Old Growth forest trek, historical perspective and current status of logging and its impact - Teague was the perfect guide. Knowledgeable, friendly, thoughtful, helpful. We did a hike through the old growth area, and Teague gave us a good sense of history and of current ecological concerns. This was probably our best tour ( and we did lots!)

Wonderful Rainforest hike! - Our cruise ship docked at berth 4 which was just a short walk to meet Teague for transportation. Very easy to meet up. It was a beautiful day for a hike! Teague was very knowledgeable and added to the experience with information about the local flora and fauna. We had a wonderful time. Thanks Teague! Highly recommend this hike with Teague!

Amazing views with a great guide - This was a great experience and hike through an old growth forest. We loved seeing the creek and ocean views.

Highly recommended - Our guide/company owner Teague was great! Knowledgeable about the area and hit the right balance of conversation, commentary, making sure people were OK without hovering, etc. Quite the character and thoroughly enjoyed the day. Even my husband who's not into hiking had fun. Pickup was on time and communicated ahead of time to clarify the pickup point. The hike was magical as described. Loved the nooks and crannies and natural art that gave a vibe of The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe.

Peaceful, gorgeous walk through the woods - Fantastic walk through the woods with our guide Teague. Our family of five (kids 14 and 12) enjoyed learning about the local wildlife. This tour felt so quiet and personal after a busy morning exploring downtown. We all absolutely loved it and would recommend it to anyone visiting Ketchikan.

Wonderful afternoon hike! - My husband and I had a great afternoon hike with Teague! He’s a very patient and informative guide. The forest was beautiful. We highly recommend the Ketchikan Old Growth Creek Trek if you are visiting the area.

GREAT day on the Magical Old-Growth Creek Trek - Last week my hubby and I enjoyed one of our best days hiking in nature. We were guided by Tongass Teague LLC. Teague was our professional, friendly and gentle-souled hiking guide. He showed us the awesomeness of Ketchikan's natural wonders along the Old Growth Creek hiking trail. Something amazing happened; nature was patiently waiting to share with us her lushness and her harmonious musical sounds that occur between flora and fauna. It's all there, waiting for you, too. The only thing that is asked of us, is to be still, be present and be open to take in the splendor of nature. HIGHLY RECOMMEND. This is a great hike for multi-generations
