Options de l'excursion
Itinéraire
Lors d’une escale à terre, votre guide expérimenté animera une courte promenade dans la nature mettant en valeur la flore et la faune de la forêt tropicale, y compris une plante carnivore, le Sundew, qui utilise ses tentacules pour piéger les petits insectes. Après le retour en bateau, les clients regagnent l’autocar et regagnent l’embarcadère du navire de croisière.
L'aventure commence par un tour panoramique en autocar dans un lac de montagne isolé niché dans la forêt nationale de Tongass. Là, vous monterez à bord d'un canot de style autochtone de l'Alaska et embarquerez pour votre aventure. Les canoës traditionnels de l'Alaska, qui mesurent 37 pieds, sont rapides, stables et faciles à manœuvrer. Promenez-vous dans une forêt tropicale luxuriante sous la direction d'un guide expérimenté tout en parcourant les rives du lac Harriet Hunt à la recherche de la faune et découvrez l'histoire naturelle et culturelle unique de la région.

Great communication and clear instructions on meeting area. Both the driver and guide were personable with great information about the history and interesting facts about the area. The clam chowder was a pleasant surprise after the initial paddle!!! Highly recommended excursion.
Our guide Josh was great. He did a wonderful job at explaining the science behind how nature functions. Our bus ride was a little bumpy but it got us there and back in one piece.
We had a wonderful time, our guide Carlie Lafever, was a hoot, lots of fun and great info on the nature walk. Carlie was very good getting 12 people working together to navigate the lake, make our stops and great exercise .The lake and scenery was beautiful. The homemade snacks were very good, we had seconds! LOL.
This was a great tour. Our tour guide Carlie made it a lot of fun. It was a very rainy and windy day but we got all geared up with a coat, paddle, and life jackets and loaded into a bright red canoe. Our guide did a great job to inform us how to paddle whilst teaching us about the history of the lake and such. You paddle out to an island and learn about plants and different things. Then we made a pit stop on the way back and they fed us chowder, salmon dip, crackers/bread, and had some hot drinks to warm us up on the rainy day. The nature walk was cool and informative. After the nature walk we loaded back up into the canoes and headed back to the dock where we started. Overall, a fun tour!
10 of us paddled a 20 person canoe. It was much more stable than a regular canoe. Our guide Keetan was very good. The hike is on a boardwalk and about 1 km long. That part was very easy. We had a wonderful snack of clam chowder, salmon and jam on bread. Very enjoyable
Enjoyed the canoe ride, it was actually fun but wished we had time while on the lake to take a photo, we had plenty of time to do this but kept paddling. Also the nature walk was too short. The food and drinks provided was delicious too. The lake was beautiful. The traveling guides were nice and helpful.
The tour we went on due to major inclement weather conditions should have been CANCELLED. The lake was full of white caps, wind was howling. I’m actually surprised that the tour which was booked via Royal Caribbean Cruise line continued by both the company and the cruise line. The nature walk was around 100 m long, the food supplied was pitiful with amounts, to the point that the groups were told to have two slices of bread each which would have been no more than 3-4 cm in length. Whilst the tour guides seemed to try their best out of all the tours we have done in Canada / States this by far has been the worst and not even comparable with other tours of similar pricing. I regret wasting my money on this tour and should have gone with another tour group. I am aware that weather in Alaska is temperamental but this tour proceeding on this date in my view bordered on negligence. I wish I didn’t waste my money on this tour
The natural beauty on this trip was incredible! Mike our tour guide was knowledgeable and entertaining. We had a great time.
Wow! What a great experience! First we took a fun bus ride through the wilderness to arrive at the lake. Our driver, Brian, gave us a great tour of Ketchikan. When we arrived at the beautiful lake, we got our life vests and boarded our canoe. Our adventure guide, Lillian, was about the coolest guide we’ve had in all of our Alaska adventures. She was knowledgeable, kind, and funny. At the cook camp, we had a delicious snack of bread with salmon spread, salmon chowder cooked over an open fire, coffee, and hot cocoa. We then continued on a short hike through the rain forest. Lillian taught us a lot about the forest plants and geology of the area. We loved our tour!
Was a fun little trip. The Gentleman that drive the bus was Great knew all about the area and town. Lily was our guide across the like, she was a lot of fun and knew the area. Lunch was authentic camping food. Nice easy walk through the rain forest.
