The Top 3 Off-Road Tours in Ketchikan

Do you have a need for speed? Do you love the roar of an engine coming to life and the promise of a thrilling ride that it brings? Then, we’d recommend a Ketchikan off-road tour for you! These excursions are great for adrenaline junkies, as the action is non-stop. It’s one of the most exciting ways to experience the beauty of the Ketchikan region, which is largely covered in dense forest. You’ll also see plentiful animals and interesting plants - including a carnivorous species! 

If you’d like to combine a Jeep adventure with paddling a canoe and a fascinating nature hike, then the Backcountry Jeep and Canoe Safari will be ideal. Get behind the wheel of a cute Jeep Wrangler and weave your way through the winding trails of the Tongass National Forest, communicating with your guide via two-way radio. This is thrill-a-minute stuff, so by the time you reach your second activity, your heart will be pumping! Next up, paddle a traditional 20-person canoe on the mirror-still lake, surrounded by Sitka spruce and hemlock trees and snow-capped peaks. Finish up with a narrated nature hike and you’ll be ready to return to your cruise ship for a well-deserved rest!

The Adventure Karts Expedition is the perfect choice for explorers seeking a fast-paced, fun - and often muddy! - off-road experience. Get kitted up in waterproof gear before setting off for an exhilarating ride in a 4x4 kart, venturing deep into the Tongass Forest’s trails, and taking in views over the nearby islands and waterways of the Inside Passage. Perfection!
