Amazing
Reviewed by: Michelle, 2013/11/16These guys a re amazing! Jeremy picked us up on time, drove safely to get us to the top of the mountain, and then guided us down before feeding us a tasty and healthy lunch, and the. Took us us to the most amazing rainforest I have ever seen. There was no other hikers to have to negotiate around! It was a highlight of our trip! A must do in Oahu. My parents and Aunty and uncle were with us and loved it also. We could stop and take as many photos as we wanted because there is no rush!

Awesome
Reviewed by: Brian, 2013/08/04This was probably our favorite thing we did in Hawaii. Matteus (sp?) took us on an amazing jungle hike and even took photos along the way. We ended up and an awesome waterfall that you could never find on your own. The downhill bike ride was fun too, despite the pouring rain.

Great day
Reviewed by: Dennis, 2012/11/01This was a very very fun day. We got married on Thursday and spent Saturday on this tour and couldn't have asked for a better day. The guides were very knowledgeable and interested in our taking away a lot from the experience.
A word about the exertion level, the hiking is the most strenuous part of the day, but done at a pace that almost anyone can easily match. We are in our 50's and in good shape for our age and never felt pushed or overly challenged. That said, you'll know at the end of the day you had done more work than sucking down cocktails at the hotel pool.
Just do it.

Awesome adventure!
Reviewed by: Llama23, 2012/10/22I didn't know what to expect when I booked this tour since I was going solo. The staff is very friendly and on time. The first part of the tour is the hike up the Manoa valley 5 miles south of Waikiki. Highly recommended to wear long sleeves and pants if you don't like mosquitoe bites. The hike itself is fairly easy. Very doable for any age. The trip to the waterfalls itself is more enjoyable than when you get there.
The second part of the tour is the 5 mike downhill bike ride. I know, it sounds more daunting than it is. I haven't bike for almost 20 years but got the hang of it right away. You won't really need to pedal much as it is mostly downhill, rather you will need to use your brakes a lot. Fantastic view of downtown Waikiki and Diamond head crater.
Overall, I would highly recommend this tour to anyone looking for some adventure outside of the beach. Great experience!!!

Great fun - needs some tweaking
Reviewed by: Jenny, 2012/10/07This tour would have gotten 5 stars but for the tour guide whom we thought was not very good.
It's a 6 hour tour, comprising a hike through the jungle to Manoa Falls, and a bike down the Tantalus road with the spectacular views of Honolulu.
Pickup: was on time and easy in a minibus.
Boots: We had to prebook boots to trek the muddy trail, I booked boots from Australia (different size to US) and asked co. to check my sizings. Mattias, the guide, threw boots off car roof and random people took them to try. He didn't know whos boots were whos. Two of my family's boots were split letting water and mud in, defeating the purpose. My boots were taken by someone else, and I was left with too small boots. Mattias said I didn't book 'womens' size. ?? huh??and was unconcerned with my problem.
Trail: We were given water and trail mix, and a waist bag, and insect spray, which I thought was great. The trail was on private land and The jungle walk was lovely. It was extremely muddy, but had

Awesome !
Reviewed by: Vicky & Bryce Cooper, 2012/07/22Book this tour - if you love the outdoors and want a 'real experience' you will not be disappointed.
The bike ride is a great way to see the sights and is very relaxing. The bikes are very easy to ride and is mostly downhill.
The Hike allows you to get out of the concrete jungle and commercial centre of Waikiki, but be warned this is not a gentle 'stroll' this is a decent bush walk around 2 hrs, so make sure you read the recommended 'what to wear' list that is on the voucher. You will walk through a real rain forest and learn about the unique forest of Oahu along the way, so don't let a little mud scare you.
The boat ride and snorkel is a magical way to end an action packed day. Gear is provided. It was refreshing that the boat was not packed to capacity, and again was a 'real' experience. We swam with turtles and then sailed back to the marina, this was also a great way to see Waikiki from the water.
This was a very refreshing tour and a highlight of our trip. It was gre

Rain Forest Hike is MUDDY!
Reviewed by: Clara, 2012/07/06I wish there had been a more specific statement regarding the hike that you may get very muddy! They did have rain boots but you needed to have high socks so you wouldn't get blisters.
I didn't have the socks so ended up wearing my tennis shoes - there was no avoiding the mud - I had mud up to my knees - mainly from splashing - mud wasn't that deep.
There were lovely flowers and going in the midst of a banboo forest was amazing. We did see a poisonous tree frog - beautiful bright green and black.
The bike ride was a breeze literally and the half way stopping point has an amazing view of Honolulu!
The catamaran was a lot of fun - they knew exactly where the turtles come to get cleaned up by the fish - we saw 3 different sized turtles.

One of the highlights of my trip
Reviewed by: Marc Lubowiecki, 2012/04/19My wife found this trip online and thought it would be fun. Was she ever right about that. The bike ride was outstanding. The staff was great, making sure that everyone in the group was comfortable with the bikes and ready for the ride. It was an easy downhill trip, but the views were awesome. After the ride and some lunch we headed off to hike. This was my favorite part of the day. The trail was a bit tougher than I expected, but it was so worth it. Mattius, our guide, made the whole trip so much fun. Hiking through the rain forest to the waterfall was just beautiful. The trail through the bamboo forest was awesome as well. I can't recommend this trip highly enough. I will be spreading the word to all of my friends who plan to visit Oahu.

Oahu Bike and Hike Tour
Reviewed by: Perry Klahr, 2011/07/28My family (wife and 2 teenagers & I) did the bike and hike tour last week. Our excursion lead was Mateais and he was very knowledgeable, friendly and somewhat entertaining with his canned one liners that he's been working on for quite a while. The tour started with a bike ride (mostly downhill) in a very scenic neighborhood with great view of downtown and into the valley. The hilight of the tour was the hike into the rain forest. It was quite a kick being able to get lost so close to civilization on a path that not many people have been on. The hike was not strenuous and the rain forest definitly lived up to its name. Recommend you wear the rain boots they offer as its is very wet at times and muddy in parts. The path was scenic taking you through deep brish, through small streams, up to an isolated waterfall and then through a mile long stretch of a bamboo forest. The kids & I enjoyed doing something unique on Oahu and they have told me this was one of the hilights for them and some

Best activity in Oahu !
Reviewed by: Alicia & Steve, 2011/06/26My husband and I did the hike bike tour with Jeremy and it total exceeded our expectations! Not being olympic athletes, more like weekend warriors, we were a little apprehensive about the hike. It was amazing! He paced it well. He
stopped to let us taste some of the local plants and to point out the rare foliage in the rainforest. Our return hike included a rare trail through the dense bamboo forest. Absolutely amazing!! Finishing the day was a relaxing down hill bike ride with some of the most amazing views of the island. Would recommend this activity highly! Oh by the way, wear old hiking shoes/sneakers it is very muddy in the forest.

Great fun!!
Reviewed by: rick, 2011/03/08If you like outdoor activites, this is the one for you. The staff was friendly, efficient and made the excursion fun for everyone. The hike through the rainforest was beyond my expectations. Hike up to a 200 ft waterfall and back down through a bamboo forest. Great fun! Finish with a relaxing downhill ride on a mountain bike stopping for lunch on a hill overlooking waikiki and diamondhead in the background. A great change of pace from the usual beach/shopping activities on Oahu. Take my advice and do this excursion.

What a Treat
Reviewed by: Stephanie, 2011/01/14If you only have time to do one hike while in Hawaii, I suggest this one. Hiking through a rainforrest is something you'll never forget. Part of the hike is on a path and part of it your guide is creating for you, Our guide Mattias is very fun and knew all about the history of the area.
The bike ride was an adventure and thank God DOWN HILL! Your so busy concentrating on the road you don't get to see much of your surroundings, however we did stop for lunch at a beautiful overlook of the city.
This adventure is highly recommended, but only if you don't mind a little mud.
Thanks for the good time!!!

AMAZING EXPERIENCE
Reviewed by: Mike, 2010/06/20Our bike and hike tour was amazing. I wish I could rate this higher than 5 star. Matis (sorry for the spelling) did an amazing job along with the other guides. Everything was done 1st class from the pickup to the drop off. I just wish on our 1st trip to Hawaii in 2008 that I would have discovered this. The views were picture perfect. We were given plenty of time to take pictures, relax, and have a great time. This was definetly the best part of the trip.

Hike/Bike/Snorkel-Sail
Reviewed by: JayandAdrienne, 2009/06/17Staff is very friendly. Jeremy and Kalani (I prob spelled his name wrong) were very knowledgeable, helpful. There was and older gentleman on the hike who had issues with heat exhaustion, and Jeremy even took off his t-shirt to help the man, that maybe shouldn't have been on the hike in the first place. It was great that we had the same two guides during throughout all three excursions. There are only two things they don't tell you before you go. One is that the hike is a real hike, not just a stroll through the woods, and bit challenging for someone who would become winded from climbing stairs. lol We were able to do the hike with no problems, but its just a word of advise. Second there is only one port-a-potty available at the beginning of the day, so make sure you go before it starts. But don't worry you will sweat out most of the water lol. You won't have access to another bathroom until the start of the snorkel. Other than those few surprises we had a wonderful time and everythi

Bike, Hike, Sail & Snorkel Tour
Reviewed by: Patti, 2009/06/10Great day of events. For me the sailing portion made the day very long. I would not recommend all three in the future.
The hike and biking experience was awesome. Some of the guides on the boat were not as friendly or welcoming as I experienced on my other excursions. Kind of put a damper on an otherwise good experience.

Hike and Bike Ride
Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous, 2009/04/09The hike was wonderful, something different from the beach. The guide was informative and we had an enjoyable time. However, the bike ride was rather slow. We were accomplished bikers and had to wait many times for slow people to catch up. It would have been more fun if they had divided the group up and let the fast ones go,go,go.

A good time for all
Reviewed by: Theresa, 2008/06/19We did the all day activity and it was terrific. My husband and I took our 17 yr old son and 10 yr old daughter with us and even they had a good time. My daughter liked the hike, especially the mud, and my son liked the bike ride down. We all enjoyed the snorkeling. We saw 3 giant sea turtles and a couple different types of fish. I highly recommend motion sickness pills if you aren't use to a boat ride. Our guide Jeremy was the perfect guide. I would definitely recommend this activity to families.

Well worth it
Reviewed by: Larry, 2008/05/31Our family did the Hike, Bike, Sail and Snorkel Tour and had a great time. It gave us a great blend of three different ways to see the island - hiking the rain forest, biking down the mountain (getting a GREAT view of Diamond Head and Waikiki during our lunch break), and snorkeling just off the coast.
Our tour guide, Jeremy, was fantastic. He was very personable and knowledgeable. My 10 year old son, enjoyed hiking and biking right by Jeremy and asking a TON of questions. And Jeremy did a superb job of answering all of his questions, never being bothered by them.
My family would definitely recommend this tour (all three parts) to anyone.

We would say to everyone to is going to Oahu this is something you should take time to do. I do though recommend that it be for older kids as the younger ones slowed the group down. But it was a fab day. Thanks Jeremy!!
