We absolutely loved our trail and sail tour. We have beautiful weather to explore 30+ miles by e-bike - a few extra added because we passed one of the stops on our self-guided tour. Ending at the marina and joining the crew of Hopscotch for a relaxing sail outside the harbour was a great way to relax after the adventure of the biking! I would recommend this tour to anyone looking for some thrill and some pampering.

The biking was awesome! Great rentals and the app was very helpful. The sailing was nice, with the crew helpful and accommodating, The only knock was the food; while tasty, we were expecting a bit more.

Excellent customer service from both bike rental and sail tour. Captain Brenden was informative, friendly, and made us feel very comfortable. This excursion was the highlight of our 7 day adventure in Alaska.

Great excursion! The sailing portion was fantastic. Gorgeous scenery and they treated us fantastic. The bikes were fun, but was not expecting to ride on the side of a road with cars. Wish it was a trail without cars. But overall I d recommend.

We had so much fun - being able to do an excursion on our own away from a large group of people was a highlight. The owner of the bike shop was lovely and the bikes were amazingly powerful - unlike other e-bikes we have ridden, these bikes did not even require pedaling. We were able to visit the Gold Rush cemetery, an overlook and a bay that we had all to ourselves. We then took the bikes into town and walked around and finally to the pier to get on Hopscotch, the sailboat. Brendan, Alyssa and Bradley were very welcoming onto the boat and there was a nice spread of cheese, meat and crackers. The sailing was great. We really recommend this excursion.
