Ride the historic Iditarod Trail with ATV Seward’s private tours—an authentic Alaska adventure crossing streams and forest trails with knowledgeable guides and top-notch gear.
Seward, Alaska, a striking gateway to the Kenai Peninsula’s rugged wilderness, offers an ATV experience woven into the historic Iditarod Trail. ATV Seward presents the "Private Tour, The Original - Iditarod Trail Tour," giving visitors hands-on access to one of Alaska’s legendary routes used by mushers during the iconic dogsled race. This isn’t just an off-road ride—it’s a chance to connect with Alaskan history while navigating through forests, water crossings, and authentic trail conditions.
The Kenai Peninsula is renowned for its stark terrain featuring dense spruce forest, river valleys, and glimpses of distant mountain ridges. Riding on these new CanAm quads, guests find themselves crossing streams that highlight the trail’s challenging nature, surrounded by vistas rarely seen from a car or footpath. Along the way, wildlife appearances add to the thrill — expect to spot black bears, moose, and an array of birds common to the region.
