Recommended for the outdoorsman. If you aren't into scenery, forests, wildlife, history of the area of Ketchican-- then this isn't for you. BUT if you are looking for something beyond the tourist norm, you will enjoy the drive into Tongass Forest. The guide loves the area, loves his job, and is very personable and knowledgeable...we loved the tour

Great guide. Took us to some truly beautiful vantage points. We were able to see deer and even a bear. Very knowledgeable and would highly recommend.
