Excellent guide. Saw many moose on our excursion and it was good to have an experience guide to help navigate near and around the Moose. Loved the trail.

Overview

This bike tour was incredible ! We went with Cory and Jeremiah and they both were great. Cory was our guide on the trails and was amazing. The timing was perfect because we got to see beautiful yellow leaves, plus multiple moose. Cory ensured we remain at a safe distance from them. There were a few stops along the ride. This is a great tour if you haven't cycled in a long time.

Make sure to check if young children are on your tour. If the kids are whiney and spoiled it can ruin your experience.

Response from Host, Sep 2025

Ayy! Sorry about the noisy kids! Although, it's great to have them on tour so they can learn about and see Alaska's wildlife along with the adults and build memories too. We're glad to have guests of all ages young and old, tall and short with us. Have a great day Cindy!

Highly recommend

Fun ride at a leisurely pace!

Donald_F, Aug 2025
This is a great ride, it is not very strenuous, except for 1 or 2 small inclines. The trail was lightly busy but we never had to stop. The guide did a great job telling us about the scenery and giving us plenty of opportunities for photos.

Our guide, Eli, was friendly, very knowledgeable about nature, and geology, and we were confident he could handle any wildlife we might encounter. We saw 4 moose sightings, including Mom and twin calves and pair of sandhill cranes. Thanks also to our driver, Jeremiah.

Lauren_J, Jul 2025
Such a fun tour! Mike was the most amazing tour guide giving us all the fun facts about anchorage, the wildlife, and all the stops along the trail. He interacted with and got to know us and truly made it the best tour. Bike path is paved and relatively easy, one hill will push you a little but it’s worth it!

ELAINE_K, Jun 2025
The bicycles were stable and easy to handle. Our guide, Ellie, was great. The ride was not strenuous (only one semi-formidable hill), nicely graded bike trail, and very scenic. We made stops along the almost 10 mile route to see various landmarks, which Ellie expounded upon. We even (carefully) were able to observe a moose cow with her newborn calf!

Response from Host, Jun 2025

Susan_M, Jun 2024
Fun, easy, interesting ride. Our guide was awesome. We got to see wildlife along the way-- very lucky! It's basically all downhill (except for one short hill-- they warn you about it and you can walk!) so don't expect a huge workout haha.

Coastal Bike Trail

Nice relaxing and scenic bike ride. There were some hills, but it wasn’t strenuous. I was nervous because I haven’t ridden a bike in a very long time. The hosts were great. The weather was perfect. Just a great day.

We saw our first Alaskan wild moose as we entered the park. The bikes were smooth and clearly maintained. The trail was paved and the sights were incredible. We were provided everything we needed.

Response from Host, Oct 2023

A fabulous outing!

Holly_T, Aug 2023
The guide was fantastic! I was the only solo person, but everyone on the tour was so friendly that it didn't bother me. We took lots of breaks so the guide could give us more information about the animals and birds we saw including a bald eagle, mama moose, and baby moose. She talked about the great Alaskan earthquake of 1964 and let me share my story of living though it when I was a little girl many years ago.

Response from Host, Oct 2023
