eBike Tour Honolulu Rainforest

This was an awesome e-bike tour riding through the rain forest! The views were fantastic over looking Waikīkī! Our tour guide John was filled with wonderful stories of the area, he was professional, helpful, and friendly! The course begins with all up hill and the second half is all downhill. With the power motor assist we had no problem going up. It was easy to pedal. Very beautiful ride!

We had a fantastic picturesque ride with a wonderful guide Mikai. I would recommend this as a must do.

My family of 4, 40s, 16 and 14 had a great time on this bike ride. Our guide, Maki, was wonderful. He was very knowledgeable about the island, funny, and kept a great pace for us. We really enjoyed the views, changing environment, the knowledge gained through Maki. If you’re in good shape and enjoy awesome scenery, this is the adventure for you. It’s 5 miles uphill on bikes that require pedaling, so you need to be in ‘okay’ shape. The 5 miles downhill was our favorite part as we were able really fly down the mountain!

Don’t get me wrong, the guide was great, the ride was great BUT we’re still waiting on the pictures that the guide said he’d email us, 4 months ago. I’ve followed up twice with no response.

I am super active but had never been on an ebike. It is perhaps the coolest concept I've come across. The bikes were super smooth and the harder/faster you pedal, the more it assists. I was so tickled! Our tour guide, Ian, was also great. Born on Maui, he came to Oahu to attend college, so he has a lifetime of authentic memories of the state and knowledge to share. The total elevation gain was about 1,000 feet, but felt flat as a pancake with the ebikes. The views of Lē' Ahi (Diamond Head) along the ascent were great, with each one better than the last until you finally reach the summit and are rewarded with the most were awe-inspiring view you'll ever see. I cannot recommend this tour enough. Do it, and it may just be the highlight of your trip!

This was our fourth trip to Hawaii over the years and we'd already done the historical stuff. Also not a fan of crowds or shopping or drinking. I found this eBike tour on Viator and it was fantastic! John is the owner/guide and led us on a 10 mile loop through the hills of Maikiki Heights, above the city. Although on paved roadway the whole way, going through this forest preserve area felt a world away from the hustle and bustle below. And the views - STUNNING! Waikiki, Diamond Head and the Pacific beyond. After the tour, I appreciated the granola bar and free ride back into town, so we did not have to wait on an Uber. We had a great time! One bummer, that worked itself out, was that the time for our tour was changed from 9:30am to 8:00am. I did not notice that until the night before. As we were not getting into port until 7:30am, I was nervous about it. But I reached out to John and told him we would do our best. My husband and I hustled that morning and were the very first two people off the ship and grabbed the first taxi. Plenty of time!! The main thing that annoyed me was the other couple on the tour. Definitely not in John's control at all, but wanted to mention it as an aside. I do not know if they were influencers or not, but behaved as if they were the ENTIRE ride!! Selfie sticks while riding, stopping and taking specialty photos A LOT, posing in a zillion ways to get the 'perfect shot' for IG, etc. It made us have to stop far more often than was already planned and wait for them to do their thing. If anyone wants to do a tour for this purpose, they should book privately and not hinder those wanting a relaxing outdoor adventure. Thanks, John, for a great tour! Definitely a highlight of our stops on the islands!

Our guide, Michael, was very good. The bike ride was beautiful. The bikes were nice. They picked us up and dropped us off at our hotel.

Don’t be fooled by the “little effort required” in the description of this bike tour. The first half of the ride is uphill and there is constant effort at pedaling required by the rider. The e-bike gives little assistance. My friend and I only made it up 1/4 of the way before we had to turn around. Then we had to wait an hour for the guide and 1 other guest to return to the starting location. Definitely not what we expected when we signed up for an e-bike tour. The only reason I gave them 2 stars is that we appreciated the many pickup location options offered and our tour guide was very friendly and outgoing.

Great ride E-bikes made the climb easy and doable Great views interesting history

Definitely a great way to spend the morning. You do have to pedal but the ebike makes the trip so much easier. Our tour guide Maiki made the trip fun by providing local history as we trekked up the path and through the rain forest. Spectacular views.
