Excursion Chilkat e bike adventure tour at Haines

Discover one of the most scenic areas of the Inside Passage in an eco-friendly and invigorating new way during this immersive e-bike excursion.

Haines, E-Bike Instruction & Guided Tour

Depart the pier for the short walk up to the Sockeye Cycle Co. bike shoppe. Upon arrival, meet your guide and receive your e-biking safety briefing and instructions on how to use the controller, gears, brakes, etc. Afterward, hop on your pedal-assisted e-bike and begin the cycling portion of your guided tour. Your approximately 90-minute e-bike-ride takes place on mostly paved surfaces, with some gravel sections and inclines, and is suitable for all riders with a moderate level of fitness. Although pedaling is required, e-bikes provide pedal assist for a great way to stretch your legs but not feel like you've spent the entire day on a bicycle.

Fort Seward, Chilkat River, Optional Beach Walk,

Your route begins with a scenic ride to historic Fort Seward. Upon arrival, your guide explains the history of Fort Seward whilst you explore the grounds of this renowned, Gold Rush-era fort. Afterward, your e-bike-ride continues along the picturesque Chilkat River. We will cycle back through Haines townsite and along the waterfront for a photo opportunity and final stop before completing our loop and arriving back at the bike shop. Here, you'll return your gear and you are welcome to browse for branded apparel, drinkware, bike accessories and other souvenirs. Following your visit, commence the short walk back down to the pier.
