Haines Bike, Hike & Brew Adventure

Excursion Overview

Coastal Views, Rainforest Hike & Craft Beer Toast!

Experience the best of coastal Alaska on this guided bike and hike adventure in Haines. The tour begins at the local bike shop with a personalized bike fitting and orientation before setting out on a scenic two-mile coastal ride to the Battery Point trailhead. From there, guests enjoy a hike through a lush spruce, hemlock, and cottonwood rainforest along a well-maintained trail leading to the beach at Battery Point. This picturesque shoreline offers excellent opportunities to spot seals, sea lions, whales, and a variety of coastal birds. After hiking back to the bikes, riders cruise along the waterfront into town, stopping at a scenic photo location that captures the natural beauty of Haines.

The adventure continues with a ride to the renowned Haines Brewing Company, located in downtown Haines. Here, guests sample three 5-ounce pours of locally crafted beer, with root beer and tea available for non-alcoholic options. After enjoying the flavors of Alaska’s craft brewing scene, the group completes the final mile ride back to the bike shop, wrapping up a perfectly balanced tour of outdoor exploration and local flavor.

This tour is typically available from May through August. Our excursions were designed for cruise ship passengers but are available to everyone.
