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

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.

Amazing views, and easy to bike with the e bike. The hike was a lot more strenuous so would not recommend for people not at least prepared to hike for an hour up and down hills. The rainforest was amazing, and the views outstanding. the guides were excellent as well, and quite patient for the slower people in our group. Also the group size was nice and small. Under 10 people, so not your typical cruise ship tour. Much better !! Highly Recommend.

We did the ebike and hike tour with Ketchikan Kayak Company. It was great from start to finish, they picked us up right at the port and dropped us off afterwards in town at Creek Street. The bikes were fun as was the rainforest hike, and Logan our guide was excellent, so knowledgeable and friendly. The tour was very well priced and I would not hesitate taking it through KKC.

This was so much fun! The bikes were easy to ride and we even ran into a few deer on the path. Spencer was an awesome tour guide, very patient, friendly and informative! We learned so much from him on the hike through the amazingly beautiful Alaskan rainforest. We got to see 3 waterfalls along the bike ride and one spectacular one on the hike which turns into a creek that we crossed over on a small bridge. We also were able to follow the creek down to the beach and do a little exploring. Too bad the salmon weren’t yet running upstream to lay their eggs. We highly recommend this as your excursion choice. The company is top notch and even provide waterproof rain gear in all different sizes, so no worries if you didn’t bring any. Next time we cruise to Ketchikan, we plan to do their kayak tour for sure!
