Description

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.*

Amanda Shared the Heart and Soul of Alaska With Us

Our day with Ketchikan Expeditions LLC was truly one of the most special experiences of our entire trip to Alaska, and we feel so lucky that Amanda was our guide. From the moment we met her, she made us feel comfortable, welcome, and excited to experience Alaska through her eyes. Amanda was so much more than a tour guide. She shared her incredible knowledge of the area, but what made the day so meaningful were the personal stories and experiences she shared along the way. Everything she told us seemed to connect perfectly with what we were seeing. She brought the history, culture, people, and natural beauty of Ketchikan to life in a way that we will remember for a very long time. She taught us about local legends, the beautiful flowers and berries growing around us, and their traditional and medicinal importance to the Native Alaskan people. She shared stories about how people in the area have lived and continue to live, and she gave us a genuine glimpse into the joys of calling Alaska home. Her love for Alaska was obvious, and that love was contagious. And what a day she gave us! We were fortunate enough to see a bear, eagles, salmon, waterfalls, totem poles, and the Heritage Museum. Every stop was memorable, but having Amanda there to explain what we were seeing and share her stories made each experience so much more special. There were moments when we found ourselves simply taking everything in and thinking, "Wow, we are really in Alaska!" Amanda somehow made those moments even more meaningful. She didn't just show us the sights—she helped us understand and appreciate the place, the people, and the history behind them. By the end of the day, it honestly felt like we had spent the day with someone who genuinely cared about making our experience special. Amanda's warmth, knowledge, humor, and personal stories made our time with her feel incredibly genuine. Our day with Amanda was the highlight of our entire trip, and when we look back on our Alaska adventure, we know it will be one of the memories we talk about for years to come. If you are visiting Ketchikan, we wholeheartedly recommend Ketchikan Expeditions LLC—and if you have the opportunity to have Amanda as your guide, consider yourself very fortunate. She gave us a day we will never forget and a much deeper appreciation for the beautiful place she is lucky enough to call home. Thank you, Amanda, for sharing your Alaska with us and for making our day so incredibly special! ❤️ Cheryle and Chuck Huttemann 09/03/2026

Operator response

We’re grateful you chose to explore with us and even more grateful that Amanda helped bring the Tongass to life in such a personal way. We’ll be sure to share your kind words with her. Thank you again for adventuring with us, and we hope the memories you made here stay with you for years to come 💚🌲

Unforgettable off-road adventure

Our guide Sadott Corona was awesome! We were welcomed warmly and he made the joyride through the forests an unforgettable experience. The vehicles are very suitable for off-road tours. The views from the platforms are breathtaking. We will not forget today and the fast-paced thrill for a long time. Sadott guided us safely through the streets and does his job great. If you are lucky, there are not many vehicles out together and you can also step on the gas a little. Of course, safety comes first.

Operator response

Vielen Dank für eure Adventure Kart Expedition in Ketchikan! Es freut uns riesig zu hören, dass ihr ein unvergessliches Offroad‑Abenteuer hattet. Sadott wird begeistert sein — eure Worte treffen genau das, was ihn als Guide ausmacht: herzlich, engagiert und voller Energie 🌲💚 Die Karts sind wie gemacht für diese Trails, und wenn der Wald nass, wild und lebendig ist, wird die Fahrt zu einem echten Highlight. Die Aussicht von den Plattformen ist jedes Mal atemberaubend, und wir lieben es zu hören, dass dieser Tag euch lange in Erinnerung bleiben wird ⛰️🔥 Dass ihr euch sicher gefühlt habt und gleichzeitig den Nervenkitzel genießen konntet, bedeutet uns viel. Und ja — wenn die Gruppe klein ist, macht es gleich doppelt Spaß, ein bisschen mehr Gas zu geben (natürlich immer mit Sicherheit an erster Stelle)!
