Overview

Explore a side of Ketchikan most visitors never see as you venture deep into the remote backcountry of the Tongass National Forest. This tour combines rugged off‑roading with some of the most dramatic rainforest and ocean views in Southeast Alaska. Your Polaris RZR XP 1000 takes you along a 14‑mile mountain trail carved through towering trees, steep curves, and high‑elevation overlooks with sweeping views of Behm Canal and the Inside Passage.

Unlike typical sightseeing tours, this experience puts you in the driver’s seat — literally — offering real adventure, real terrain, and the chance to get muddy, wet, and fully immersed in the wild. With experienced guides leading the way and sharing local insight, you’ll discover the raw beauty of the Tongass in a way that’s thrilling, authentic, and unforgettable.

Must be at least 18 years with a valid drivers license and be atleast 57 inches tall to drive, per Alaska State Law.*

What To Expect

Navigate winding dirt roads, climb through dense rainforest, and stop at panoramic overlooks with sweeping views of Behm Canal, the Inside Passage, and Alaska’s iconic wilderness.

Along the way, watch for eagles, bears, deer, and other wildlife that call the Tongass home. Your guide sets a comfortable pace, ensures safety, and shares local insight at the stopping points.
