PERFECT. This made my hole trip so much better - Chandler was my guide. He was so friendly. It was only myself and him. We did the hike in the woods and we saw at least 4 different bears. I will do this again. If I could attach a picture or a video of my bears I would. I loved it

Nice, beautiful day - My husband pulled his back the day prior to us leaving on our cruise and was unable to join. There were only three of us that day on the ebike/hike tour. Reivon and Dana were so kind, informative and truly let you ride at your pace with no pressure to keep up. They ride behind you. Dana mainly taught you the ebike tutorial and Reivon took over on the hike. The Ebikes are pretty simple but you definitely had to get use to the slight thrust forward when you began to pedal after resting going down a hill. The hike was a short one down to the ocean where you'll walk along the rocky shore. We were lucky enough to see a sea lion just off the coast, but saw no other wild life. We tasted different berries along the way and stopped at falls and waterways. Don't be afraid of the ebikes. You will get the hang of it. The hike is in and out. The red cedars are huge and beautiful.

We had a great day on the... - We had a great day on the EBike/Rain Forest tour. The EBikes were in great working order, our Guide, Chandler, was exceptional. He was a wealth of information regarding the Rain Forest, as well. We appreciate the rain pants provided, as well. They helped during the light, but, pesty showers . Two thumbs up for Chandler and the entire Ketchikan Kayak crew

Salmon coming home - Chandler was very thoughtful and thorough. We hit a cooler rainy day so rain gear planning was a plus. They had some extra rain gear for the two others without. This is a nice out and back. Bikes were in great condition. Realize this is a bike and hike. Maybe a mile hike where you get to explore a lovely forest canopy. A fantastic water flow with the falls leading out to the bay. Our timing was perfect the first part of September so we were so fortunate to experience the salmon coming home to lay their eggs. Wonderful bonus to our ride. Great overall tour and tour guide

E bike tour and rain first hike Ketchikan Alaska - Dana and Raven guided or tour first on e bikes then on a hike through a rain forest in ketchikan Alaska. They did a wonderful job of teaching us first timers how to operate the bikes and we're extremely knowledgeable of the flora and fauna on the hike. 10/10 would do it again

Absolutely amazing tour - Chandler & Koda were our tour guides. Sophie was our van driver. We were picked up exactly as detailed on the reservation detail email I got after booking. Easy drive in a big van. Our first time on e-bikes and the explanation was great, after everyone was comfortable we walked up the drive and got on the road. Bikes looked either new or very well maintained, they rode very well, very comfortable seats. We got helmets too, they also offered wind breakers to wear if needed. Safely is definitely #1 with these guys they gave instructions at the start. Quick reminders thru out and always kept the guests between the two guides but distanced enough on the ride everyone could go at their own pace they felt safe going. The hike was beautiful. Learned a bunch about the rainforest and even had the privilege of seeing three black bears at a safe distance. Snacks at the end were unexpected and really nice touch. Then Sophie took us right back to town and gave us recommendations along the way. Definitely book with this company they were really good.

Beautiful experience in Ketchikan - We loved our e-bike and hike with Chandler and Cody. They were very knowledgable about all the trees and plant life along the trail. Because there were two guides for a group of 8, we were able to split up when my husband and I wanted to spend more time on the trails and others wanted to spend time exploring the beach area. Hike was easy and trail was well-kept. At our request, Cody took my husband and me on a short trail with more steps up and down. The e-bike portion was fun and went through a beautiful area.

Rude experience - Your customers are not for you to joke about at their expense. Rude experience. Would not recommend as the ebikes are mostly taken on the straight of the highway along with traffic. I expected some offroading but looks like this tour is usually for ages 50+.
