Self Guided Tours

Our self-guided bike tours offer a balance of support and freedom to explore. Your bikes, accommodations and luggage transfers are arranged, and a route and day-by-day itinerary are planned.  Self-guided bike tours have more flexibility in your daily schedule but both guided and self-guided provide experiences you don’t get from the window of a train or rental car.

Our Guests Say...

Our family of four (including two teenagers) had a great day with Laurel and John on a private tour around Campbell River. After speaking with Laurel on the phone the day before to make arrangements, we felt as if she had really listened to what type of tour we were looking for, as the day seemed to be customized just for us and was absolutely perfect. We especially enjoyed John’s knowledge of the area and Laurel’s treats along the way. Cherry pit spitting in the waterfall and swimming in the river were very fun. We felt really spoiled at the lunch stop when Laurel had ridden ahead and setup a table with real linens and real stoneware, glasses and cutlery for a delicious (and super filling!) lunch on the beach. The service provided to us was excellent and we can’t say enough about how pampered we felt. We would have no hesitation in recommending Island Joy Rides to anyone. It was an awesome day!
