Overview
Come join us on a stunning 2-hour driving tour in a 4x4 SUV with a small group of up to no more than 7 guests! See where the locals like to play!
You will take a short walk from your cruise pier, to meet your driver and board your SUV. Get ready to experience the beauty of the Tongass National Forest while being chauffeured up a dirt road filled with switchbacks through backcountry vistas of surrounding mountains and valleys.
This tour is led by the owner and operator who knows the natural side of Ketchikan like the back of his hand. Enjoy connecting with him, each other, and the wilderness of Southeast Alaska. Learn about why we need to protect the old-growth forests.
This driving tour is for anyone who is able to climb in and out of a 4x4 SUV and who enjoys leaving the pavement behind for a more backcountry experience.
