The Top 8 Adventure Tours in Ketchikan

Whether you’re a tried and tested adventurer, or you’ve decided to step outside your comfort zone, a Ketchikan adventure tour will be an exciting and memorable way to mark your vacation! The Ketchikan region of southeastern Alaska is made up of islands - some large, some tiny - that are covered in tall Sitka spruces and hemlock trees, creating the ideal backdrop for off-road exploration. Check out our tours and we’re sure you’ll find one to fit your interests! 

Step into your 4x4 Jeep Wrangler and get ready for an adventure of epic proportions on the Backcountry Jeep and Canoe Safari! You’re in control as you wind your way along the forest-backed trails of the Tongass National Forest. An expert guide will lead the way, sharing interesting snippets about the plants and animals you see en route. A paddling adventure in a 20-person canoe and a guided rainforest hike will follow before you end your trip with a hearty snack - perfect after an exhilarating day of physical exertion!

The Adventure Karts Expedition is an offroading enthusiast’s ideal tour! Speed a 4x4 Polaris vehicle through the atmospheric rainforest surrounding Ketchikan, hearing the roar of the engine as you watch the beautiful landscape flying past, catching sight of animals in their natural habitat. You can get a feel for just how remote you are by killing the engines and listening to the sounds of the wilderness, with birdcall and the breeze in the trees the only sounds you can hear for miles! 

Don’t worry if you’re feeling a little apprehensive about joining a Ketchikan adventure tour - nerves are all a part of the fun! But if you do have specific questions, feel free to contact our friendly team members, who will be happy to answer them.
