After relaxing aboard your ship, this off-road Ketchikan shore excursion will pump up your adrenaline. First, steer or ride in a 4WD Jeep Wrangler® deep in Tongass National Forest. Then, at Lake Harriet Hunt, paddle with your group a Native American–style, 20-person canoe! Keep watch for deer, moose, eagles and even bears along the way. Reward your outdoor activities with a delicious snack of smoked salmon, clam chowder, fresh bread with local wild-berry jam, and hot chocolate.
For the Jeep® portion of this safari adventure, you will join up to three other guests, with plenty of opportunities to change drivers for those who want to get behind the wheel! While you traverse the mountain roads of the Tongass National Forest, your guide provides you with interesting and informative commentary using a two-way radio. You’ll be fascinated by the area’s natural history as you pass through old growth and new growth forests and stop for magnificent views and photo opportunities along the way.

The Jeep® portion of your tour concludes with your arrival at Lake Harriet Hunt. Here, you’ll experience a unique ecosystem from the vantage point of a 37-foot, Alaska Native-style canoe. These traditional Alaskan canoes are fast, stable, and easy to maneuver. Once on the other side of the lake, your expert guide will lead you to a camp on shore where an Alaskan snack awaits. Next, your guide will interpret the features of the temperate rainforest on a nature walk through the old-growth forest. Your excursion concludes with a scenic motor coach drive back to the pier.
