Rainforest Island Nature Walk & Seahawk Adventure

Description

Be sure to read the Special Notes further down this page for important requirements and restriction.

A rainforest walk with a twist, your four-hour adventure starts when you board a motorized inflatable Seahawk, for the short but exciting cruise along the coast of Clover Passage. Along the route you may have the opportunity to observe whales, Steller sea lions, harbor seals, bald eagles and migrating seabirds.

Landing at a secluded beach you will follow your guide through the ancient Tongass National Forest, home to a diverse cross-section of animals including bears, eagles, wolves and trumpeter swans. View the Western red cedars and yellow cedars that early Natives depended on for spiritual enrichment, shelter and transportation. The well-maintained trail is mostly boardwalk and about one mile in length. You'll also enjoy an interactive beach life interpretation by your naturalist guide. After hiking the gently sloped, historic route, enjoy a snack, before the return trip to Ketchikan.
