"Everything is taken care of. You just show up, ride, and make memories."
Begin The Adventure
An ECAT tour is a fully managed, all-inclusive adventure. From the moment you arrive at the meeting point to the moment we drop you off on the way home, the only thing you need to focus on is the ride. Here’s how it works:
Our team takes care of the planning, logistics, navigation, meals, accommodations, fuel stops, and daily scheduling so you can immerse yourself in the experience. Every route has been carefully selected to showcase the best scenery, backcountry roads, mountain passes, and hidden destinations the region has to offer. Along the way, our experienced guides provide local knowledge, riding tips, and support to ensure every participant feels confident and comfortable, regardless of skill level.

The ride was a great experience. The guides were knowledgeable enough to know how to adapt the route to the abilities of even the newest riders would definitely do again.
Literally the best experience that I’ve ever had on 2 wheels. This was the 1st guided adv trip for me. I didn’t quite know what to expect. I was amazed by the friendliness and preparedness of the staff. The food and equipment is top notch and the rides were outstanding! A plus I highly recommend

When you register, you’ll complete a gear sizing questionnaire (jacket, boot, helmet, and waist sizes), a riding ability assessment, and the required liability waiver and medical fitness confirmation. Riders must hold a valid motorcycle endorsement, permit, or license.
If you have your own adventure bike, you’re welcome to bring it (a trailering fee applies and a discount is given). Training classes are also available for riders new to the KTM 390 Adventure R in advance of the trip if desired.

Meet your group at the designated meeting point and travel together to the Launch Hub via passenger van (or self-transport if you prefer). Your first evening includes an ECAT-provided dinner, a trail briefing for the next day’s ride, a safety and operational introduction to our bikes, typically the KTM 390 Adventure R. Get to know your fellow riders — by the end of the week, they’ll be your crew.
