My wife and I were expecting a leisure ride through the forest. Well our guide let us really experience the carts. I noticed speeds as high as 35 MPH on my cart. It was extremely wet and muddy. It was a blast!!!
Just bring your own rain gear if you don’t want to get muddy!!!

Absolutely fantastic time with Elijah and our ride. I can’t tell you how awesome it was to ride in the rain and through the puddles!!
I am new to driving these types of vehicles and my husband did the first part and I did the second leg and it was amazing!!! It was so worth the time and the only part was the views were not great because of the rain but the rain made the ride amazing!!! Do it!

I would absolutely recommend going with Adventure Karts when picking a tour in Ketchikan. They have a very friendly staff that are super knowledgeable about the area. Liz was super easy to find on the dock! She was be-bopping around with the sign, making it super easy to find, as well as hyping us up on the adventure of a lifetime that we were about to go on.
Once we got out to Adventure Karts, we had a blast. We did have to watch the safety video twice, which was alright but felt overstated and disingenuous when you watch it more than one time (I feel for the employees that have to watch it multiple times a day, day in and day out). Then we got to go drive the Karts, and it was so fun! I'm glad that we went on a day where it had rained the previous night. There were so many puddles and potholes, and we definitely got super muddy! It was a blast! Laughing and big smiles all around. Our guide Sam knew so much about the area, it was crazy! He had so many fun stories to tell about being in the wilderness! I did get a little hungry on the trail, so make sure to bring snacks if you plan on going on this adventure.
