Amazing! - Incredible tour. Took a bit to get the hang of the electric bike but after that no problems. Beautiful views and fantastic rainforest hike. Our guides Chandler and Raven were knowledge and fun! We learned all about the rainforest plants - and the poisonous ones to avoid - and the beach animals! Definitely recommend.

Fabulous tour with a great company. One of the best excursions we’ve ever done - We’ve done lots of e-bike and ours and this one was the best by far! Sophie was our guide and she made our experience perfect. They have small groups but we were lucky enough to be the only ones on the tour. They had snacks for the hike and a nice spread of crackers, salmon, cocoa etc., when we returned. Our teen daughter was anxious and Sophie was very patient and even moved us to a less busy street to help her build some confidence. The bikes were easy to use and she gave a training lesson. I wouldn’t take younger kids because the bikes are really heavy. The hike was equally as fun and she gave us lots of information but not so much that it’s boring. She knew all the perfect spots for the best photos. The company gave us great directions to meet them at the pier and then they called us when we weren’t quite there yet. They were very organized. I highly recommend this company!

Best way to start your trip! - Absolutely amazing! The company picks you up at the cruise docks and take you 30 min. north to the Clover Pass Resort. We were met by our tour guides Reiven and Sophie. Sophie gives you an excellent safety briefing on the e-bikes and after Reiven geared us up, they escorted us to Settlers Cove Recreation Site. The area is incredibly beautiful and a very easy hike. Reiven is very passionate, charismatic and knowledgeable on the environment and one of the best guides I've ever met. We road back to the Resort and got to have hot cocoa/coffee with delicious smoked salmon and were driven back to our pickup spot. This was a fantastic introduction to the area and my favorite activity on the island. When I come back, it's the first thing on my list to do!

A Warm Welcome From Alaska - The bike tour was exciting with a wonderful small hike viewing the beautiful forest! Our guides, Reiven and Sophie, were patient, informative, and fun! Definitely made our journey a more enjoyable experience. Also took an amazing kayak tour with Zax as our guide. He was very helpful and knew the best spots to see wildlife! I’d say we were very lucky with him. Everyone there were friendly and assistive. Definitely recommend this place as a part of anyone’s journey into Ketchikan Alaska 💖🦭🌳 🦅

Best Excursion We’ve Taken - Sophie was our guide on the E-bike & hike tour. We highly recommend you take her tour. She was so helpful and patient with us learning to use our bikes. She had so much knowledge about the forest and beach. It was one of the best excursions our family has ever done. Don’t hesitate to take her tour, worth every penny.

Wow…..amazing experience brought to you by Koda and Chandler! - Wow…. What an experience. Koda and Chandler were fantastic. They did a great job getting us familiar with the bikes and offered us rain gear( trust me take it) the 5 mile ride there and back are picture perfect. Walking through the rain forest was amazing and Chandler and Koda did a fantastic job explaining the wildlife, plants and even saw an eagle snatch a fish. Overall, definitely an experience we won’t soon to forget.

Glitch at beginning - Outstanding experience. Chandler and Koda were top notch. We wanted to book for 6 people. for some reason we needed to make 2 bookings one for 2 the other for 4. When we were greeted by director at terminal he did not have the the booking for 4. For at time we thought we would be turned away. He later assured us we would be able to enjoy the bike and hike. His concern was that he would not be paid by Viator. Hopefully he was. The tour itself was fantastic. We were blessed by great weather. The guides were helpful and knowledgeable
