Ketchikan Rainforest Island and Boat Adventure
Overview
A motorized rigid hull inflatable Seahawk provides a short, but exciting cruise along the coast of Clover Passage where whales, sea lions, seals, porpoise, bald eagles and migrating seabirds may be spotted. Join your naturalist guide on a secluded beach in the Tongass National Forest, for a walk through natural, unspoiled beauty in the coastal rainforest on Betton Island. Hike through the beautiful old growth forest, and learn about botanic species native to this region.
Enjoy an Alaskan snack at a campfire and take some time to explore tide pools or other interesting elements of the natural beauty around you before returning.
