About this activity
After a dozen years of running kayak tours in Ketchikan, we're consistently surprised at the number of visitors who never set foot in the Rain Forest. Our E-Bike tour originated from a desire to get more visitors into this amazing rain forest. With almost 200 inches of rain annually, there really is no place as lush and unique as Southeast Alaska. The forest floor is bountiful with all kinds of Flora and Fauna and depending on the time of season its not unusual to see deer or or salmon swimming up stream.
Port times for most folks are very limited, so we wanted to maximize your time by combining multiple activities on this tour. Plus we wanted to offer more than just a hiking tour anyway. So we made the trip to the trailhead half the adventure in itself. And how could we not stop along the shoreline of the sea along the way back? It's not unheard of to see Porpoises, Seals and Sea Lions or sometimes Humpbacks from the beach.
Electric assist bicycles are bicycles. You pedal them and shift gears like any other bike. They are very quiet in operation and are not classified as a motorized vehicle. However, when you want a little boost in your ride just twist the throttle and you'll quickly see why e-bikes are so much fun to ride. These bikes are powerful and seriously cool. We can cover more distance using e-bikes than conventional bicycles, you don't have to worry about keeping up, and they are the perfect way to get just the amount of exercise you're after. They are very accommodating with a step-through frame so you don't have to throw a leg over the bike to get on and off. We recharge our e-bikes with hydro power so they are a clean source of fun. Our tour usually max's out at 8 people, so no chance of getting lost in the crowd.

There were some scheduling issues, but the team promptly worked it out and made it a fantastic experience for us. The company staff are so friendly and helpful and it shows that they want you to have the best experience. The e-bikes were a blast and the rain forest hike was so enlightening and beautiful. Would highly recommend and would do again. Thank guys!
This tour was amazing and we would do it again in a heartbeat. The e-bikes were so much fun and easy to operate. The rainforest is beautiful and awe inspiring.
We had such a great time on this excursion! The crew was so friendly, accomodating, and knowledgeable! The e-bikes were a blast (I'm convinced I need one after this) and the forest hike is beautiful. So much lush greenery! At the end, they even provided us with some local brews and salmon dip. We highly recommend!!
This was better than advertised. Our guide was excellent. He knew his history, he knew his environment, and most importantly he knew his group. After a brief lesson on how to use the electric bikes we were off, They were wonderful. We rode for 5 miles to get to the forest and it was a breeze and it was fun. The electric assist was wonderful. Once we got there the hiking was spectacular. Our guide pointed out many different plants and trees and provided some really interesting facts. The highlight of our tour was the whales we spotted. They were playing just a couple of hundred yards off shore. That was totally unexpected. These guys were great and I would heartily recommend the tour.
My family and I throughly enjoyed this excursion! This was our first time on electric bikes and the entire team was very helpful in making sure we felt comfortable. Our guide, Tim, made sure that we saw all that Ketchikan had to offer. The rain forest hike is AMAZING and gives you the opportunity to see various wildlife/marine animals. We would definitely recommend this Eco-Tour!
Excellent !!!! Me and my son enjoyed this excursion last June thank you for our very knowledgeable guide Tim .Highly recommended!!!
