The eBIKES - Rainforest Adventure is a three-hour route through ancient forest with views of Mendenhall Glacier. The assisted e-bikes make the route accessible to a wide range of fitness levels, allowing grandparents and avid bikers to explore together and choose their own pace.
The SEGWAY - Coastal Rainforest Tour is a three-hour photo safari that travels along coastal landscapes, Lynn Canal shorelines, and Tongass National Forest scenery. Guests encounter views of Mendenhall Glacier, access a secluded beach for local refreshments, and receive natural-history information about Alaska’s wildlife.
The SEGWAY - Alpine Wilderness Trail Adventure is a three-hour tour through Fish Creek Valley on scenic Nordic ski trails. The route highlights alpine meadows, snow-capped peaks, and regional flora and fauna, and includes a locally sourced snack during the outing.
All tours depart from Juneau and emphasize small-group experiences in outdoor settings.
