Overview

This bike, hike, and float trip combines three of our most popular tours.

You can imagine how many times we get asked for the "best" trip in a particular port of call. This is an impossible question to answer since we only offer the best opportunities in each port and, of course, everyone gets turned on by different things.

If you are an active person, though, there is no way that you won't enjoy this combination of adventures. You need not be an expert in any of them to have a great time.

Your day begins with a 20-minute van ride to the once famous gold rush community of Dyea. At one time, this town claimed a population of 10,000 prospectors all heading up the Chilkoot Trail to the Klondike. The days gone by have left a natural beauty that provides the perfect backdrop for an easy-pedaling 1.5 hour ride. After a brief orientation to your bike, you'll be guided along dirt roads around the historic town of Dyea. You'll ride through a temperate rain forest, visit historic ruins, and see the Chilkoot trailhead.

As you move out on the coastal tidal flats, you'll see eagles, colorful wildflowers, and the spectacular mountains in the background. Now that you're warmed up, you're ready to head out on the hiking portion of this excursion. A granola bar snack is provided at this point.

The hike is up and down a hill on uneven terrain for the first mile, then on mostly flat ground for the remainder. We'll take time to rest, talk, and take photos along the way. This portion of the tour will also last about 1.5 hours and will lead you to the beginning of the raft trip.

After donning a life jacket and rubber boots (and rain gear, if necessary), you'll board your raft for the float trip portion of this excursion, which requires absolutely no skill. Your relaxing 30-45 minute river float will be the perfect icing on a beautiful experience.

There will be light snacks as well as water/juice provided during your tour. At the conclusion of your trio of activities, you'll be returned by van to the tour starting point.
