Our ohana (family) has been sharing Hawai`i with visitors since 1948, when my father Ken Alford began playing Dixieland music in Waikiki and giving malihini (visitors) suggestions on where to go and what to see on the island. Despite the passage of time, our original commitment to visitors from around the world has evolved into the legacy that leads our company today. As an avid hiker and mountain biker since I was young, I wrote and published a comprehensive trail book entitled “Mountain Biking the Hawaiian Islands” which has helped riders from around the world find the best trails in Hawaii that are open to bicycles.
As a locally owned and operated company and founded in 1998, Bike Hawaii Tours operates with required State of Hawaii permits and license agreements for access to private lands that many times is exclusive to our company. Our passion is to assure our guests experience picturesque beauty and breathtaking adventures at locations that are unknown to most visitors. From lush volcanic mountain ridges, towering waterfalls, verdant valleys and exotic ocean reefs, our adventures lead you on an unforgettable journey from the rainforest to the reef.
Whether your exploration is by E-bike, mountain bike, cruiser bike, hike, or sail and snorkel, your day with us is certain to be a highlight of your lifetime travels. All of our adventures are designed with your flexibility and value in mind: you can experience them individually, over multiple days, or capture up to four adventures in one day. You will also experience the genuine pride we take in caring for each guest through exceptional service and hospitality.
As you review our collection of Rainforest to Reef adventures, if at anytime you have a question, feel free to reach out to us directly by calling us at 808-734-4214

Meet Daniel. He has always loved the natural environment. He has been a dedicated eco-tour guide since 2013. He also enjoys yoga and spending time immersed in the blue Pacific Ocean. On his days off, you can find him hanging in his hammock at the top of the mountains somewhere.
Meet Makai (lit; towards the ocean) and while he is found typically playing in the ocean, he is just as comfortable hiking and biking in the mountains. You are sure to enjoy a day out with our youngest of the staff members.
