“We were picked up by our bike guide, and drive about 5 minutes before pulling over on the side of the road for an entire hour. Got picked up at 12pm, sat on the side of the road until almost 1pm. “Waiting for another guide to show up” when he finally did show up we headed on our way. The biking was nothing special for 100$ a person……the bikes were not well maintained. The snorkel group / sail was fun. Personally I would just book this separately and skip the scam bike ride all together……. Really wish I could get a REFUND for my bike ride. We sat there for…”

2.Downhill Bike and Ko’olau Waterfall Hike Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 45 reviews · 6 hours (approx.) · from $196

Start with hotel pickup, then ride a five-mile downhill route through Pu'u 'Ohia rainforest and the Honolulu Watershed Forest Reserve. Add a guided 1.5-hour waterfall hike for muddy trails, native plants, and island geology. Guides such as Ray, Daniel, and Jeremy are known for lively local insight.

“The tour guides were fantastic providing some great information on the area. The bike ride was just as it was advertised, very little pedaling. Prepare to do a lot of braking on the trek down winding countryside. We had a great time. Would definitely recommend to allow for a lazy morning before spending the afternoon on this tour.”

4.Manoa Falls eBike to Hike

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 3 reviews · 4 hours · from $169Best value

Ride from Waikiki on a communication-equipped electric bicycle with a guide, pass Honolulu neighborhoods and Mānoa Valley microclimates, then hike through rainforest to Mānoa Falls. The four-hour trip includes water, snacks, lunch, park entry, and guides in English, German, Korean, or Japanese.

“The tour was great! The tour guide (Kelly) was very informative and the falls are beautiful (bug spray highly recommended). However the cafe we stopped at was not very nice, Kelly did say it was not his normal go to cafe but the one he uses was close due to it being low season. I would definitely book this tour again.”
