Itinéraire
La visite commence par un tour panoramique en van à l'extrémité nord de l'île, où nous arrivons au début du sentier de Lunch Creek Falls. De là, nous partons pour une promenade facile à travers une forêt tropicale tempérée et luxuriante, entourée d'imposants arbres persistants et des sons apaisants de la nature. En chemin, nous nous arrêterons pour admirer la beauté de Lunch Creek Falls, une cascade qui coule sous un superbe pont en bois – parfait pour capturer des photos à couper le souffle. Alors que nous continuons notre voyage, nous randonnons le long du sentier de Lunch Falls pour une incroyable boucle d'un kilomètre à travers la forêt tropicale, puis descendons jusqu'à la plage, où vous aurez le temps d'explorer la crique, de profiter de la vue sur la côte et de rechercher la faune marine. Gardez les yeux sur l'eau, c'est un endroit privilégié pour observer les baleines et observer d'autres espèces marines incroyables dans leur habitat naturel.

What an amazing experience!! Jordan was so knowledgeable and friendly. His passion for this space is contagious. The scenery was spectacular and he went at our pace, answering all of our questions. This was just right for our family (kids 11 & 13 , average hiking experience). It was pouring in Ketchikan, but you could only feel a drizzle in the rainforest. We felt completely alone almost the whole time, even though there were two other tour cars there. We wanted a local, small-feel experience instead of a big cruise tour and this was perfect. We loved the beautiful plants and we followed evidence of a very recent bear visit, but never saw him. The beach was beautiful and seals were watching us. I loved this experience and would recommend it to anyone!!
Jordan was an excellent guide; very knowledgeable. It is not too strenuous, and you get to see the forest and the ocean.
The hike was an incredible opportunity to immerse yourself into the beautiful landscape that Alaska has to offer. Jordan was a kind, courteous guide with a wealth of knowledge. Glad we did this!
We so enjoyed our hike through the Tongass National Forest & beach area. After our cruise ship left Ketchikan, we heard several people complain about how touristy/crowded the main town was - while we enjoyed our short time exploring Creek Street on our own, we felt lucky that we had the opportunity to get further out & enjoy the natural scenery on this excursion. Evidently they only authorize a limited number of guides to take tours out at this site, so we had it mostly to ourselves. The area is breathtaking & our guide, Jordan, was super knowledgeable & clearly very passionate about his work. He pointed out signs of wildlife in the forest & found us some marine life on the beach since it was low tide (starfish, anemones & urchins). Jordan was also happy to take pictures of everyone. One thing I will note - the hike was a little more strenuous than I expected. There were lots of stairs, narrow walkways, etc. My husband & I were good, but it is worth noting if you have trouble with mobility or stairs.
guide was very knowledgeable. rain firest is unique to this area. hike is more difficult than easy, maybe medium
Thank you for your review and for your comments about the guide's knowledge and Alaska's unique rainforest. Our tour follows well-maintained trails with a relaxed pace, and the vast majority of guests find the hike to be easy to moderate. That said, perceptions of trail difficulty can vary from person to person depending on fitness level, mobility, and prior hiking experience. We're glad you enjoyed learning about the rainforest and appreciate you taking the time to share your experience.
We had a great time. Jordan was extremely knowledgeable and made sure to get all of the pictures we wanted.

I did this tour with my 75 year old mother and my 7 year old child. The hike through the forest had mostly gentle inclines and declines, and stairs to help with the steeper parts. Our guide, Jordan, was so patient with everyone's physical limitations and used rest stops as an opportunity to teach about our surroundings. He was extremely knowledgeable about the flora, fauna, and history of the area. He pointed out things that I never would have noticed with my untrained eyes - such as the way the ancient cedars nursed new trees or the teeny, tiny orchids along the trail. It really gave me a deeper appreciation for the unique ecosystem in the area. He answered my 7-year-old's (many, many) questions with enthusiasm. We really had a great time on the hike, learned a lot, and saw some truly breathtaking scenery. I would repeat this tour again in the future without hesitation. Thank you, Jordan, for such a fun, memorable experience!

This was a great experience! I ended up with a small group of myself and a another couple. Jordan was super informative and had a ton of knowledge he shared. We had time to walk and stop and talk about things we saw and ask questions. I'm so glad I picked this experience!!
