Tour Details
Bike, Hike, Sail, and Snorkel Adventure (Full Day)
We'll begin the day experiencing the majestic beauty of a 35ft double-tiered waterfall, crossing through tranquil streams and viewing lush tropical vegetation of Hawaii's paradise. This mild to moderate 2-mile round-trip hike lasts roughly 1.5 hours with a 100-foot elevation gain.
Then we'll drive up to Puu Ohia near 2,000 feet in the Koolau Mountains. After gearing up, we'll begin coasting 5 miles downhill on comfortable cruiser bikes over the paved road through a lush Oahu rainforest. Stopping at different overlooks, our nature tour guides will point out places of interest and geological features from high above Honolulu and Waikiki.
Once we reach the bottom, hop on a quick shuttle to Kewalo Basin, where you will be dropped off to board the 38-ft catamaran (please note you will need to return to Waikiki on your own).
Our sailing catamaran has twin 140 horsepower engines and a Bose sound system, making for a relaxing adventure off beautiful Waikiki. Learn about the Hawaiian reef and see Waikiki, Honolulu, and Leahi (Diamond Head) from a very different perspective. Swim or snorkel in the warm waters fronting Waikiki Beach as we search for honu (green sea turtles) and tropical reef fish. Nai'a (spinner dolphins) are sometimes seen playing off the wake of our catamaran. Seasonal Kohala (Pacific humpback whales) are usually seen between December through April.
Complimentary drinking water and a freshwater rinse is available for your convenience. Listen to smooth Hawaiian music and soak in some Hawaiian sun. This tour is family fun too! Even the kids will love it. The catamaran is fully equipped with two onboard restrooms, necessary life jackets for kids and adults, masks, snorkels, and swim fins for optional swimming.
Please Note: The complimentary transportation is one-way only. You will be picked up for the biking and hiking tour and dropped off at the catamaran, where your tour will conclude. You may choose to walk 2 miles back to Waikiki or catch a 10-minute taxi ride at your own expense. If you are a cruise passenger traveling from the port or if you are staying at a hotel outside of Waikiki, please enter "Aloha Tower Marketplace" as your departure location. This is not a transfer tour. The tour does not drop off at the airport, and the tour vehicle cannot accommodate luggage. Guests are advised to bring their own snacks and lunch.
