Your adventure begins with a scenic motorcoach tour to a secluded mountain lake, where you'll board an Indian-style 37 foot, 20 passenger canoes which are fast, stable and easy to maneuver. Paddle under the direction of an experienced guide, scan the shore for wildlife and learn the unique natural and Indian history of the Ketchikan area.

Drive a four-wheel drive automatic Jeep Wrangler along mountainous roads through Tongass National Forest. The safari travels from sea level to the sub-alpine region of this unique coastal island. Learn about the area's natural history as you drive abandoned logging roads. Along the way, you’ll make a stop to take advantage of photo opportunities and to rotate drivers so everyone has a turn at the wheel.
