Our most popular tour, our clients say it’s “the best thing to do in Anchorage!” (Trip Advisor) Enjoy beautiful views, learn about Alaska and look for moose! Great for all biking abilities and ages.
Beginning at Kincaid Park, in the forested hills along Cook Inlet, enjoy a leisurely 9.5 mile guided bike ride along the Tony Knowles Coastal Trail. Along the way, your guide will share the natural and human history of Anchorage and the surrounding area. Kincaid Park is one of the largest parks within Anchorage, allowing you to experience the wild side of Alaska’s largest city as this is home to snowshoe hares, bald eagles, black bears, moose and more! There are plenty of opportunities for photos along the way as this bike ride along the coast offers views of five different mountain ranges. In addition to Kincaid Park, we also visit Earthquake Park, where we bike through some of the lasting devastation from the 1964 Earthquake and end at Westchester Lagoon, a waterfowl sanctuary.
* The vehicle meets the group halfway (Point Woronzof); if there is someone in the group who is only up for 5 miles of biking, join the driver guide for a driving tour the rest of the way.

For those without their own transportation seating in the van is limited to a maximum of 6 passengers. Face coverings must be on before you get in and must stay on until we unload. We are maximizing ventilation within the shuttle by keeping the windows rolled down for the duration of the drive.
