Overview

Come Explore Ketchikan Alaska with the locals.
First, Herring Cove this cove is home to many black bear. Not only do you have the chance to see black bear there are also eagle, harbor seal, and starting in June thousands of salmon running up the creek.
Next, over to a small beach for scenic views. Take a picture in front of a 600 year old Sitka Spruce tree. Plus during the salmon run you will see the fishermen out for the catch of the day.
Last, head even further out of town the Rainbow falls. This waterfall is a beautiful backdrop for photos. After a rain be prepared for water to spray out. if there hasn't been rain you can see the greenery and rocks behind the falls.

All tours are guided by local women. Water, Chips, small candy, and rain ponchos are all provided.
