Description

Be sure to read the Special Notes further down this page for important requirements and restriction.

Explore the Alaska Rainforest Sanctuary, a private reserve at scenic Herring Cove. A guided walking tour leads through tall stands of cedar, spruce and hemlock to a wetland estuary. Watch for bears and seals that feed on spawning salmon, in season. On-site experiences include seeing bald eagles up close, touring the historic Herring Bay Lumber Company saw mill, and exploring the totem park and General Store. Later, drive to the rustic yet elegant George Inlet Lodge for a feast of all-you-can-eat succulent Dungeness crab with butter! Rounding out the menu are a fresh salad and a scrumptious blueberry cheesecake dessert and it's topped off with a rowdy Crab Shell Stacking Competition. The return drive showcases charming Ketchikan and its dramatic mountain, forest and coastal scenery.

Special Notes:

Participants should be able to cover 1/2 mile of terrain. Wildlife sightings are common but not guaranteed. Dress warmly in layers and wear comfortable shoes with good traction. Vegetarian and non-crab options may be substituted. There are numerous steps to negotiate at the lodge, but van rides are available to those who want to eliminate this portion. Tour order may vary. Tour operates in all weather conditions. Rain ponchos are available for purchase.

Meal: All-you-can-eat Dungeness crab, salad and cheesecake with blueberry topping. Complimentary soda, coffee and tea. One glass of beer or wine is complimentary; additional glasses are available at additional cost.

Unaccompanied Minor Policy: Children under the age of 18 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian.
