Waterfall hike first and bike ride second; good combo.

Reviewed by: -PAUL-, 2023/02/19

The hike was VERY muddy! Not so much of the mud being a nuisance, as much as the slippery parts. Then cooling off with downhill bike ride with scenic views of Waikiki and Honolulu, even Pearl city. We enjoyed our time.

Great experience! 7 happy people!

Reviewed by: Berzins +, 2021/09/22

Great experience! We loved the views and the information our guide provided. Each person of our 7 person group will tell you a different favorite point. The hike was fun, the waterfall beautiful, the bike ride was easier then expected, beautiful scenery and a bit thrilling. The sail home was relaxing after snorkeling and swimming with the sea turtles.

RELAXING AND REFRESHING!!! It was great to get away from the city and feel the breeze. Beautiful scenery also.

Reviewed by: Les from Las Vegas, 2018/10/01

The only input I would have is for the lunch part. Please consider having lunch at the rest area in the beginning for restroom break as opposed to the first area. A lot more shade there. Other than that...EXCELLENT EXPERIENCE!!! Hairpin turns, breezes, guides with sense of humor...GREAT TIME!!! I am "Husky" and it did not matter....they had bikes for all types!!! Big people can have a great time also!!!

  • Great day on Oahu!!!

Downhill bike waterfall hike & snorkel tour

Reviewed by: Carmen Aponte , 2017/10/20

I really enjoyed this fun filled active day! Our tour guide, Terry, was so knowledgeable as he described the botany in the Rain Forest. He was easy going and entertaining. He took me to where the sea turtles were swimming and I enjoyed it immensely when a turtle came alongside of me and we swam together as she took 3 big gulps of air before diving down. What an honor to have experienced this beautiful living being! A super highlight of my entire Hawaiian trip!! Thank you Terry!

Awesome Adventure!!!!

Reviewed by: Brian, 2017/07/16

This tour was worth every penny on its own, but our guide ELON made it even better!

We were picked up on time and taken up into the hills of Manoa Valley and went on a hike in the rain forest all the way to the waterfall and back. Hike was not super difficult, but definitely wear shoes (no flip flops).

Next part of the tour was lunch up on Mt Tantalus and then a 30 minute downhill bike ride down the mountain. We stopped halfway down for a pretty nice photo op. The views were amazing! Must point out that the staff made sure we were very safe on the downhill bike ride.

Once we got to the bottom, we were take to the marina, where we boarded a catamaran and went out to the Pacific and snorkelled at the "turtle cleaning station" for about an hour. We saw about 4 or 5 turtles and a ton of fish. Snorkel boat also had sodas and snacks.

We were returned to our hotel around 5pm after a full day adventure.

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED and HUGE thank you to Elon!!!!!!

Hike bike n snokel

Reviewed by: Lynn Wade, 2017/02/24

Loved our guides...well informed and enjoyable. Suggestions...half sandwich not enough. Also the activities should be more accurately described regarding difficulty. Too difficult for 1 of our party. Also children under 10 should not be included as they hold up the progress of the group especially in the bike.

Reviewed by: Serenale, 2017/01/12

The whole adventure was excellent. The only tip i want to make for future hikers is to make sure you apply extra mosquito repellent on your hike. Besides that, this is a must recommend.

Reviewed by: Emi, 2016/12/05

I want to thank you for a wonderful excursion. My nephew and I did the bike, sail, and snorkel in August. Vacationing with a 12 year old and keeping him entertained was not easy, but this trip was PERFECT. He really enjoyed the activities and the guides were thoughtful, creating a safe environment for him. I personally enjoyed seeing the honu! Hopefully, we can do it again with the entire family next year. Thank you again!

Great Experience

Reviewed by: Aaron, 2016/09/20

We all had a wonderful time and learned a lot about the island, plants and the culture of Oahu with Terry. We highly recommend the trip. It is a rustic hike to the beautiful waterfall, but very worth the hike, even in the rain and mud And our bike ride down the mountain had gorgeous scenery and was wind through your hair fun. We saw several sea turtles and different varieties of fish on the sail and snorkel on Captain Krash's catamaran. He was fun to sail with and Rudolph was very knowledgeable about the snorkeling as well as giving helpful knowledge about the island and city.

We loved the downhill biking! It went by really quick, but we did enjoyed it. Wouldn't recommend it on its own, since it went by so quick. But in combination with the snorkelling was fantastic! Guides are very knowledgeable and respectful of the area. Swimming with turtles was a unique experience!

Lazy fun

Reviewed by: The Moops, 2016/07/30

Beautiful and interesting hike through the lush rainforest but not at all physically challenging. Really enjoyed the hike but the downhill bike part was so boring! The guides pretty much wrapped us in cotton wool, they wouldn't let us go any faster than 5 miles (and it was purely downhill road, no cycling required!), and they kept stopping us for one reason or another. I'd recommend the tour though, the scenery was great and the guides knowledgeable and nice.

Aloha and mahalo for your comments. We find it fascinating how some guests find our waterfall hike difficult and others see it as a walk in the park. Either way, thank you for spending some of your Hawaiian vacation with us.

Great way to see Ohau

Reviewed by: Bob R. , 2016/07/11

This was a great adventure. Plan for the better part of the day. The hike seems odd at first because you start in a neighborhood. But once you are on the path it is a beautiful journey. It was a it rushed which was disappointing as it was hard to enjoy the surroundings and go fast. The bike ride was a lot of fun with awesome views of Diamond Head and Waikiki. The last part,snorkeling with Sea Turtles, was the absolute best. They are amazing creatures and would surface right next to us. When scheduling, ask for Elon. He did a great job for our group. Also, Terrii was an excellent tour guide when he joined us.

Fun day

Reviewed by: Bob R. , 2016/07/01

This was a lot fun and a good way to see different part of Ohau quickly. The hike through the rain forest to the waterfall was interesting. There were things you don't see in other parts of the world. It is not an easy hike. Be prepared for strenuous activity. The bike ride makes up for it. It is all down hill, beautiful views and a wonderful spot to stop, eat and take in the view. The Bike Hawaii staff are outstanding. They quickly become friends and are genuinely focused on your enjoyment and safety. The last experience, swimming with sea turtles was just the best. The turtles are not afraid of humans and will surface next to you. You can't touch them but one came so close it almost touched me. We stayed out there a long time and really got to enjoy them. This was a great day and lot of fun. It is an all day experience so plan for it.

The tour guide, Mike, made the trip!

Reviewed by: Mai, 2016/01/22

Mike, our tour guide was very informative and made the trip exciting for us.

My husband and I did not finish all three activities due to too much sun exposure. It was exhausting. We did not go snorkeling, however, the hike was interesting (I'm not an outdoorsy person) and the downhill bike was the our personal favorite. Next time, we will do it again, but I can go without the hike.

  • This is the beautiful view from the downhill biking excursion.

Great view of natural Hawaii

Reviewed by: Tom L, 2015/10/27

Mike was an excellent guide. I have been to Hawaii several times for work and, in this case, had stayed an extra weekend with my wife. We had a great time. Mike was very knowledgable of the local geological history and botanical environment. We even got to see a dart frog which my local friends from Hawaii were amazed that we got to experience that. And the bike ride was a great finish to the day. The hike was definitely muddy but worth slogging through the bamboo to get to the waterfall.

Hike & Bike Trail

Reviewed by: shar, 2015/09/01

Amazing experience!
My dad and I did this adventure. You can really appreciate the nature of the hike. It was a lot of obstaclews getting around, but there's a lot you can see that you cant see anywhere else. I got tons of misquito bites during the hike, but so worth it! Matt was our guide and was very kind and knowledgeable. The bike trail was beautiful! Was able to see the whole view of Waikiki.

Highlight of my vacation in Hawaii!!

Reviewed by: Tami, 2015/06/14

This was the highlight of my vacation in Oahu. It was very well organized. We were a group of about 7 adults and 5 kids (mostly 9 year old)). The van picked us up on time and drove us to a privately owned rain-forest. Our tour-guide was extremely knowledgeable and patient. The hike wouldn't have been the same without his interesting facts. The hike itself was easy (even for the kids) but can get slippery/muddy. I would recommend using the rainboots they offered.The time went by fast; it was a nice break to be outside in a totally shaded area. We were later joined by more kids (12 kids total) and grown ups for the downhill bike ride. At first it seemed intimidating, but the tour guides did an excellent job in making sure we were safe (there was a van behind the group that alerted the guide upfront if any cars were coming by). The lunch provided (sandwiches) was delicious. The snorkeling part was my least favorite (for personal reasons...I just couldn't get the hang of it...first timer). I would recommend wearing the swimsuits underneath the hike/bike clothes, that way you don't have to change on the boat (crammed).

Enjoyed getting off the beaten track, the hike is fairly easy, but expect to get a little muddy. The bike ride takes you up into the hills above the city so you get a great view out over Waikiki and Diamond head.
