Ride Malibu’s Backbone Trail on an electric mountain bike, with technical singletrack, ocean vistas, and a scenic break near Sandstone Peak.

About this tour

Trade the city for rugged singletrack and wide-open ocean views on a Malibu Electric Mountain Bike Tour. This 180-minute ride follows the Backbone Trail from Encinal to Yerba Buena Road, near Neptune’s, with a certified guide leading the way.

Expect a varied route: technical sections and flowing trail wind through lush forest, climb along mountain slopes, and open onto panoramic views of the Malibu mountains and ocean. The group pauses near Sandstone Peak for a short break and scenery across the Malibu Buttes before looping back toward Encinal Road. The final stretch follows a canyon-side singletrack, with fast flow and high berms reminiscent of a bike park.

Ride on a 2025 Specialized Kenevo Expert electric mountain bike, with premium gear, a helmet, eyewear, protective pads, and snacks provided. A moderate fitness level is needed, and the tour is not recommended for travelers with certain health concerns. Book your Malibu Electric Mountain Bike Tour for a guided ride through some of the area’s most striking trail scenery.

How this score is calculated

This score is based on one provider. Viator rates it 5.00 from 3 reviews. We place that rating among all Viator ratings and weight it by its review count. If the tour is found on another provider later, both ratings are combined.

How the score works and rating distribution in Santa Monica
  • Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.
  • Listings on different providers are combined in proportion to their review counts.
  • Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
  • The result is shown from 0 to 10: this tour scores 7.3. Top 31% in Santa Monica means it ranks in the top 31% of tours in Santa Monica by this score.
