It the tide is right, we can look for tide pool creatures. The view out over Nichols passage makes for the perfect photo opportunity. This is also a great spot to scan for wildlife (not guaranteed).

Our guide might even share a story of running around the hatchery as a kid. This sight is an excellent spot to look for eagles and other wildlife (not guaranteed).
  • Ketchikan - Our last stop is at amazing waterfall that is just a few steps off the road. This stop also puts you into the heart of the rainforest here in Ketchikan. If it is in season, you might even get to see our amazing salmon berries in bloom.
