Ketchikan Electric Bike and Rain Forest Hike Ecotour

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. And how could we not stop along the shoreline of the sea along the way back? It's not unheard of to see Porpoises, Seals and Sea Lions or sometimes Humpbacks 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. However, when you want a little boost in your ride just twist the throttle and you'll quickly see why e-bikes are so much fun to ride. These bikes are powerful and seriously cool. 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 8 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.

The Ketchikan E-Bike Tour was fabulous! We were picked up right from our cruise dock port and taken to the cutest and most scenic marina. From there, we were given safety information and jumped on our e-bikes to go about 10 miles round trip. Some of the roads were steeper than others but the e-bike makes it super easy for all fitness levels since you could use as little or as much of the electric part as you need. We saw a seal swimming right on the beach by the place where we stopped to hike. The guides, scenery, and tour were all great. Book this tour, you won’t regret it!

Really enjoyed the walk through the rainforest and then skipping stones down at the beach. We saw a harbor seal catching a salmon which was pretty cool. The bikes were nice and well maintained and the ride was fun too. Logan, our guide, was great!

Me and my wife had a lot of fun on the E-Bikes and hike with Logan! He was really knowledgeable of the nature in the area. Also had fun skipping rocks and even experienced some “Monkey Farts.” Everyone was extremely accommodating and got us back on our cruise in time!
