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!

Stop debating and just do it!

Luckily the day we did the Kart expedition it had been raining which made the adventure so much more fun! We had a small group so we were able to get through the trail faster and were able to go through the big puddle and "get dirty!" Our guides were Rihanna and Aubrey and they were super knowledgeable and were able to answer any of the questions!

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.

Great day outdoors – I recommend

The drive to the location was great. The driver answered lots of questions about the local town. We put on weather proof clothing provided and loaded up in the karts. Driving the karts was easy and a blast. I was the passenger, my husband drove, and we smiled and laughed nearly the entire time. We drove about 20 minutes out, stopped, and were blessed enough to see a mother bear and her two cubs. We walked to a waterfall, about a two minute walk, and then drove twenty minutes back. The con to this would be the length of time in the karts, wish it were longer, but that being said, we would have done it all again. it was a fantastic day. My mother in law has very limited mobility, but even for her, this was a great day.
