Kelly is a great guide and the tour is interesting. The bikes each have a speaker attached to them so you can always hear what he's saying. He takes lots of pictures and gives them to you at the end of the tour so you don't have to worry about missing anything. This tour is a great way to see Honolulu.

Book this tour…it’s top notch! Kelly is super knowledgeable about the area and has a wealth of history & local information to share. You get to explore so many different parts of the city that you would likely never otherwise come across on your own. He even builds in fun snack stops to try unique fruit in China Town and a delicious uniquely-Hawaiian doughnut, too. So much fun and well worth the money. I’d suggest doing this early in your trip so you have more knowledge of downtown and can also take advantage of some of Kelly’s local dining recommendations while you’re in town.

My teen daughter and I did the Historical Honolulu Bike Tour and we loved it! The tour was a great way to get oriented to Honolulu and see parts of the city we would have otherwise missed. We enjoyed hearing about the history if the island, tasting local produce, and seeing the important sites. Kelly was a fantastic guide who knows the island very well.
Mahalo for your review. Kelly has a strong passion for his job, sharing the past, present, and future with guests. Bike Tour Hawaii looks forward to leading you again in your future vacation experiences. Aloha from Paradise.
Kelly was super knowledgeable about the area, current and its history. It was obvious that Kelly had a passion for his customers safety and enjoyment during the entire trip. He was positive and funny throughout the journey. I would strongly recommend this tour with Kelly!
(Thank You)= Mahalo for your review. After 45 years of living throughout the Hawaiian Islands, Kelly has found his place in the vacation experience industry. Guests like yourself make every day an amazing experience, leading bike and e-bike tours here in paradise. We look forward to your next Hawaiian vacation.
Really enjoyed my bike tour with Kelly! He took me through parts of the city that I hadn’t seen, including a fruit market in Chinatown. I learned so much about life on the island and its unique culture, as well as the history you would expect on a city tour. The pace was casual and time was built in to really absorb the environment. The aspect that I most appreciated on this tour is the way Kelly facilitated engagement with locals that we encountered on the street, from Kevin, a friendly man who was feeding fish at a pond to e-cyclists en route to work. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone who thinks that the best way to discover a city and its residents is on a bike! Mahalo, Kelly!
Aloha LarryPat, Mahalo nui loa for taking the time to write such a thoughtful review! 🌺 Reading about your experience—from tasting fresh fruit in Chinatown to connecting with friendly locals like Kevin—is exactly what Bike Tour Hawaii is all about. Kelly takes huge pride in crafting an easygoing pace that lets our guests truly connect with the heart and soul of Honolulu, not just the usual tourist spots. Seeing the city and its community on two wheels really is something special, and we’re so glad you got to experience that magic with us. Thank you for riding with us, and we hope to welcome you back for another island adventure in the future! 🚴♂️ Warm regards, Bike Tour Hawaii
Trip was worth the price. Kelly was a knowledgeable and friendly leader. We saw many sights and enjoyed the exercise. Recommend it anyone who likes to bike and learn.
