About this tour

At Herring Cove, watch for black bears, bald eagles, and all five species of salmon. Wildlife sightings are not guaranteed, but the cove offers a chance to experience the region’s natural character. The tour can also stop at Rainbow Falls, a small waterfall that swells after a good rain. When conditions allow, you can climb down to the bottom of the falls.

Your private outing is flexible: choose to linger at a stop or move on sooner. Bottled water, individual bags of chips, small candy, and a rain poncho are provided for the tour and time spent walking around town.

How this score is calculated

This score is based on one provider. Viator rates it 5.00 from 1 review. We place that rating among all Viator ratings and weight it by its review count. If the tour is found on another provider later, both ratings are combined.

How the score works and rating distribution in Ketchikan
  • Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.
  • Listings on different providers are combined in proportion to their review counts.
  • Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
  • The result is shown from 0 to 10: this tour scores 7.1.
