Needs a 10+ rating! - We booked this excursion and the next day I received a text message from Hans thanking us for booking with him. That made us feel good. When we met him at the port he was so friendly and welcoming and made us feel incredibly comfortable. Hans is very knowledgeable of Ketchikan and answered any questions we had. He took videos and photos of us and air dropped them to us! He never made us feel rushed. At the end he even gave us a little gift to remember Ketchikan by! I would highly recommend anyone visiting to book with them! You won’t be disappointed! Thank you Hans!

Best Experience! - Best Experience of our whole trip! We met Bianca in the parking lot near the cruise ship docks. She offered to drive us around and point out the sites. She asked our interests and was able to make recommendations of what to see and do. We had a great tour and were able to experience some of the beautiful sites in Alaska! There is so much more beyond the port. Bianca provided us lots of history and information about the area. We stopped to explore the tide pool, went in search of bear cub and the highlight was our hike up the waterfall! Bianca was enthusiastic and passionate about the area, was quick to point out wild life and escorted a group of middle aged hikers safely up the falls. She took photos and videos of our group to share and remember our trip. I wish she was with us in all of our ports!

Wonderful - Hans was a wonderful tour guide! Very knowledgeable, helpful and attentive. We all enjoyed our tour with him! He tried his best to get us a sighting of a bear fishing — unfortunately only saw a cub romping in the grass.

Fantastic experience - Bianca was a fantastic guide. She is a wealth of knowledge and her enthusiasm and fun loving nature made for an awesome time. Since wildlife (aka the bears) was important for me, she went out of her way to find them! We also hiked a beautiful waterfall and visited the tide pools. We were all sad when time ran out or else we could’ve easily spent the whole day with her! Highly recommend!!!

Best day of our trip! - Bears and waterfall hike were spectacular! Hans was wonderful—our whole family loved him. And we even got to meet his wife, Bianca, who was leading another group. I think we drew the short straw—she was even MORE fun! HIGHLY recommend this tour!

A fab day in Ketchikan. - We had a fantistic day with Bianca from Emerald Forest Tours in Ketchikan. She picked us up promptly at our cruise ship, taking us to multiple stops, pointing out wildlife along the way. She was able to adapt the tour to all members of our multi-generational group, which is no small feat. The highlight of the day for me and my teenage daughter was hiking a waterfall in the Alaskan wilderness.
