Great wildlife and sites tour!
This was a fantastic tour! We were lucky enough to have Bianca as our tour guide, and we couldn’t be happier. She knew everything and everywhere to go, plenty of and history, tons of wildlife spotting, great hikes… if you do book with them, you will not be disappointed. It was a great 3.5 hour tour of what little time we had on the island. Thanks again! Rob, Nadia, Alice, Evan, Lizzy…

Hike the Tongass with Leanne!
We had the best time with Leanne! We met right at the cruise dock and she brought us back downtown after a beautiful hike through the Tongass National Forest. She is so passionate about her job, and it really made the whole experience special. We learned so much about the local plants and animals just by chatting along the way. It truly felt like our custom adventure, not just a cookie-cutter tour. This is exactly the kind of experience you hope for when you book a guide.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for sharing this — Leanne will be thrilled to hear it. We’re glad the hike, the forest, and all the plant‑and‑wildlife moments made the day feel like your adventure. That’s exactly the kind of experience we want every guest to have. We appreciate you choosing us for your time in Ketchikan.

Why this scores 51
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Rainforest Hiking Tour: Private Tour. Up to 11 guests!: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Ketchikan.
How much does Rainforest Hiking Tour: Private Tour. Up to 11 guests! cost?
+
Prices start at $795 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Ketchikan usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Rainforest Hiking Tour: Private Tour. Up to 11 guests! take?
+
Plan for about 3 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Ketchikan is not rushed.
Is Rainforest Hiking Tour: Private Tour. Up to 11 guests! worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 51 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 2 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Ketchikan, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Rainforest Hiking Tour: Private Tour. Up to 11 guests!?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Rainforest Hiking Tour: Private Tour. Up to 11 guests! suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Rainforest Hiking Tour: Private Tour. Up to 11 guests!?
+
Around 1 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Ketchikan can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Ketchikan and add a light layer if any part of the 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Rainforest Hiking Tour: Private Tour. Up to 11 guests! start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Ketchikan within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Ketchikan?
+
Ketchikan runs short, cruise-timed excursions: Misty Fjords floatplane flights, Tongass rainforest zip lines, totem park tours, crab feasts and wildlife boats up the Behm Canal. On Outty we rank every Ketchikan experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Ketchikan Kayak Eco-Tour, Off the Beaten Path Ketchikan Photo Safari - 3 hr., Ketchikan Shore Excursion: Rainforest Canopy Ropes and Zipline Adventure Park. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Ketchikan?
+
May to September, matching the Alaska cruise season. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Ketchikan?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
