This was wonderful tour. Aiden, our tour guide, was clearly very passionate about nature and the rainforest. He was super knowledgeable and accommodated a tour ranging from very young children to very seasoned travelers. Great job!
Had an excellent time walking around the area. The area seemed well designed with some super interesting resources. Our guide Betts was super well informed and very charismatic. He really helped elevate the experience with lots of cool and relevant information. I really felt like he had a passion for the nature. Next time I'm in the area I'll make it a point to visit this place again.
Camille was a great guide she made the experience educational and fun for the group!

My husband and I had a great time on this shore excursion during our cruise to Alaska. Our tour guide, Chloe, was very knowledgeable about all of the plants, insects, and wildlife in the rainforest. She was very funny too! We had a great close up view of a bald eagle in a tree, and then it was joined by another and they both flew right past us. The totem carver was on break when we were there which was a little disappointing, but other than that it was a good tour.

Our tour guide Betts was the absolute best. Very knowledgeable. Felt the tour was more like a botany/taxonomy 101 course. Learned a ton. Dude got me to lick the banana slug………. Twice. Overall a great time.
