About Our Tours

Embark on an unforgettable Alaskan adventure with WildView Alaska Tours! Our guided tour begins with a scenic van ride to the north end of the island, where we arrive at the Lunch Creek Falls Trailhead. From there, we set out on an easy walk through lush, temperate rainforest, surrounded by towering evergreens and the soothing sounds of nature.​

Along the way, we’ll stop to take in the beauty of Lunch Creek Falls, a cascading waterfall that flows beneath a stunning wooden bridge—perfect for capturing breathtaking photos. As we continue our journey, we descend to the beach, where you'll have time to explore the cove, soak in the coastal views, and search for marine wildlife. Keep your eyes on the water—this is a prime spot for whale watching and observing other incredible sea life in their natural habitat.​

Whether you're a nature enthusiast, an avid hiker, or simply looking to experience the wild beauty of Alaska, our tour offers an intimate, immersive experience into Ketchikan’s untouched wilderness. Join us and discover the magic of the Last Frontier!
