Portsmouth (US), USA

2 hours 15 minutes (approximately)
Offered in: English

This is our most popular experience and an easy tour along the river, through islands, and into the heart of coastal New Hampshire.

You will pedal along the quiet streets near the Piscataqua River and the Atlantic Ocean while exploring Portsmouth’s islands, stopping at historic sites and riding along the quaint streets of New Castle Island.

This tour is built for travelers who want to move a little, explore, and feel the coast and harbor beneath their wheels.

You’ll ride through island routes and along lively harbor edges, passing working docks, quiet waterfront stretches, and classic coastal neighborhoods. The route keeps you close to the water and constantly changing scenery, creating a sense of momentum and discovery the entire way.

With a knowledgeable local guide leading the way, you’ll venture beyond the obvious viewpoints and into places most visitors never reach — hearing stories of the harbor, the islands, and the maritime history that shaped this coastline.
