The Alberni Valley offers many tantalizing surprises for those who appreciate the outdoors and are looking for an authentic experience. If you’re into bicycling, then our 3 day, 2 night, fully guided and gourmet catered Alberni Valley Bicycle Get-Away is the perfect way to be introduced to the undiscovered world-class bicycling here. Around each corner on the gently winding quiet country roads in the valley you are rewarded with breathtaking views of mountains, lakes, rivers, streams and wildlife.
shuttled up to Great Central Lake where we ride back to Sproat Lake, then check out the Mars water bombers and the First Nations petroglyphs. We wind our way back to Port Alberni on the quiet country roads. We do about 25km in total today before we arrive back at the B&B where you have chance to shower and relax before departure. A gourmet bag lunch is provided.
Our goal is to make sure that everyone gets as much bicycling as they want within the group. We can cater to riders of all skill & fitness levels.
We're located in Port Alberni on Highway 4 - the Pacific Rim Highway. Across the road is Clutesi Marina, where fishing boats are launched to go out the Alberni Inlet to the open Pacific Ocean. Some of our sea kayaking day trips start from here. We rent Seaward sea kayaks and Rocky Mountain Bicycles. Shuttle service for Log Train Trail.
Batstar is surrounded by walking trails along the Somass River and the paved trails along Kitsuksis Dyke. This is all part of an estuary where you can see all sorts of bird life and the occasional Black Bear. 5 species of Salmon swim in the Somass. Grab lunch from Batstar Cafe & Picnic and sit on the benches and relax by the river.
