Excursion Overview

Book an electric bicycle adventure in historic Skagway

Come ready to check out historic Skagway on an electric bike. Similar to a regular bike but with the added power of an electric motor for that extra gusto to get you around town. Embark on an adventure to discover the history behind this once-booming Gold Rush town!

Meet your guide a short distance from the cruise ship terminal in the heart of downtown Skagway. Familiarize yourself with the electric bike and get ready for several hours of scenery, history, and plenty of photo opportunities.

Your adventure begins along the historic waterfront of Skagway, Alaska. Known as the Gateway to the Yukon, Skagway's historic origins come to life as you admire turn-of-the-century buildings including the Arctic Brotherhood Hall, The Golden North Hotel, and White Pass Train Depot. Your guided e-bike tour includes a stop at Alaskan Fairytales for a chance to pan for authentic Klondike gold. Delight in an interactive demonstration to learn the do's and don'ts of gold panning. Next up, take a bike ride over to the "Gold Rush Cemetery" to uncover many secrets of Skagway's past. Guests will also have the chance to visit Lower Reid Falls, a gorgeous waterfall tucked behind the cemetery.

Wrap up your excursion with a ride to the City Overlook. This picturesque bluff provides panoramic views of Skagway and the Lynn Canal. Learn about how the Skagway Valley and the longest, deepest fjord in North America was formed.

This was a great excursion! My tour guide Kaley took me all around the town and gave me an excellent download of the history of Skagway. Before this trip, I had never used an eBike. I love them now! They really made biking around the area so easy and you can see so much more than you would on a regular bike. Kaley did a good job of explaining how to use my bike and keeping track of me during the trip. Would use this vendor again.
