As the original electric bicycle tour in Southeast Alaska, we're excited for you to join us on an easy, enjoyable ride on the "road to nowhere". This road dead ends at the edge of the dense Tongass National Forest, an extensive wilderness where you will then take an enjoyable, guided, educational hike along a well maintained trail beside an active salmon spawning stream. The hiking features a beautiful waterfall along the path as well as stunning beach views with potential to spot intertidal creatures, black bears and marine mammals along the coast. The dense rainforest is the highlight of the loop trail through the Tongass and is always changing throughout the season. After enjoying your guided hike you'll return to your e-bikes to cycle back to our marina for smoked salmon snacks along with vegan options and beverages. All our tours provide round trip transportation from both the Downtown Cruise docks & the New Dock at Ward Cove. Excellent rain gear is provided should you need it.

From: $0.00

Q&A

Q: What should we wear for the e-bike and hike tour in Ketchikan?

A: I'd recommend wearing comfortable, moisture-wicking clothing since you’ll be biking and hiking. Don't forget layers—Ketchikan weather can be unpredictable! Good hiking shoes are a must, and they provide rain gear so you’ll be covered if it rains. Also, bring a hat or sunglasses for the beach part!

Q: Is there an age limit for the e-bike tour? Can kids join?

A: Yes, kids can join! They usually have a minimum age requirement of around 12 years for riding the e-bikes, but younger kids can hike along with an adult. Just check with the tour provider before booking to be sure they allow younger kids on the hike.

Q: What happens if it rains during the tour? Do you still go?

A: They’ll still go if it rains since they provide excellent rain gear. However, if the weather is really bad, they might reschedule or cancel for safety reasons. It's best to call the company a day or two before to check the forecast and confirm.

Just did the Ketchikan Electric Bike and Rain Forest Hike—amazing experience!

I went on this tour last week and wow, it was such a blast! Riding the e-bikes along the 'road to nowhere' was so chill, and the hike through the Tongass Forest was beautiful. We saw a few salmon in the stream, and the waterfall was stunning! The smoked salmon snacks afterward were delicious too. Highly recommend this for anyone visiting Ketchikan!

Thinking of gifting the Ketchikan Ecotour—any tips?

I'm planning to gift this tour to my parents since they love nature! They’re not super active though, so I’m wondering if it’s too much for them. How hard is the hike? Are the e-bikes easy to manage?
