Adventure Kart Expedition
Buckle up for this deep woods off-road ATV adventure.
Sit back, strap yourself in, and hit the accelerator for the off-road adventure of a lifetime! You’ll cruise mountain trails through a harvested area of timber. This is the perfect route to your off-road ride. One where you’ll stop and take in spectacular views of the Tongass National Forest, Behm Canal and Alaska’s fabled Inside Passage.
Here’s how your Kart ATV adventure will roll along.
Learn about the history, culture and economy of Ketchikan during a motor coach drive to your starting point. Then you’ll be prepped to take on the rugged Alaskan wilderness from the driver’s seat of a specially designed off-road adventure kart. Highly trained and experienced guides at the Adventure Kart base camp will give you a safety briefing and help you gear up for the exciting, one-and-a-half-hour guided trek. You’ll feel the rush of adrenaline right away when you set out in a custom designed Tomcar that puts your driving ability to the test.
Get Dirty and adventure into Alaska’s wild side.
You and your passenger will set off in a caravan of karts, with your guide in the lead ATV. You’ll be exploring the remote back country of the Tongass National Forest along several miles of improved forest trail. A comfortable pace is maintained as you thread your way through mountainous roads, around steep curves, on the climb to the awe-inspiring views.
Stops will be made along the way to soak up the grandeur and beauty of this lush green land. Drivers and passengers can then switch positions for the return trip. Be on the lookout for wildlife along the way. Eagles, deer or bears are often seen and heard!

We had a blast!
The crew was super friendly and informative. We got good directions and were still able to drive fast and have fun on the karts. We got a good amount of drive time for the price. Thanks Court and Rhianna!
Fun ride!
The guided tour with Matt was great. It was short and sweet and well organized. The weather was gorgeous but the view was a bit fogged in. The waterfall stop was a nice touch. My favorite part was Shadow, the friendly shop dog.
What a Ride!!!
So much fun!!! Our guides Rhianna and Aubrey were quite entertaining!! They did an awesome job!! It was a warm day when we went out, so a bandana was absolutely necessary. They were not lying when they said you get dirty. LOL! It was a blast going up to the look out points, and the view was spectacular!! This was definitely one of the highlights of our stay in Ketchikan!!!
