OVERVIEW

Participants must be at least 12 years of age. The Alaska Rain Forest Sanctuary is not exclusive to your tour, it is a multi-use site, so you will encounter guests participating in other tour products and activities. To minimize resource impacts and maximize wildlife viewing opportunities, this tour is available only to small groups and on a limited basis. It is important to note that seasonal ecosystem changes result in varying levels of wildlife activity and there are times when bears will not be present. Please keep this in mind when booking the tour. Operates rain or shine. Wear comfortable walking shoes and warm clothing. The elevated boardwalk can be as high as 15 feet off the ground.

HELPFUL HINTS

• Dress in weather-appropriate clothing.
