TLDR: this tour is one of the best we have had. Amazing, highly trust worthy, worth the time and effort!
We did the evening sunset tour to St James with Akilla, Shaquille and J. They were so kind and professional. Our group had one couple with e-bike experience and one couple who had hardly ridden much at all. They took the time to make sure everyone could ride their bikes well and understood the controls.
The guides took photos and videos that they shared with us and chatted along the way. We learned lots of interesting things about the beaches, animals, plants and St James on the tour. We much preferred this to the car tour we had previously taken.
We rode about 6.5 miles total. The great part about the e-bikes is that you can decide how hard you want to work. There was only one hill we had ride up each way and the highest level of the e-bikes handled it with ease. The oldest member of our group was in their 60’s and they handled it without a struggle.
The one thing I would have done differently is remembered to apply bug spray. Near sunset the mosquitos came out and I am particularly allergic to them . They had not been bothering me much at the resort (where I’m sure they are spraying for them or treating irrigation water) but outside the resort at sunset was definitely an opportunity to get bit.
All in all 5 stars (out of 5!) - if you’re considering going on this trip at all, you definitely should!
