Pricing and Dates at the bottom of the page. Call for Reservations
San Juan Island Island a popular cycling destination. We offer one day guided bike tours of the San Juans. We have selected the best riding destinations to provide the best experience. It is difficult to find a one-day biking tour on San Juan Island. So we have specifically designed the tour around one day of exploration.
The Tours
American Camp Bike and Hiking Tour
Departing from our shop at 9am we head to the south end of San Juan Island to the American Camp National Historical Park. The ride out covers around 9 miles over rolling hills. Once we arrive at the Park there will be a short break then a short hike. Hike down towards the water coving while learning about the early history and how the American military camp came to be. The open grasslands allow amazing views of the Olympic Mountain across the lower end of the Haro Strait. As we head back to town we have an optional 2.5 mile ride past False Bay, a beautiful country road that should not be missed.
Total Mileage: 18 – 24 Miles
Time Required: Approximately 5 hours
Lime Kiln Bike Tour and Lighthouse Hike
Lime Kiln State Park is the most popular destination on the island. Well known for being one of the best places in the world to see killer whales from the shoreline, guest congregate to the park in hopes on a shoreline encounter. The ride out covers approximately 9 miles passing through beautiful San Juan Valley and out along West Side Road. The terrain has rolling hills with one hill challenge mid-ride. We will stop for a short break along West Side Road to catch our breath and enjoy ocean views. From there it is a short ride to Lime Kiln State Park where we will hike the waterfront trail to the lighthouse. On our way back to town, we will have an optional stop at the Lavender Farm.

The Options
The tours are divided into two tour categories. Traditional Road Bikes and Electric Assist Bikes. We do not mix traditional bikes with road bikes. We will mix bike styles for a private groups only.
The Bikes
Road Bike
Road bikes are a great bike to explore San Juan Island. A slightly heavier tire to tame the chip sealed roads and comfortable riding positions. Fitted with a 2x front drive train matched with an 8-Speed cassette there is plenty of gear range to cover the miles and hills.
Electric Assist Bike
The E-Bikes are a great option for those looking for a biking experience but want to tame those hills just a bit easier. Our Felt and Kona E-Bikes are top of the line bikes outfitted with Bosch electric motors. Easily switch between assistance modes on the go and enjoy the extra boost when you need it. A great way to see the island.
