Located at the banks of Herring Cove in Ketchikan,
Alaska Rainforest Sanctuary borders the magnificent Tongass National
Rainforest. Our guests enjoy walking through the rainforest and
leaning about the plants and trees surrounding them. They explore
the estuary over the boardwalk where variety of wildlife lingers
during the salmon season. Across the boardwalk is the Whittman
Hatchery where four different types of pacific salmon runs to lay
their eggs and end their life cycle. The Sanctuary is also home
for Alaska Reindeer which our guests can interact and feed these
gentle creatures. The Old Sawmill bring the memories of an era
were logs were cut and shaped here. At the Interpretive Center,
guests can view the exhibits and lean more about the rainforest
and wildlife of Southeast Alaska. From Alaska Rainforest Sanctuary
