Ketchikan Rainforest SUV Adventure

Come along for a scenic drive in a 4x4 SUV in a small group of no more than 6 guests. Explore the stunning scenery of the Tongass National Forest as you are driven along a rugged dirt road, winding through breathtaking mountain and valley views.

Our tour commences with a northbound 20-minute drive from town, immersing guests in nature's grandeur. Buckle up for an adrenaline-fueled ride on switchback-filled trails as your SUV traverses 25 minutes on a rugged mountain road through the Tongass National Forest. You'll encounter panoramic backcountry vistas of towering mountains and lush valleys that will leave you breathless.

Don't forget to capture the majestic scenery with a 5-minute photo opportunity, providing a lasting memory of this incomparable wilderness. Afterwards, we reverse our tracks, spending another 25 minutes navigating our way back through the enchanting forest, further enhancing your connection with this unique ecosystem.

The adventure continues with a 15-minute detour to a tranquil lake nestled amidst the Tongass National Forest. After soaking in the serene ambiance, we return to the main road for the homeward journey. We prioritize your comfort and convenience, allocating a moderate amount of flex time for any unforeseen traffic, restroom breaks, or delays.

Our journey concludes with a 20-minute drive back to the bustling downtown, dropping you off at the cruise ship terminal in the heart of our charming cruise port town of Ketchikan. You'll depart not only with a richer understanding of the need to safeguard our precious old-growth forests but also with memories and experiences that will last a lifetime.
