For our Ketchikan day I had arranged a private shore excursion Nature tour with Wild Wolf Tours. This was the 2nd time I had used her services. With no hesitation at all I recommend future cruisers book a tour with Tracy Wild's company. She is great. She was not able to be our driver/guide today but promised that Zach would be excellent. He was!
We visited a tide pool, did a hike in part of the rainforest, saw truly wonderful waterfall, and payed at Herring Cove took for bears. No bears today, or whales, but we saw Stellar Blue Jays, and eagles.
Wild Wolf Tours has additional tours available. Of course they guarantee they will get visitors back to the ship in time.
