Full Day Adventure..

Posted on: 2013/02/20

I was expecting to see items of interest that we couldn't see from driving the park in a car. This was not the case, we only passed through one area that was not accessible by car (but a short hike would have taken us there).
Bikes need to be tuned. I mountain bike fairly often and our bikes' shifting was poor. All bikes had Grip Shift. My partner's bike was very bad and she fought the problem the entire trip.
Overall I think that the bike ride was not worth the money.

Bike Volcano guided bicycle tours take place on paved roads and trails. There are 2 off road paved trails that we cover on our bicycle tours. Yes, you could have chosen to hike or drive your car around the National Park. However, you would not have had the full sensory experience of exploring the points of interest by bike, while exercising, and exploring a large area with an Interpretive Guide and a support van to return you to your point of origin. Safety is our highest priority. All of our bicycles undergo a daily and regular maintenance tune-up schedule with a Profession Bicycle Mechanic. We always carry spare bikes in case a bike problem develops on tour or in transit. You or your partner could have alerted our Bike Guide or Driver that you were having a bike issue so that we could have issued you another bicycle. Lastly, Bike Volcano offers the lowest priced guided bicycle tours of the National Park. We appreciate your comments and strive to approve our service.
