E-Bike & Hike

About

• Ketchikan Kayak Co. is excited to go into our 5th year running 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 islands’ 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 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 come by. The bike ride is just over 10 miles roundtrip and the hike is about 1.25 miles but with a maximum of 8 guests we can be flexible. 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. Our crew features mostly local guides and professional educators with experience as commercial Alaskan salmon fishermen, commercial winter dive fisheries in Southeast Alaska, experience guiding dog sled tours and work in guiding positions across the country. The experience and personalities of our team brings so much more depth to your experience with us than you’ll find on tours led by fresh summer seasonals.
• Smoked salmon, picnic tables, and a great view are awaiting you when we return to our scenic marina and a restaurant with Alaskan beers is on site.
