Island Adventures Inc. redefines how you connect with this vibrant locale through their 2-Hour Guided Ocean Drive eBike Tour—an immersive ride that balances energy-saving electric pedal assistance with up-close encounters of Newport’s iconic coastline and hidden spots.

This carefully curated ride navigates the scenic Ocean Drive, a 10-mile stretch famed for its dramatic sea cliffs, rocky shoreline, and sweeping vistas of the Atlantic Ocean.
