Backcountry Jeep & Canoe Safari with Alaska Travel Adventures in Juneau

Juneau, Alaska, stands as a rugged paradise where towering mountains meet dense rainforests and shimmering lakes. Alaska Travel Adventures’ Backcountry Jeep & Canoe Safari offers a compelling window into this wild landscape, blending thrill with tranquility over a four-hour journey. Starting with a spirited off-road drive in a Jeep Wrangler®, participants navigate rugged mountain trails, where the scent of pine and the crunch of gravel under tires create a visceral sense of adventure. The route weaves through lush rainforest, revealing glimpses of moss-draped alders, sitka spruces, and the occasional sighting of local wildlife like black bears or bald eagles soaring overhead.

The tour continues on Lake Harriet Hunt, where paddling a traditional Alaskan canoe immerses visitors in the lake’s mirror-like waters. Surrounded by towering peaks reflected on the surface, paddlers may glimpse otters or moose wading along the shoreline. A guided walk offers another chance to encounter the area's flora and fauna more intimately, with seasonal blooms and birdlife adding vibrancy to the experience.

Adding to the trip’s authenticity, local snacks provide fuel and a taste of the region’s bounty.
