KETCHIKAN ALASKA TOURS-PAGE 3
Rainforest Wildlife Sanctuary
PRICE: ADULT: 86.00 / CHILD: 57.00 USD
DURATION: 2 Hours 45 Minutes Approx.
After a coastal drive to the Alaska Rainforest Sanctuary located in the
forested mountains at rustic Herring Cove, meet your naturalist and be
guided along improved trails through the heart of the dense forest,
amongst tall stands of hemlock, spruce and Alaska cedar. Interpretive
stops will be made at strategically located viewing areas.
Your guide will lead you to a protected open estuary where you will follow
Eagle Creek along an elevated wooden trail over grassy wetlands. During
the spawning season bears and seals feed on salmon in Eagle Creek and
the likelihood of viewing animals is good, although not guaranteed. Eagles
and other birds wait for scraps left by the bears and seals in the estuary.
Mink, marten and wolf also frequent the area. Seasonal ecosystem
changes result in varying levels of wildlife activity. At the conclusion of the
approximate half-mile trail hike you will have the opportunity interact with
reindeers before guided through the Herring Bay Lumber Company
sawmill.
View bald eagles up close as an Alaska Wildlife Foundation raptor
specialist explains the heritage and habitat of America's national symbol.
Comfortable walking shoes and warm layered clothing are recommended.
Rain ponchos are provided if needed. This tour operates in all weather
conditions. Wildlife sightings are not guaranteed.

Begin your DUCK adventure with a splash when this unique amphibious
vehicle takes you through the streets of Ketchikan and literally into the
harbor. See Whale Park, the salmon ladder and the Totem Heritage
Center. Stop at Creek Street to learn of Ketchikan's colorful past and salty
beginnings. The DUCK will then drive into Ketchikan's bustling harbor
where you will view local fishing canneries, seaplane docks and
Ketchikan's waterfront community aboard this Coast Guard-certified and
inspected amphibian that doubles as a boat and a bus.

Rainforest Ropes & Zipline Challenge
PRICE: ADULT: 148.00 / CHILD: 148.00 USD
DURATION: 3 Hours 30 Minutes Approx.
From your unique vantage point you will observe the rainforest like eagles
do as they soar over the forest canopy. Your guides will lead you on a short
walk into the forest where you will be outfitted with specialized climbing
gear and receive a safety briefing.
Your first challenge will get you off the ground as you gain confidence in
your belay system on a balance beam. Continue to gain elevation in a
series of challenges as you ascend higher into the trees across a
suspension bridge, traverse a two line bridge, inch across a postman's
walk, cross a swinging log and walk up a Burma bridge to the zip line
platforms. The zip lines will take you over to a tree platform located 65-feet
above the ground nestled into old growth trees. As you finish, head over
to the climbing wall and put your skills and confidence to the test and
ascend the wall, ring the bell and rappel down.
Participants must be at least 11 years old, 56-inches tall, between 70 and
285 pounds and be comfortable with heights. Closed toed shoes are

eco-adventure features a flight over 8 zip lines and 3 aerial bridges via
4,500 feet of high tension cables bordering the Tongass National
Rainforest. Board a 4X4 all-terrain expedition vehicle for a coastal journey
to Herring Cove.
After a safety briefing and equipment outfitting, you will be practicing your
course gear at the orientation camp before moving onto first platform. Your
guides will progressively ease you into the forest canopy along cables
ranging from a short 175-foot to the 850-foot pulse pounding "Ben's
Revenge." During your adventure you will be up to 135 feet above the forest
floor. Experience views from tree platforms and discover a hidden forest
waterfall while crossing over three hanging sky bridges.
The final zip line transports you over lush grassy wetlands to a 55-foot
viewing tower. Descend stairs and gear-down at the base camp, where you
will be presented with a custom cast memento of your achievement.
