Excursion Overview

Come on an exciting adventure by e-bike tour in Southeast Alaska.

On new peddle assist, electric bikes, your guide will lead you on a 10 mile (roundtrip) ride along the coastline to where the road ends at the edge of the extensive wilderness. At the Tongass National Rainforest, you will take a guided hike through dense rainforest, across a stream to a beautiful waterfall and the late season salmon run. This 1.25 mile educational hike features a wide array of flora, fauna, and beautiful beach views from which you may spot seals swimming, salmon jumping, humpback whales feeding near the shoreline or orcas passing by.

With no more than 12 guests per group, this small group tour provides an intimate and educational experience. Experienced guides, with first-hand experience as Alaskan educators, fishermen, divers, dog sled guides, and professional tour guides bring personality and passion to this experience. You’ll end this tour with a delicious treat of smoked salmon, salmon dip and other snacks (including vegan options), hot and cold beverages as you enjoy the scenic view and reflect on the adventure you’ve just experienced.

A fun ride with the electric bikes, which were practically brand new. The guides had great knowledge of the flora and fauna of the forest we hiked through. Although the hike wasn't very long, it was very interesting and the guides kept us entertained. Didn't expect a temperate rain forest in Alaska!

We were a bit disappointed with this excursion. We felt the description was a bit deceiving as it made it sound like we would be driving the e-bikes on a coastal trail, not a highway with perhaps a glimpse of the coast. The hiking trail was very pretty and since it was low tide it was cool to search for starfish. Sophie was super nice and knowledgeable but we felt a bit rushed and awkward about enjoying the waterfalls and beach; perhaps that s because the group was just the 3 of us.

This was a great tour. Our guides were great and took us on an awesome hike. We had never ridden e-bikes before. The guides made it easy to understand, get on and go.

Had a great time, the guides were very good, the tour well organized and kept us informed of schedule changes due to disembark time change.

The excursion was amazing, and we had great forest hike and bike guides. We had a hard time finding the point of contact at the pier after meeting at the meeting point 15 minutes early, but everything worked out!
