ケーブルカートロリーによるトーテム、都市、野生生物

Good people, but the tour goes nowhere...no bears, eagles only in the distance...close to a hatchery, but no tour of it. Sorry, but we were dissapointed to have spent our money on this tour!!

Though the trolly car was not available we went in a van instead however the tour was fabulous. The guide was native Alaskan friendly and knowledgeable. We saw black bear roaming free, breathtaking waterfall ,sea lions and lots of totem poles . A good day was had by all.

Our driver was very engaging, but accepted that it was late in the season. As a result there was very little wildlife to see in the creek he took us to approx 8 miles away. A stop at the totem pole park on the way back was OK, but he couldn't get us into the workshop (which took in other visitors) to see a new totem pole being crafted. Overall, very disappointed.

It was an interesting and informative outing. The guide was personable and didn’t let the drenching rain dampen his mood or get in the way of taking us to the wildlife viewing spots. It was just difficult to get beyond the cold rain and being soaked, even with rain repellent clothing. Can’t control the weather.

This tour consists of driving eight miles in an open air bus. You go to a parking lot next to a bridge, walk 200 yards over the bridge (public road), and then 100 yards up a dead end street. From there you look another couple hundred yards away. You could just take a cab to the dead end road (considerably cheaper and you wouldn’t have to walk). For the first 20 minutes at the dead end, we saw nothing. Jeff, the guide, kept saying that there must be a bear there. He could tell that, not because he could see the bear, but because the people who had paid for the high price tour on the catwalk, were all looking in the same direction with their binoculars and cameras. Eventually, the bear became visible to us – at a distance of 200 yards away. It was a little brown dot from that distance. Jeff appeared to love the sound of his own voice. He talked and talked and talked. If you like that sort of thing, I suppose it adds character. I didn’t find it amusing or particularly interesting.

They drove us 8 miles out of town where we walked on the side of the road to the where the hatchery dumps salmon into the town creek. We stayed there about 45 minutes hoping to see a bear or other wildlife. We saw salmon, a otter in the water and seagulls. We then drove 4 miles back towards town and stopped at a small totem pole park. Stayed there about 15 minutes and then went back. Didn't really get what I would call my moneys worth.

First off, a great shout out to Jo!! She was so helpful, she went above and beyond to help us with a family member getting to the meeting place. We are a family of 6, and we were on a trolly with an older gentleman in a wheelchair with his family. Jeff very good about helping the man in a wheelchair get on and off the trolly. Jeff was awesome! Very knowledgeable and willing to share his knowledge. He took us to a bridge where we saw 3 bears feeding on salmon. It was amazing how many salmon were there. I felt fortunate, because no one can predict if there will be bears or not. On the way back to the trolly we saw several eagles. He was very informative about the totem poles and the stories behind them. We also saw a whale on the way to the bears. Great Experience with great people!

This was good but trolley very crowded for sitting….guide was good and we lucked out with sunny day.

The tour itself was OK. They take you out to the totem pole park, which is a distance from downtown so it would be hard to get there otherwise. We could only look through the window at the woodcarver whereas I saw other groups going inside that building. I guess there’s a price difference on that. The main downside of this tour was the guide himself. I think he was just done for the season. He seemed to lack any enthusiasm for his job and only provided basic information. At the totem park, I could overhear other operators who spoke at length and enthusiastically while describing the totem poles. Stopped and saw an area where the salmon are spawning so that was interesting. We were running short on time to catch another tour so he was amenable to dropping us off quickly.

We were told that this was trolly it was abus that leaked water all over us. They took us to a ran down overpass to look at bears and told us that we would go to main totem area . LIED do not book with them
