Skovbunden er dækket med moser, vilde blomster og en række bær. Der vil blive stoppet ved strategisk placerede udsigtsområder. Din guide fører dig til et beskyttet åbent flodmunding, hvor du følger Eagle Creek langs en forhøjet træpromenade med udsigt over græsbevoksede vådområder. Store laksekørsler vender tilbage til gyde her. Se og lyt til symfonien for fuglaktivitet i disse spektakulære omgivelser. I gydeperioden lever bjørne og sæler af laks i Eagle Creek, og sandsynligheden for at se disse fascinerende dyr er god. Skaldede ørne og andre fugle venter på rester i flodmundingen. Sitka sort hale hjort, mink og marten hyppigt også området. Sæsonmæssige økosystemændringer resulterer i forskellige niveauer af dyrelivsaktivitet. Hvis du kan lide naturen, vil du elske denne tour. Ved afslutningen af en halv kilometer lang vandretur har du mulighed for at besøge Alaska Wildlife Foundation, en non-profit organisation. Benyt lejligheden til at fodre deres Alaskan-rensdyr samt se rovdyr på nært hold, da en raptorspecialist forklarer arven og levestederne for de forskellige arter. Efter disse store fotografiske muligheder vil du blive guidet gennem det historiske Herring Bay Lumber Company savværk, oprettet af den legendariske pioner Ben Fleenor. Se en mestre indfødt totemstangkarver på arbejde og nyd hans mange værker foran vores General Store. Udforsk de fortolkende skærme og nyd gratis forfriskninger, mens du gennemser i General Store. Inkluderet: Regn ponchoer om nødvendigt. Gratis kaffe, varm chokolade, te og en røget laksesnack i dagligvarebutik. Adgang til det sydøstlige Alaska Discovery Center.

This was an excellent walking tour where we were able to see salmon swimming and bald eagles feasting on them. This was not a difficult hike and I would highly recommend it.
There is no wildlife center or Eagle sanctuary. This is false advertising as the rescue portion was closed down over a year ago. We did not get a tasting of salmon or anything else. We walked for 1.5 hours through a privately owned rain forest to learn about the flora and fauna (literally). He was very knowledgeable and was the only hood part of the trip. There was no wildlife and of course a gift shop area at the end of the walk with shopping, a blacksmith, and a bar. What we paid was extremely expensive for just getting the tour through the rainforest. No eagles, no wildlife at all. They even changed the name of the tour on our tickets to something that cost less because the items advertised here are no longer offered.
Tour guide Gavin very knowlegable and friendly. Gave great tour and made it fun for all thankyou Gavin and good luck!!!!
Fantastic hike through the Alaska rainforest sanctuary with an excellent guide Emily. We watched eagles fish for salmon and visited the Alaskan Raptor Center for injured birds. A must do tour for the nature lover! Our tour included Totem Park where we learned about Totem history and creation.
We never went with My Holidays Online but with Alaskan onshore tours. We had a wonderful tour and initially saw a black bear run across the road on our way there. We also saw a deer run across the road. The rainforest wildlife center was great and we also saw a black bear in the meadows along with lots of bald eagles. We saw some beautiful caged birds (due to injury for their protection). We also saw totem poles being carved. Just an amazing visit.
You have to be prepared for this but it is worth it! Nature is superb here we have a beautiful example, too bad that men strive good to destroy everything!!!
Took the black bear and wildlife exploration while in port from my cruise. Told we needed to be quiet to not scare the wildlife. Seems pretty pointless, when you have zipliners screaming and yelling overhead, loud vehicles continually going up and down the road carry the people to their destinations. The serenity of the forest was completely ruined. Not to mention that no wildlife was seen except for an eagle. I am sure the noise spooked anything within hearing range. We were supposed to see a master totem carver in action but he was on break so our guides read us the signs that were posted around the mill. Snack was a ritz cracker with salmon spread and coffee. This was not worth the $
We had an excellent time. The guide was very knowledgeable and informative. I would recommend this tour to others
Even though the guided educational walk through the rain forest was very good (excellent in fact) and our guide, Angie was awesome, the price of this excursion was excessive-we saw 4 rescued birds and 1 wild eagle.
