this was such a fun little adventure away from the city with all the other tourists! The pace was perfect, the little scooters were easy to ride and the guide was very informative. The location was easy to find and everyone involved was very friendly and courteous

This was our favorite activity we did while in Alaska! It was the perfect way to avoid the cruise crowd downtown and explore a large part of the area. Our guide, Axton, was patient, personable, and provided a lot of information about the area and answered all of our questions. The company provided everything you might need to stay warm during the ride - riding jackets/pants, gloves, boots, and helmets. Something we got to do that was not advertised was hike (short and pretty easy) to a waterfall at the end of the tour. This tour is great for adventurous people who are looking to connect with the natural spaces Alaska has to offer. Morgan in the office was super helpful and gave great advice for us while we were in town. I accidentally left my phone in one of the riding jackets and without hesitation he shuttled us back to the building where they store all of their equipment to grab it. While there to get my phone, I dropped my cruise card! Morgan contacted me right away and worked out a plan to return me my card. He really went above and beyond. This tour is definitely worth it and we would absolutely do it again!

This was a great excursion. We had a great time and the guide was fantastic. Lots of great views and plenty of stopping points for pictures. You do not have to be an expert Motorcycle driver to do this. They have a practice place before you go out. We will do this again if we get a chance to go back.
