Overview

Ride an electric bike to the end of Ketchikan's 'road to nowhere' and then hike thorough a wildlife-rich rain forest on this combo eco-tour. Pedal from the marina to the end of the island's paved road system on a battery-powered bike, and then dismount to trek through the wilderness of the Tongass National Forest, following a trail that passes an active salmon-spawning stream, a waterfall, beach views, and dense foliage that's home to an array of native Alaskan wildlife.
  • Ride an electric bike to the end of Ketchikan's paved road system
  • Take a guided nature hike through the lush Tongass National Forest
  • Look for native wildlife in this southeast Alaskan rain forest

    • FOR DOWNTOWN CRUISE SHIP PASSENGERS: After disembarking your cruise ship, please proceed to the shelter at Cruise Berth 3. The shelter is on the dock next to the "Visitors Information - Restrooms" building and Sockeye Sam's Store. (NOTE: this is not the berth 2 Visitors Center). The walk is approximately 2-5 minutes depending at which pier you are docked. The address is 420 Water Street. Our guide will be present 15 minutes before all departures holding a RED sign that says "KETCHIKAN KAYAK CO." FOR CRUISE SHIP PASSENGERS ARRIVING AT THE MILL AT WARD COVE: After disembarking your cruise ship, please proceed to the brick building "The Mill at Ward Cove." Proceed through the building to the right. Tour vendors will be greeting guests for excursions in the corner near the restrooms and the large overhead door. Look for your guide with a RED sign that reads "KETCHIKAN KAYAK CO." ***IMPORTANT NOTE! The MIll at Ward Cove is halfway between downtown Ketchikan and our marina, this means departures from Ward Cove will be leaving 15 minutes after the scheduled tour departure time and guests returning to Ward Cove will be back about 15 minutes early. For example, if you schedule a tour from 8:00am to noon, your tour will operate from 8:15 to 11:45.am. Please look for us at the scheduled departure time though so that we can ensure everyone is ready to go when our van arrives. If you are docking at Ward Cove but would prefer to meet for a downtown departure or if you would prefer to be dropped off downtown after the excursion this may be possible but you will need to contact the Ketchikan Kayak Co. prior to your arrival date to arrange the change. Otherwise all guests docking at Ward Cove will be expected to be picked up at Ward Cove. *Remember to turn off airplane mode when you pull into port to aid in communication should there be any delays or should any issues arise the day of your excursion.

    Skip it. You just ride ebikes down a busy street for no reason whatsoever, it isn’t extremely scenic or anything. Just basically riding from where they send out kayaks, down some side streets and on the main road to a public hiking spot. The hike itself was pretty and worth doing, but you could just go to the preserve and do it yourself for free. Guides were nice and had lots of information about the foliage. Definitely wouldn’t recommend it, especially for $150 a person.

    We loved the rain forest. Our guide, Danielle, was very knowledgeable and was able to tell us detailed information about the flora as well as the geography of the area. The small group allowed for a great experience.

    Ketchikan Settlers Pass State Park ride
    jULIE_J
    , Sep 2021
    Had an awesome time despite pouring rides. Bikes provide heavy duty assist. Scenery was awesome. Hike provides vistas of dense, beautiful vegetation and a momma bear with her cub. Knowledgeable and passionate guides. Authentic, versus a canned script. Heavy duty rain pants, hooded jacket and helmet covers were provided to make the excursion viable despite the pouring rain. Hot chocolate ( with spirits optional) to celebrate the ride…around a fire pit in a heated shelter. Great way to see Ketchikan!!

    Eric and Grayson were amazing!! The e bike experience was wonderful. We started on the water with an incredible view, mashed to settlers cover where we had a lovely hike through the woods and even encountered a momma black bear and Cubs! We got to watch her fish and feed, we also walked along the shore and took in all the beautiful scenery. Best tour in Ketchikan. Thank you to the whole team!!! 10/10 would recommend.

    We loved riding the le trip bikes it made the excursion so easy and helped us decide to perhaps buy one ourselves. The hike was filled with ample ocean, shore and rainforest views and it even provided us with free blueberry pickings along the hike. At the beach we were greeted by whales spouting off in the distance. Awesome crew and friendly dogs to greet you

    This was a great shore excursion during our Alaska cruise stop in Ketchikan. The ebikes were fun and easy to operate. The hike was pleasant with lots to see and learn from our excellent guide Austin. Snacks were delicious when we returned as was the nice cold Alaskan Husky IPA!

    AWESOME ride and hike

    , Jun 2019
    This was just the most fun you could have on a ride and hike through the rainforest down to the beach. The day was gorgeous with breathtaking scenery, rustic, quaint homes. These electric bikes are so easy to ride. Tim, our van driver was great in helping each person get acclimated to riding the bikes so you felt comfortable. Melissa and Danielle were our tour guides and both quite interesting young women. They took great care to make sure you felt safe & comfortable during the ride and during the hike. The bike ride was 10 miles round trip and since it was an electric bike, turn on the throttle and off you go without wearing yourself out uphill. Ketchikan Kayak Company fits you with a helmet and rain slicker, which we didn't need since it was such a beautiful morning and at the end ride/hike were we return the bikes, there were some light beverages and a little salmon/cracker spread which also accommodated the kayakers that also went out of this company. This is a really terrific business!! If I ever come back to Ketchikan, I would do this again. Their office is walking distance from the port and dress appropriately. Most of all, have a great time. Thanks Ketchikan Kayak Co. Marilyn Periandri
