About Alaska Travel Adventures
Alaska Travel Adventures is a long-established Southeast Alaska tour operator that runs several of Ketchikan's most popular shore excursions, blending soft-adventure activities with the region's rainforest and wilderness scenery. The company is best known for its Rainforest Canoe & Nature Trail adventure and its Rainforest Zipline Expedition, both set in the lush Tongass National Forest just outside town.
On the canoe trip, guests paddle traditional-style Native canoes across a secluded lake surrounded by old-growth rainforest, then walk an interpretive nature trail with a guide explaining the local ecology, plants and wildlife. The zipline expedition combines a series of ziplines, aerial bridges and a forested course for a higher-adrenaline option, while mountain bike and additional guided tours round out the line-up. Trips are family-friendly and designed to accommodate cruise-ship day visitors.
With decades of operation across multiple Alaskan ports, Alaska Travel Adventures brings professional logistics, trained guides and a polished visitor experience to Ketchikan. Its focus on accessible, well-organised nature tours makes it a strong option for families and first-time visitors who want a taste of the rainforest without a strenuous backcountry commitment.
