I didn’t go on the tour but I went on this hike. I’m sure the tour was fun but it was also great just to chill and do my own hike at my pace

Had an excellent tour with our guide, Patrick. Very knowledgeable about the area, the rainforest, and the mushrooms and berries along the trailer. I would highly recommend Wild Wolf to others.

Fantastic tour!
Theresag65, September 2026
We loved this tour and Brock was a fantastic guide! His knowledge of the rain forest was amazing, he took the time to explain everything, and answered the ton of questions we had. We saw a bear looking for salmon and seals bobbing in the water. The totem park was great and the information Brock provided and stories he told enhanced our visit! It was truly a great experience. Be sure to request Brock if you take this tour!

Nice tour with a great guide
rainerk853, September 2026
In a small group of 9 people, we visited the rainforest. The forest itself, the view from the beach into the Alaskan wilderness, and then observing a black bear from up close—an overall magnificent experience.
Our authentic guide Brock Goodrick knew every plant in the forest and also conveyed tons of information about the land and its people with its unique characteristics.
We were thrilled and can only recommend this offer.
