Island Explorer ATV Tour

Had a great time with their ATV’s seeing the Alaska wilderness! Easy to rent, awesome staff. Set us up w/ 2 GPS units (screen and emergency call). Had several GPS prepared routes preloaded, ready to go and easy to follow. Maximized fun time w/o being late for return. They even cleaned the Alaska dust off of us upon return! Perfect.

We had a great time on our ATV Tour in Hoonah. Communication was excellent and Joe was great. The machines were in great condition and we had perfect weather for scenery and animal observing. We only saw one bear, but it was a big one. We would definitely do this tour again when visiting Hoonah.

We highly recommend Hoonah ATV tours for anyone considering this! We looked at ATV excursions through our cruise line. What they offered looked like a follow the leader situation and so do the Jeep tours. I found a video of someone on that ATV excursion and it confirmed that it was in fact a boring follow the leader situation. Hoonah ATV Tours asks you what you would like to see, and they set up a GPS to take you there. You drive yourself and you can get out and walk around any time you choose. You have a set time you need to be back but can explore as you wish. We ran low on time and did not complete the route due to driving slower than we probably should have but we enjoyed it none the less. We ran late due to not realizing how far of a walk it would be from the cruise dock. They still honored our reservation and offered to come find us but by the time we got cell service we were close to their location. We appreciated that they offered though, and that they were extra helpful! We found out afterwards that there is a shuttle from the port to the town and back that the drop off is right next to Hoonah ATV Tours. Honnah ATV Tours took their time explaining everything and ensure you are comfortable before setting off. They provide bear spray and emergency location devices which helped us feel safe! We were not prepared and needed to buy water before we set off. They gave us extra time to go to the store and buy water. The ATV ran great, and we enjoyed the freedom and quietness of this excursion. We only came across one other ATV while out on our tour! This was very nice because after so many places being cramped with people from the cruise lines it was nice to be alone with nature. The areas to explore that they recommended were great and we saw plenty of wildlife out and about! We have dear in our hometown but coming across one on the tour was still a great sight too! We have another cruise planned in the future and will definitely do this excursion again, and possibly go longer if possible!

The people working here are great to work with and helpful. They provided all of the equipment we needed in case we were lost or ran into a hungry bear. They directed us to a location that had bears earlier in the day but we didn't see any while we were there. After we rented, we realized we could have gone to the same place with one of the tour companies for quite a bit less than we paid to rent the vehicle.

We had such a great time thanks to Joe! He was really chill and kind. Explained everything well and helped us pick the right path and package for our group without an ounce of “upselling” or any kind of pressure. The atv’s were so nice, in great shape and handled great. Thank you so much!

We didn’t have any plans when we arrived in Hoonah so we were excited to find the opportunity to rent a SxS. Luckily they had an open slot. While we didn’t see any bears we did see several bald eagles and got beautiful views of the water at low tide. The team is super nice, explained everything, no issues. If you’re going to spend money in Hoonah, do it exploring away from the crowds at the dock.

Joe was fantastic and rented us a great brand new ATV. The views were awesome, and the machine worked great. I highly recommend this local and flexible company. Use them and save some money instead of booking on your next cruise!

Awesome experience! Joe and Jack are super helpful and knowledgeable, the equipment is top notch and we loved the ride!

Did the 2.5 hour tour. Great time and incredible sights.
