Finding My Grandmother's Voice In Ketchikan With Sharon Brooks - Thank you so much for the amazing time Sharon! I really enjoyed learning about the Totem's in Totem Bight and their connection to your family. I also loved all the pearls of ancestral wisdom sprinkled throughout the tour such as fearing the land otter, knowing to be more cautious of bears when the skunk cabbage is out, and all the insights of new learning about the historical practices of carving, preserving and returning the Totem's to the Earth. Your patience as our group would stop and talk and share, allowing us time for visiting and then picking up where you left off before we left helped me really enjoy my short visit - the pacing felt perfect. Loved the rich stories and learning of the cultural practices such as how the ceremonial house was used and that the family walked behind the Matriach - love it! This trip has been powerfully healing to me. If I were to capture a headline for this trip, it came from Sharon. "Finding my grandmother's voice," she shared, was a concept meaning really finding that deep connection to your roots, to who you are, discovering your inner wisdom. Wow. So powerful, and to return to my childhood home, so many memories - some good, some bad, so fortunate to have spent my extremely brief visit with Sharon. Her warmth, passion for learning and teaching about her culture really shines through. Sharon has such a wealth of knowledge about the Native culture, plants, wildlife and the Ocean. Sharon is a true Alaskan gem, one of the wise leaders among the indigenous Natives of Ketchikan, taking great pride and joy in teaching the culture as a way of preserving and protecting their history and cultural practices. Along with the wisdom from her elders, she shares new insights from what they are learning now about the history and restoration of these magnificent totems. I could listen to her share all day long! Thank you so much for making this trip so special Sharon!

Must See! - Kevin was amazing. We learned so much about the area and customs. The views were beautiful. I would highly recommend this tour. It was the best one we have during our stay in Alaska.

Great Totem and Rainforest Tour! - Seeing the totem poles and receiving expert information on their history was very useful. The sights were beautiful and the walk through the rainforest wonderful. Ketchikan background was excellent. The tour guide was top notch in showing us the best sights and was very knowledgeable and engaging.

Couple tour - I really enjoyed this tour. The walk was very easy and the totem poles were beautiful. I really enjoyed this tour and would do it again.

Back to nature 🌲🌳🌿🪵🦅 - If you want to get back to nature, this is a wonderful trip and I would definitely recommend. The weather was lovely and so it was fantastic walking through the rainforest and the guide vocalising the history on such a sunny day. Bight park has lots of original totem poles and you receive all the history including their life span, very interesting. You can do a lot of walking, however I fell within the public community building hence for me it put a bit of a downer on it (hurt my leg and knee). This is something the whole family can do if you like being one with nature 😍

Great tour with guide Issac! - We had a little hiccup at beginning but quickly rectified with a private tour as we were the only ones.

Very disappointing - Tour guide never showed up. He finally returned my phone call and said Viator never booked my tour. Viator is refunding my money but the real loss is the few hours I was in Ketchikan and not able to do a tour. Next time I'll use the cruise ship tours.
