Squamish Discovery Eco-tour

Excellent tour of Squamish!!! Thank you Christian!!!

Excellent tour of Squamish with Brent who made us both feel very comfortable on our first use of e-Bikes. The bikes were a doddle to use and may even persuade me to get one myself! The length of the tour was just right for tired legs :). We were very lucky to have a private session with just the two of us. Communication from Brent was also excellent after an accident prevented us from attended at the booked time. Would definitely recommend for anyone wanting to have a great tour of Squamish and learn about its history. Only shame for us that it was the day before we left so weren't able to use many of the recommendations Brent provided. Thank you!

We had an amazing time!!! We laughed so much and loved the tour. Our guide was hilarious and made the whole adventure!

It was a great experience and well worth the drive from Vancouver to see this beautiful place. Our guide was great and gave details about the town while taking us to a lot of beautiful sites. I had never ridden an e-bike before but made it a fun and easy ride.

We had an amazing time on the Eco E-Bike Tour with Christian in Squamish! He was incredibly knowledgeable, professional, and fun to be around. Christian tailored the ride perfectly to match our abilities, guiding us through beautiful trails with just the right level of challenge and excitement. His passion for the area and for biking really came through, making the whole experience both informative and a total blast. We couldn’t have asked for a better guide or a better day. Highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Squamish!

The guide knows alot about the area and the sights you will see on the ride. They are funny and have lots of cool stories to tell. The experience was great over all.

I was fortunately to do the guided e-bike tour this past summer with both owner/guides Christian and Brent. I was really impressed with their knowledge of the area and all of the different environments we rode through. Even though I've lived in the area for 14 years, Christian and Brent should me tons of locations I've never seen. I definitely recommend this tour, even for people with little biking experience.

Fantastic tour, fantastic guide, fantastic way to learn all you need to love this spot of BC. Thanks Brent! 2.5/3 hrs tour on easy off-road trail, accessible to everbody who knows how to ride a bike :)

Christian was brilliant. He was passionate, knowledgeable and great with our 12yr old son - giving him great encouragement and making it a memorable holiday experience for him. Could not recommend Christian and his tour highly enough.

Excellent bike ride and tour through Squamish. The trails went from paved to gravel to mountain biking style keeping it fun and interesting. The guide was a long time local and pointed out so many unique things. We loved the bikes too. Comfortable and powerful when you needed it.

Blazing Saddles is a top notch outfitter. Christian, our guide was very knowledgeable and patient throughout the tour. We thoroughly enjoyed the experience!

Best way to see the area. Great bikes and great scenery. Got to see the animals and plants up close. Tour guide goes at your pace. It was a hot day but the ride was still very comfortable because of the forest canopy.

Best memory is Brent looking over his right shoulder to describe to us the river, estuary, trees or history of Squamish. We saw tree roots where a bear could hibernate. So amazing, so fun and so educational. Not too long, not too short. Just right!

It was fun! He is very informative. The bikes are pretty cool, they make the ride decently easy. Lots of cool sights and history to see and learn about

Brent was so patient with my aunt who was nervous to start, he set a great pace and we had the best time! The bikes are so powerful it was effortless and so much fun. The trail was stunning with breathtaking views and we had perfect weather. Just the most perfect day.

This is a fantastic tour to get off the beaten track and see the local side of Squamish. Brent our guide made the tour so much fun and was so knowledgeable about the local history and nature. He was also very helpful making recommendations for other local beauty spots. The bike ride takes you through some beautiful natural scenery. A must do tour!

Brent took us on a fantastic 2.5 hour e bike tour of the trails around Squamish. It was our first time on an e bike so we didn't know what to expect, but it made the journey so much easier! We are not the fittest and were able to fully enjoy the experience without feeling worn out. Brent took us around some beautiful areas, going into detail about the local area, landscape and wildlife. We got to see so many different parts in and around Squamish, and although it was a rainy day Brent made sure we barely got wet because we were covered by the forest so much. It was a fantastic experience - if you get the opportunity to spend time in beautiful Squamish, make sure you take an e bike tour with Brent. You will not regret it!

I really wanted to do some sort of bike-activity whilst we were in Squamish considering it's so popular but was a bit concerned I'm not very fit or confident, however I had no need to be worried as Brent, our brilliant guide, was friendly, encouraging, and knowledgeable. We used e-bikes which I'd never used before but were great for helping with hills / when I didn't have the extra oomph needed / confidence. We explored parts of Squamish we never would have known existed otherwise and saw some amazing views and landscapes. We learnt a lot from Brent who explained all about the environment we were in and also give us advice for our next few days in Squamish. Brent also stayed at a good pace so I didn't feel pressured to go faster than I was comfortable which was really appreciated! I loved this bike tour and would highly recommend it to anyone considering it! It's even made me want to buy an e-bike now I'm home :D

It is a great ride to see all the various ways that the town of Squamish has done to protect and share their lovely environment with you. So much to see. The ebikes allow you to see so much of the area with little effort.

The guide, Brent, was amazing. Due to cancell actions, I was the only one who went on the excursion. Brent was very attentive to my needs and abilities and was very knowledgeable and personable. Gorgeous scenery. Great time!

The bikes were so fun and easy to use. We were able to travel so far in just a short time to see so many beautiful places in Squamish. The tour guide was funny, enthusiastic and knowledgeable. We had an amazing time and would definitely recommend!

What a wonderful time my family and I had yesterday with Blazing Saddles Adventures. The ride was fantastic! the electric bike made it even more enjoyable, it it a huge plus. The scenery was breathtaking from the moment we started the ride ... we were surrounded by mountains, rivers, birds singing, the forest, and all that in the company of Brent, the best guide ever! This is a tour I highly recommend anyone, regardless of their fitness level.

My day started with a warm and enthusiastic welcome by Brent. Thank you. It was a spectacular, informative and invigorating experience. The ebike was superb, easy to ride. Not one glitch. The varied range of scenery was sublime. Brent is an exceptional guide, letting you know in advance what to expect. I felt safe and was encouraged along the way. I value the knowledge gained about Squamish, plants and bears on this journey. I will return! Lasting comments: FUN, BREATHTAKING, REJUVENATING

Wow!. What a wonderful, fun and safe adventure!. I have never been on an EBike before and I felt very comfortable. Our guide Brent was so knowledgeable and made the tour very interesting!. We saw so many Squamish trails and beautiful spots!. I highly recommend this experience. It does not disappoint!.

Now that is what Squamish has needed for a long time - e-bike eco tour for all. We went out on Sunday and it was a great day. Excellent, friendly guide with lots of local knowledge. Tje bikes were sweet. The terrain was easy with many beautiful views. This is excellent for tourist to take in or anyone local who doesn't get out to see our mountains and trees and the seas. A perfect family outing as well. This was fun. Try it. Thanks guys, I'll be back. Kent.

What an amazing experience! The bikes where fun and easy to ride. Our guide was super knowledgeable with fun facts along the way. With every beautiful view point he would point out and name mountain ranges and waterfalls. I would highly recommend Blazing Saddles Adventures. Was an exceptional experience.

We had the pleasure of touring Squamish with my family this spring. Brent was our guide at Blazing Saddles Squamish for the two hour+ e-bike tour. Incredible afternoon escape with our family and a taste of the outdoors. Brent was extremely knowledgeable of Squamish and the inspiring terrain, wildlife and history. Our 3 kids (8 ,11, 13) loved the scenery, trails and stories ! Our favorite part of the trip were the trails through the coastal rain forest along the Squamish estuary were our kids searched the ocean horizon for a potential glimpse of Orcas spotted in the Howe Sound earlier that day. We loved everything about the tour from the guide, trails, amazing countryside and scenic mountain tops. Thanks to Brent for his expert creation of a unique outdoor family tour.

My family of 5 had an amazing afternoon touring Squamish with Blazing Saddles. Our guide Brent was not only full of knowledge for my wife and I who have lived in Squamish for 14 years, but hilarious too! We rode trails we didn’t know existed and saw parts of Squamish that were hidden gems. The riding abilities of our kids (15,13,11) range from expert to novice and everyone was comfortable with the brand new ebikes. We would like to have included my wife’s 75 year old Mother as she would have easily kept up and enjoyed a family activity that was safe, accessible to all and most importantly right now, perfect for social distancing. Thank you Brent and Blazing Saddles for a great afternoon. We will be recommending this to all of our visitors and our local friends to experience!

The bike tour was amazing! Brent was an excellent, friendly, knowledgeable guide. It was my girlfriends first taste of off road biking, Brent took us around some nice trails, nothing gnarly, but a perfect mix of scenic single track with stop offs for excellent views. The high spec E-bikes rode like a dream and made any minor uphills easy to conquer, and allowed us to cover a fair distance. We saw lots of wildlife, but unfortunately no bears this time. Highly recommended, Thanks!!!

This tour is an awesome way to get out and experience the beauty of Squamish. From the forested river side trails, a glimpse of downtown, and the peaceful ocean views of the estuary with the amazing mountain backdrop, this really proves that the west coast is the best coast!!! ;) Brent was an great guide that made me feel very comfortable on my first ebike experience, those things are a lot of fun! Would 100% recommend to visitors and locals.

My parents in their 60s came to visit me in Squamish and I was looking for an activity that would help them discover the area while respecting their fitness levels and outdoor experience. I was impressed with the impeccable customer service I received. Our guide Christian was well organized, reliable and went out of his way to make my parents feel safe and at ease on the e-bikes. All the equipment provided was top of the line gear and was well maintained. The itinerary was just long enough, and took my parents along some of the lesser known trails of Mamquam and the Estuary, which offer some of the most picturesque sights in town. Along the route, Christian shared interesting insights about Squamish and its natural surroundings. Even I, a local, learned a thing or two! He taught skills in a way that did not feel overwhelming to them and often offered options for a little extra challenge along the way, which made them feel proud and excited while remaining safe at all times. This tour was a wonderful little adventure and I highly recommend it!

Brent was a great guide! Very experienced and knowledgeable about the area, bikes and local wildlife, and made us feel comfortable with his friendly demeanour. This was a brilliant way to get to see the local area, and places we wouldn’t have known about otherwise. The ride was such fun! It wasn’t too challenging on the E bikes, suited my level of fitness not having ridden a bike in a year or so but would also appeal to more regular cyclists as I imagine Brent will go at whatever pace you like. I’d definitely recommend it and would love to go on a similar tour again. No bears on this ride but we enjoyed seeing the eagles and spawning salmon. Don’t hesitate to book! Thanks Brent!

Brent was very nice and knowledgeable during the whole ride. He put my backpack in his car which was great because I didn't have to carry any extra weight, it was just me and my phone for pics! Plus a water bottle Brent had prepared for me and was attached to the e-bike :) I'm from Montreal and up until now my biking experience was limited to the city and the city parks. This was a bit more wild than I expected but I was still able to manage and Brent was always making sure I was doing ok and feeling safe. It probably felt "more wild than expected" because it was my first biking-out-of-a-city experience, but in retrospective the trails were pretty easy and riding in a forest was for sure AMAZING. The e-bike performance was great and the sightseeing was even greater. I also loved all the info Brent shared with me about the ecosystem and the animals we saw. We saw a bald eagle, some salmon fighting for their lives (people fishing... lol) and had a very weird encounter with two freaking black bears!!! Brent totally kept his cool and his first instinct was to protect me, he managed the whole situation and made the bears go away. I was obviously a bit scared but at the same time it was so amazing to see two bears from like 6-7 meters away! I think the bears were more scared of us though LOL. Do note it's very unlikely this would happen to everyone... Brent said it was the first time he ever saw bears on that trail and he's been in Squamish for 23 years so... Don't get your hopes up xD When we got back I decided to finish my trip with some ice-cream from a cute little place in the store complex were we met (not sure how to call it but it was nice hip gathering of cool places to eat and cool stores). Anyways I had ice-cream made from real fruit which was really yummy and a perfect way to cool off after the 2h ride. I would recommend you finish the ride the same way hehe. Overall a great experience and I would recommend it. Thanks for everything Brent!

This was an amazing experience. We are long-time Squamish residents and Christian showed us places we'd never seen. The bikes are amazing and Christian is a knowledgeable and super-enthusiastic guide. This was a fantastic tour for the whole family.

Even though I live in Squamish I had no idea of the phenomenal beauty hidden within the area until Christian took our group out on the Eco Tour. In just a couple hours we saw parts of Squamish that you'd never get to view by car or even on foot. I couldn't believe I live here! I was blown away by the changing landscape. Christian was a fantastic and fun guide with no shortage of interesting facts on the area. And to top it all off, I got to ride my first e-bike. I am by no means a "mountain biker" but this bike made me feel like I could ride anything, super easy and super fun!
