Wilderness Island UTV Expedition Through Tongass Rainforest

Command a side-by-side UTV through the ancient trails of Chichagof Island's Tongass National Forest — an off-road wilderness journey through old-growth rainforest, coastal meadows, and eagle country.

What to expect

Paired with a co-pilot or guide, you take the wheel of a powerful side-by-side UTV and follow a network of forested trails across Chichagof Island's dramatic terrain. Expect muddy switchbacks through cathedral rainforest, open coastal bluffs where bald eagles ride thermals, and the occasional glimpse of deer or black bear in the undergrowth. Stops for photography and naturalist commentary are built into the route. The combination of off-road thrill and raw Alaskan scenery makes this one of the most viscerally satisfying ways to experience the island.

Good to know

A valid driver's license is required. Minimum age restrictions apply for drivers. Closed-toe shoes and weather-appropriate layers are strongly recommended — Tongass rainforest lives up to its name. Tours depart from the Icy Strait Point adventure hub, steps from the dock. Pre-booking online is advised as vehicle numbers are limited.
