Loved this tour! Katie and Tyler were great guides, fun and had so much interesting info to share. We'll never forget the eagle flying right over us as we rode, the scenery was beautiful. The ebikes are really great, you are pedaling but the assist makes it so easy. Loved the rainforest hike and salmon dip snack was delish! Thanks for an unforgettable experience, Kate!

My husband and I happened to be the only ones on the eBike adventure with our tour guide Kate. She was super friendly and gave us various details about Alaska. We took a break on a bench by the water and were treated to a salmon dip and crackers. This tour was really awesome, thanks Kate!!
