Explore the Waikiki ahupua’a “From Rainforest to Reef” on this spectacular full-day eco-adventure with Bike Hawaii Tours. Or click here for the Half-Day tour.

This moderate 2-mile round-trip guided hike is a great opportunity to explore Hawaii’s lush tropical rainforest, experience tranquil streams and view a stunning Hawaiian waterfall. Join us on a guided waterfall hike on private property as we explore lush tropical vegetation of Hawaii’s paradise, tranquil streams, a picturesque pool and a secluded 35 ft waterfall with ocean views of windward Oahu.

Then, we’ll shuttle you up to Puu Ohia near 2000ft in the Koolau mountains. After gearing up, we’ll begin coasting 5-miles downhill on comfortable cruiser bikes over 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, it’s a quick van shuttle to Kewalo Basin where you will be dropped off at the catamaran. (Note: our complimentary transportation ends here. You will need to provide your own transportation back to Waikiki after the sail. Waikiki hotels are 2-4 miles away). With its twin 140hp engines and Bose Sound System, we’ll board the 38.6ft Kahala Kai catamaran and set sail on the blue Pacific Ocean on 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 kohola (Pacific Humback whales) are usually seen between the months of December through April. Complimentary drinking water and a fresh water rinse is available for your convenience. Bring your camera, swim wear and towel. Listen to smooth Hawaiian music from our Bose Sound System and soak in some Hawaiian sun…

This 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 and comes with masks, snorkels, and swimfins for optional swimming.
