Best thing I did in Hawaii
Reviewed by: Ed, 2007/11/16After suffering through hokey luaus and the miserable submarine and magic shows, we went on this tour and it absolutely made our trip. The rainforest hike was unique, as expected. The tourguide had everything thought out for us: we were provided with rubber boots, food, water, waist packs, and water bottles.
The downhill bike portion of the day made for some great views and excellent photo ops. We took a picture of us holding hands with the entire coastline visible about 5 miles behind us and lots of ocean behind that.
The highlight of the trip was the sailing and snorkeling during which we (both first timers) played among a school of fish, got up close to sea turtles, swam to the coral reef about 25 feet down, and enjoyed a trip a mile or so offshore. As we sailed back in, we saw dolphins swimming beside the boat. We saw more sea life during this trip than during the entire submarine tour.
The tour guide was totally helpful and fun to talk to at the same time. We'd do t

Fun in Oahu
Reviewed by: Suzanne from Nashville, 2007/10/22This was one of our favorite activities in Oahu. Matthias was our guide and he was so knowledgable about so many of the things in the rain forest. Knee-high rubber boots supplied by the tour are a must. . the hike goes into the rainforest ending at a waterfall and the passage out is thru bamboo. Bike ride was easy but great scenery. Mark meet us with the bikes and helmets and followed Matthias and the group down the mountain. Lunch was enjoyable and the snorkel part was relaxing and fun with Liz and Jocelyn as our boat "captains". Matthias was with us and the first one in the water to show us sea turtles and fish. Would recommend to any tourists that have all day to have fun fun fun

hike, bike, sail, snorkel
Reviewed by: Bryan and Lisa, 2007/08/28This tour was amazing. It did everything. We loved it. My only recommendation would be to serve lunch earlier. Not eating til 2 pm was difficult. The rainforest hike was beautiful and we loved the bamboo forest. the bike ride was easy and relaxing and the sail and snorkel couldn't be beat. We saw 6 different sea turtles and they came right up to us. I have the best pictures! We have already recommended it to tons of people before we left and will tell everyone we know about it.

M.D.
Reviewed by: Ken Mack, 2007/08/16Rarely do I take the time to be a reviewer, but my family so enjoyed the bike, hike, sail, and snorkel combo that I felt compelled to give a review. The excursion starts with a high through a beautiful rainforrest. The guides were well prepared providing boots that were definitely needed for the muddy terrain, as well as mosquito repellant( A MUST!) and ponchos. My wife is recovering from ACL surgery 8 months ago and I was concerned she would not be able to complete the hike. We were able to go at a slower pace than the main group and the guides were very accomodating.
The bike ride comes next. It was very scenic and all downhill. You do mostly braking-coasting with very little peddling. Ending the day with the sail and snorkel is like icing on the cake. We got to see sea turtles up close while snorkeling!
I would highly recommend this outing and would definitely do this excursion again if/when I return to Oahu!

A one of a kind eco tour of Hawaii
Reviewed by: Tom Smith, 2007/07/20A great way to see and learn about Hawaii. The hike through the rain forest was very fun and not at all overly exerting (perfect for a vacationing explorer). The guide was very knowledgable and entertaining, offering a perfect mix of commentary, facts and quiet time for some quiet reflection.
The bike tour was also very nice, only it was too short (well, the bottom of the hill has to come eventually). Again, the guide was knowledgable and gave us some spectacular views of Hawaii.

He was professional and exuberant to share his local knowledge with us.... Out of all the outstanding things we did in hawaii, my kids said that our day with BIke hawaii was the best... Mattias is to be commended on a job very well done. The experience was even perfect for my 6 year old

Parent and teacher
Reviewed by: Nancy, 2007/06/23The trio combination of snorkeling, hiking and biking was unique. Our favoriate part of the day was the hike through the rain forest and snorkeling. The biking was OK but not at all challenging; good for the scenic view only. The snorkeling was OK, but could have been better if there was more to see i.e. aquatic life beyond the turtle. We also found it to be a bit intimidating to snorkel in the ocean, which was rather rough that day. We have snorkeled in the past in more protected areas such as coves and bays, and were anticipating something similar. Overall, if we could do it again, we would chose the hike, skip the biking and only do snorkeling within a contained area.
Thank you.

Bike and Hike
Reviewed by: tommy ramos, 2007/05/17Mike is a great guide and really knows what he is talking about. He explained all about the different types of plants, trees and flowers, and was very nice about taking photos of all the guests. The hike is a perfect level for almost anyone. It isn't too easy and boring, but it isn't incredibly difficult as well. The waterfall at the end made for a great Kodak opportunity.
The bike portion was a great, smooth ride and the views from the various vantage points were breathtaking.
A definite reccomendation!

Oahu Bike and Hike Adventure
Reviewed by: Brian, 2007/05/17The hike in the Monoa Valley was a great time. Our guide, Jeremy, made the entire experience fun and enjoyable.
The bike ride portion was a blast. It was not difficult for those that might be concerned. It was all downhill, very little pedaling required. Several stops offered great views.
Overall, anybody, primarily first time visitors, looking for a fun activity with moderate exercise will really enjoy this tour.

A great value and a lot of fun!
Reviewed by: RumTumTum, 2007/05/10If you are the outdoorsy type or just want to see and experience nature while you are in Hawaii, then I TOTALLY recommend doing this tour. You get do see so much of the beauty of the island in just one day. The hike is perfect; it is not too strenuous, the views are amazing and the waterfall at the end was a picture perfect point too! On the way back from the waterfall, our awesome guide took us through a bamboo forest as well (very Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon). Afterwards, we went on a great bike ride down a mountain road and then a great picnic lunch at the end at this cute little park. Snorkeling was the perfect ending to a fun-filled day!
