Overview

(For guests 16 and older) Planning your first day in the Kennebunks? As you cruise along this 10- to 12-mile loop, you'll stop to visit all the can't-miss scenic and historic sites in town — and a few lesser-known gems, as well.

Your local guide will entertain you with larger-than-life tales and fascinating historical facts while allowing plenty of time to snap photos and absorb the breathtaking coastal Maine vistas.

From start to finish, this tour is pure, effortless joy aboard our well-maintained class 2 e-bikes. Four pedal assist options tailor the experience to your physical ability level, with an optional throttle for those moments when you would rather not pedal at all.

If you've never ridden an e-bike before, no worries. Your patient and personable guide will demonstrate everything you need to know before the tour begins and will continue to check in on you throughout the experience.

The vibe on this tour is relaxed, informative, and, most of all, fun!

What's included

  • Bicycle basket for your belongings
  • Bike helmet
  • A recent-model electric bike (e-bike) equipped with multiple pedal assist modes and an optional throttle. Large- and medium- sized bikes available with adjustable seat heights
