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.

My boyfriend and I enjoyed a lively morning with these guys. We had a small group of fellow cruise passengers. We went on the E Bike and Hike tour. These guys are great! Easy to find, just across the street from where our ship docked (Bliss). They supplied us with hats and jackets and took us on a 20 minute drive to where we hopped on there brand new bad a$$ bikes. They were so much fun. We rode along with 2 guides safely to the hiking spot. They were very knowledgeable about the trees, Moss, beach, everything. We then rose back to “camp” where they offers us drinks and smoked salmon and fish dip before heading back to the ship. I highly recommend this tour!!!!

I visited during the off season and was able to go kayaking and hiking. It was my first time kayaking and I felt confident after Tim taught me proper techniques. Bonus that I was there during a very low tide and was able to see all sorts of sea creatures that aren't typically exposed. The hike was beautiful and just the right amount of activity. So much to see, and very informative. You can't go wrong with Ketchikan Kayak Company!

We did all 3--kayak, bike and hike with tour guide Derek. It was a beautiful sunny day (so we didn't see any whales) and all of the excursions were absolutely wonderful. The kayaks seat 2 people in each one, so with an odd number of guest we had one person to share the kayak with Derek, which worked out perfectly that my stepmom could sit back and enjoy while he did most of the work. We are a family, all adults, ages late 20s - late 50s and for the most part we were all able to do all of the activities. We had one rider who doesn't do so well on bikes, and they drove her to the hike site while the rest of us rode the ebikes, which were a lot of fun. The hike was amazing! We didn't go far on the trail, but we got to go down by the water and had some of the best photos from our whole trip to Alaska. We would highly recommend this tour to everyone, you get to see so many sites that would be hard to locate for someone not familiar with the area and we got so much in in the time we had in port from our cruise ship.
