E-Bike & Hike

Offered by Ketchikan Kayak Co.  In Ketchikan, Alaska

About us

Ketchikan Kayak has been offering exceptional, intimate guided Sea Kayaking tours since 2003 and we’re excited to go into our 18th season offering guided tours into the Tongass National Forest.

We are a local, small, private tour business. We are not affiliated with any cruise lines and are completely independent. You’ll feel the difference in every aspect of your experience. And no, no one has ever missed their boat. Daily guided tours to match virtually every ship’s itinerary, with private transportation from downtown, right across the street from the cruise ships or your hotel.

What we'll do

We are excited to offer the first and only e-bike tour in SE Alaska. Join us for an easy and enjoyable electric-assist bicycle ride on the road to nowhere, the end of our paved road system. This road dead ends at the edge of extensive wilderness, where you will then take a guided hike on an enjoyable trail though dense rainforest, along a stream with waterfalls, rapids and calm sections.

We take a break at the stream's edge, which just may be the quietest and most relaxing place on your whole vacation. You will then return hike to the waiting e-bikes, and on the return bicycle ride we'll make another stop along the Inside Passage shoreline to check out the sea and beach comb a little bit on the rocky shore. Smoked salmon, picnic tables, and a great view are waiting as we return to our scenic oceanfront facilities. A convenience store with craft beers is on site.

All our tours provide round trip transportation from your cruise ship/hotel, and excellent gear is provided for all your needs.

What to expect / what's provided

*Duration: 4 hours

*No experience necessary.*

*Helmets, rubber boots, rain pants and rain jackets are provided. We also provide waterproof backpacks.

*We recommend that you wear clothing that would be appropriate for an outdoor hike through the forest with the weather on your given day.

*Ride with us on our new, peddle assist, electric bikes to where the road ends at the edge of extensive wilderness where you will then take a guided hike on an enjoyable trail through dense rainforest, across a stream featuring a beautiful waterfall and a late season salmon run. This hike features a wide array of flora and fauna and beautiful beach views from which we often watch seals swimming, salmon jumping and sometimes even get to watch humpback whales feeding near the shoreline or Orcas passing by. It’s always possible to see black bears along the ride or the hike but not guaranteed.

*The bike ride is 11 miles roundtrip and the hike (in the middle) is about 1.25 miles but with a maximum of 10 guests per tour. All of our tours are intimate and very educational. Often times throughout the summer we are the only tour out at the end of the road. What really sets us apart though are our guides. We are proud of our team and their rich blend of experiences and personalities that will guide your journey with us, surpassing the typical tours led by inexperienced seasonal guides.

*Smoked salmon, salmon dip and other snacks (including vegan options), hot and cold beverages and a great view are awaiting you when we return to our scenic marina.

*Our tours meet at our downtown office directly across the street from cruise ship berth 3. We are happy to offer our guests a centrally located meeting point featuring complimentary wifi and locally roasted coffee or hot tea for the early birds. Our Bright window signage makes us easy to find from the boardwalk and detailed directions, photos and a map are featured in your booking confirmation.
