1.Hawaiian Food Tour by Bike in Oahu

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 206 reviews · 4 to 5 hours (approx.) · from $189Our pick

Join Kelly from Bike Tour Hawaii for a four to five-hour food-and-bike tour through Waikiki, Kaimuki, Kapahulu, and Diamond Head. Bikes, helmets, water, lunch, and five to six tastings are included. Expect an easy-paced ride, local history, and enough food to replace a meal.

“We thoroughly enjoyed our tour with Kelly! I would definitely recommend this tour to others.. you rode for about 7 miles and hop on & off throughout the afternoon. The trip is 5 hours, so you definitely want to be comfortable on a bike for this tour. The tour was from 1-5 pm, so a considerable amount of time. We learned a lot throughout the tour thanks to Kelly wearing a headset and attaching Bluetooth speakers to each bike. We visited 5 food shops and got plenty of food at each stop. Kelly took 140 photos of our tour and air dropped them to us at the end of the…”

3.Kualoa Ranch: Novice E-Bike

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 128 reviews · 2 hours (approx.) · from $140

Ride about six miles through Kualoa and Ka'a'awa valleys on a quiet Yamaha pedal-assist e-bike. Your guide leads four or five stops for scenery, ranch stories, and film locations. The two-hour tour suits confident bike riders age 10 and up, but it still requires steady pedaling.

“The ranch is absolutely beautiful. The novice level mountain bike experience was more or less tourist history and Hollywood tour VS an actual mountain bike experience. You should change mountain bike tour to an e-bike tour since you are riding on gravel and paved roads. You also could have saved a ton of money on purchasing e-bikes at 2k$ vs electric mountain bikes at 10k$. I would be nice to be able to purchase a private mountain bike tour instead of being with a large group. Think it would be rad if you offered 2 separate tours, a historical Hollywood tour and also offer more of a mountain bike tour…”

“The Private eBike Diamond Head Ride and Hike was a terrific way to check the box on one of the 'must do' Oahu activities for a first time visitor. Our host and guide Ryan did a wonderful job leading us to the Diamond Head trail with stops in between at viewpoints or local points of interest. He acted as chief photographer for the entire tour so we could have a photo record of day with both of us in the photos rather than just one of us. Ryan even hiked with us all the way to the top of Diamond Head to take photos. On the bike ride on the…”

★★★★★★★★★★4.9 · 28 reviews · 4 hours · from $199

Ride from Waikiki to Manoa Valley on a modern e-bike, then hike with your guide to Manoa Falls. Ryan leads small groups of up to six, using helmet intercoms so you can hear trail and island stories while riding. The four-hour tour includes water and guide-taken photos.

“The tour was perfect. The bikes are new and in great shape (and we have done a lot of e-bike tours so we can tell you these are the best bikes) and the tour guide Ryan was awesome. He doesn't go too fast or too slow with bikes and reads the skills of the group very well. Also had something we've never seen before which is helminths with an intercom system where we could all talk while riding. That was priceless because he could give information to us while we were on the move. The hike up to the Falls was somewhat rigorous so if you are in shape that's…”
