★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 562 reviews · 4 hours (approx.) · from $161Our pick

You’ll ride a quiet pedal-assist bike from Ketchikan’s marina to the end of the paved road, then hike through Tongass National Forest to waterfalls, a salmon stream, and the beach. Guides such as Chandler, Sophie, Raven, and Koda lead small groups, provide rain gear, and serve smoked salmon with vegan options.

“The hike through the rain forest was quite good and our guide was knowledgeable about flora. E-bike was elementary…we rode down an highway; overall, the tour was overpriced. The hike is Lunch Falls trail, Tongass NF, 0.7 miles. Find it yourself and save money.”

We visited a community for an excellent lunch and cultural experience. Besides the beauty and rigorous exercise that we enjoyed, what made this trip memorable were the people. Our guides were friendly, caring, and adventurous. Our fellow travelers were from various countries, interesting, friendly and fellow thrill seekers. I highly recommend this tour. We were a family of four traveling with 2 teenage boys.”
