Ketchikan Electric Bike and Rain Forest Hike Ecotour

Overview
As the original electric bicycle tour in Southeast Alaska, we're excited for you to join us on an easy, enjoyable ride on the "road to nowhere". This road dead ends at the edge of the dense Tongass National Forest, an extensive wilderness where you will then take an enjoyable, guided, educational hike along a well maintained trail beside an active salmon spawning stream. The hiking features a beautiful waterfall along the path as well as stunning beach views with potential to spot intertidal creatures, black bears and marine mammals along the coast. The dense rainforest is the highlight of the loop trail through the Tongass and is always changing throughout the season. After enjoying your guided hike you'll return to your e-bikes to cycle back to our marina for smoked salmon snacks along with vegan options and beverages. All our tours provide round trip transportation from both the Downtown Cruise docks & the New Dock at Ward Cove. Excellent rain gear is provided should you need it.

What To Expect
1
Tongass National Forest
After a dozen years of running kayak tours in Ketchikan, we're consistently surprised at the number of visitors who never set foot in the Rain Forest. Our E-Bike tour originated from a desire to get more visitors into this amazing rain forest. With almost 200 inches of rain annually, there really is no place as lush and unique as Southeast Alaska. The forest floor is bountiful with all kinds of Flora and Fauna and depending on the time of season its not unusual to see deer or or salmon swimming up stream. Port times for most folks are very limited, so we wanted to maximize your time by combining multiple activities on this tour. Plus we wanted to offer more than just a hiking tour anyway. So we made the trip to the trailhead half the adventure in itself. The ocean views along the hike and from our scenic marina are a big bonus! It's not unheard of to see Porpoises, Seals and Sea Lions or sometimes Humpbacks or Orcas from the beach.

Electric assist bicycles are bicycles. You pedal them and shift gears like any other bike. They are very quiet in operation and are not classified as a motorized vehicle. These bikes have multiple levels of peddle assist allowing you to choose how much exercise you want to get. Peddling is necessary. We can cover more distance using e-bikes than conventional bicycles, you don't have to worry about keeping up, and they are the perfect way to get just the amount of exercise you're after. They are very accommodating with a step-through frame so you don't have to throw a leg over the bike to get on and off. We recharge our e-bikes with hydro power so they are a clean source of fun. Our tour usually max's out at 10 people, so no chance of getting lost in the crowd. Get out of town with us on your visit to Ketchikan this summer!
Cancellation Policy
For a full refund, cancel at least 24 hours before the scheduled departure time.

We spent the day with this crew so after zipping around on the water with them on the Fast Boats it was cool to take a ride with them to the end of the road and hike into the dense rainforest. We saw salmon running up the stream and caught a glimpse of a mama bear and her two black bear cubs taking a salmon from the stream up into the woods! The hike was easy for us, but the loop trail (which is optional) did have stairs and some elevation. A couple of the other guests decided to stay down near the beach amd the salmon stream with 1 guide while the rest of the group did the whole loop. It was nice that they are flexible. Our guides were also very knowledgable about everything around us in the rain forest which was awesome! The bikes are super easy to ride and well maintained. So happy to get to spend the day with the KKC crew!

The most memorable part, was how we lucked into seeing a mother bear in her two cubs, Had we not seen that I wouldā€™ve been very disappointed with this excursion. While I understand, seeing wildlife is always per chance, Riding the bike to the national Forest with a very short hike, did not illicit a wow factor

We loved our experience from start to finish! We were greeted warmly, and the bike ride was very enjoyable. The hike along lunch Creek Trail was beautiful and Raiven was very knowledgeable and we ate berries along the way! The food when we returned was delicious and hit the spot! I would highly recommend this company. Itā€™s clear the whole gang works well together and loves what they are doing
