What happens if it rains on the day of my tour? 🌧️

We play in the rain of course! 🙌🙌

Here in Alaska we like to say “there is no such thing as bad weather, just bad clothing”.
We wholly embrace that mantra here at 49th State Motor Tours! ⁠
⁠
So what does that look like if you’ve booked a tour with us: ⁠
⁠
- We provide you with a helmet, safety glasses & boots to keep your feet dry. ⁠
⁠
- We highly recommend wearing warm layers if it’s a cloudy/cooler day and either wear or bring a pair of rain pants + rain jacket just incase the skies open up while we’re out having fun! ⁠

Never been off-roading before? No problem! Our guides make sure you feel comfortable & know what to expect every step of the way.

Before you head out on your adventure there will be a quick safety briefing where they’ll go over hand signals, what type of terrain you’ll be encountering and perhaps most Importantly (if you’ve never ridden an ATV or driven a UTV), they’ll go over how to operate your machine.

We promise you’ll have an absolute blast riding with us; whether you’re a complete newbie or you’re a season rider.
