Totem Bight Park and Rainforest Canoe Trip
Your journey begins with a visit to Totem Bight State Historical Park, a stunning site featuring ancient totem poles set against a lush rainforest backdrop. Explore the restored and re-carved totems, the rocky coastline of the Tongass Narrows, and the Clan House, a beautifully painted community house where Alaska Native traditions come to life.
Along the way, learn about the deep cultural significance of these impressive works of art and the role they played in Southeast Alaska's Indigenous heritage.
Next, travel to Lake Harriet Hunt for a traditional canoeing experience. Board a stable, 15-passenger canoe, much like those used by Indigenous communities to navigate Alaska's coastal waterways.
Upon reaching shore, your guide will lead you to a wilderness camp, where a delicious Alaskan snack awaits. Afterward, join your guide on an optional nature walk through the old-growth forest, where you'll learn about the unique flora and fauna of the temperate rainforest.
Duration: 4 hours
Seasonally Offered - This experience is available from April 1st to October 31st.
