SEE WHY PEOPLE EXPLORE WITH US!

Did this mountain trail hike with my three teenagers and my husband. Even though it says “Little hike” it was a challenging 2 1/2 mile trail though beautiful Hawaiian flora. Our guide Ryan was perfect. He made the hike fun and I felt very at ease with him leading the group. It was an awesome experience of nature run by a business whose whole point is to preserve and protect the integrity of the area. Would recommend for families with older children who are looking to connect with the natural beauty of Hawaii!

Great Hike for beginners. Ryan was our guide and was extremely knowledgeable and helpful. Plan on coming back for a more advance hike.

This was an awesome excursion for our family! We did the Wild Boar Tour which included rides through the forest and off-roading. Ryan was very informative, engaging, and made the trip super fun. Highly recommend for teens and young adults. One suggestion - don't wear good clothes. We had two shirts ruined from the dirt that stained. Otherwise, highly recommend!

Great hike through an area not open to the public. The mountains above Haleiwa were so beautiful and natural. Ryan , our guide, was great : very knowledgeable and engaging with all five of us. I think this hike would be very challenging for someone that isn't physically active and also for people that aren't confident with their ability to climb and hold onto ropes and tree limbs. But it was Fantastic

What an awesome experience we had four wheeling in the mountains around the North Shore. Our guide Keoki was exceptional, shared lots of information about the history and culture of the islands and ensured we had a safe experience. The scenery was spectacular and the mud and rain added a sense of adventure to our tour. Totally recommend!

• Byodo-In Temple
• Waimea Valley

• Tropical Farms (The Macadamia Nut Farm Outlet)

Will I see a waterfall?

The flow of the waterfall depends on rainfall. So the size or if there a waterfall at all depends on if it rained recently and/or how much it has rained recently. There is no guarantee the waterfall will be visible at Waimea Valley (especially during summer)

Is there a lot of walking on this tour?

The trail to Waimea Falls is about 3/4 of a mile and takes approximately 30 minutes. It is paved the entire way, with gentle hills. There are several gravel paths off the main corridor, for more adventurous walkers to explore all our botanical garden collections. According to Waimea Valley Website

Waikiki Pickup (7:20 am – 8:00 am)

Our shuttle will arrive at 7:20am for pick up in Waikiki, with a local guide to help you prepare for a day of exploring the island of Oahu. Pick up times vary by hotel and will be automatically assigned when you input your information into our online booking platform.

Diamond Head Lookout

The first lookout we visit is an elevated view perched on the eastern side of Waikiki’s famous Diamond Head Volcano, This lookout grants us a great opportunity for pictures of the south eastern coastline of Oahu, with notable sights as far as Hanauma bay and Maui on a clear day. The location is more formally known as Amelia Earhart Lookout, known for where bystanders gathered to watch Earhart make her first solo aviation journey from Hawaii to North America.

Halona Blowhole

Molten lava tubes from volcanic eruptions that occurred from Oahu’s Koko Head crater formed the natural occurrence known as the Halona Blowhole. This lava tube extends into the ocean with a very narrow opening at the top, and when the surf is just right, water pressure builds up within the lava tube and erupts through the narrow opening creating a special Hawaiian Geyser for your viewing pleasure.

Makapuu Point

Witness Waimanalo’s dramatic sea cliffs as we turn into Oahu’s windward side as we begin our journey to the North Shore of Oahu. Look off into the azure blue waters of the bay and you will see Oahu’s famous Manana Island also known as Rabbit island due to its Rabbit like shape.

Hawaiian Coffee and Macadamia Nut Tastings

After a beautiful drive along Oahu’s eastern coastline, our next stop is a local shop that finds itself tucked away under aged Banyan Trees with macadamia nut and delicious Kona coffee tastings, along with very tempting Hawaiian chocolates amongst other treats.

Chinaman’s Hat and Kualoa Valley Mountain Range

Chinaman’s Hat, also known as Mokolii, is nestled right next to the Kualoa Valley Mountain range. This location is known for its dramatic landscape filmed in a number of Hollywood movies; most notably and fan favorite Jurassic Park. The island has earned the nickname Chinaman’s Hat from its resemblance to the straw hats that the Chinese immigrants wore when working Oahu’s sugar plantations during the early 1900’s.

North Shore Shrimp at Fumi’s Kahuku Shrimp

Sit down on the North Shore and have a delicious shrimp plate at Fumi’s Kahuku Shrimp! They have six different shrimp plates to eat! The most popular is the mouth-watering Spicy Garlic Shrimp and the Classic Butter Garlic Shrimp. Fumi’s also has Chicken Katsu if Spicy Shrimp isn’t your favorite! Veggie Noodles are available as the vegetarian option. So there will be something for everyone to eat! All Lunch Plates come with a side of rice and a slice of Pineapple. Bathrooms and Handwashing are accommodated as well. Please Bring Cash as this is the only “Cash Only” stop on the tour. We will remind you on the tour but try not to forget!

Tropical Fruit Stands

After lunch we make a stop at North Shore tropical fruit stands, which offers ice cold coconuts to drink from, fresh mangos, and other tropical treats.

North Shore Sunset Beach

A change of pace from the crowded beaches of Waikiki, The famous Sunset Beach on the North Shore offers tranquility and is the epitome of a beautiful Hawaiian Beach. However don’t let the summer months fool you, during the winter months, swells of 30 to 40 feet can be seen from the safe confines of shore.

Hawaiian Green Sea Turtles and Snorkeling at Turtle beach

Honu is the Hawaiian name for our beloved Green Sea Turtles. Our Honu are very Hawaiian in that they are native animals and love to lay on the sand and bask under the warm sun. We take you to Turtle Beach where we spend 60 to 90 minutes looking around for Sea Turtles and enjoying the golden sand! A certified Lifeguard will be on duty. Our Lifeguards are trained and will make sure you are safe! We will also provide snorkeling gear so guests can go for a swim and hopefully snorkel alongside a Green Sea Turtle as well. Snorkel Gear Rental is included in the price of the tour. Please alert your guests to bring sunscreen and a towel. (Snorkels are not necessary to see turtles as they can be visible from the beach.) Changing Rooms and Showers are also at the beach.

Lastly it is important to know that while we can swim with the turtles and appreciate them from a distance, we can not touch, pet, feed, tease, or harass them and we must try to keep 10 feet away from them so they feel comfortable. We want our Honu to keep coming to their turtle sanctuary, so it is very important to show respect and Aloha when we go into their habitat!

Dole Pineapple Plantation

A historic pineapple plantation home to pineapple magnets, pineapple t-shirts, pineapple keychains and most importantly pineapple ice cream aka Dole Whip!! A great way to end the day and get some pineapple themed souvenirs for your friends and family back home.

Drive-by to Kahala, Sandy Beach, Waimanalo, View of Koolau Mountains and North Shore Beaches.

Waikiki Return (Approximately 4:00pm to 4:30pm  – depending on the traffic.)

We offer a range of unique experiences which are dependent on the time of day. Choose below to learn more about our many Maui tours.

We at Haleakala Bike Company/Bike Maui/Haleakala EcoTours are devasted by the recent Maui fires and the loss of businesses, homes, and lives.  Our own Maui Adventure Cruises was lost in the fire, but that doesn’t compare to the livelihoods that have been destroyed as a result.

MAUI IS OPEN

More livelihoods are at stake as tourism continues to be wrongly discouraged to the Island.  We love, support, and respect our West Maui ohana, and do discourage for the time being visiting the devastated area.  However, Kihei, Wailea, Upcountry, and Central Maui are still open.  Please support those families by visiting Maui, respecting the situation, but still supporting the locals and the jobs of those in the unaffected areas.   Lahaina is closed, but the rest Maui is Open and needs your help/business.  Lahaina Strong, Maui Strong.  Mahalo!

My family and I did the road to Hana full tour with Roger as our tour guide. We LOVED the tour and were beyond impressed with Roger’s knowledge, humor, and overall thoughtfulness. He truly cares about the island and shares the beauty of it with the tour guests.

Had a lovely day on the road to Hana with mine host Scottie Joe. He was great fun and you can tell he really enjoys his work. Explained the whole concept of Aloha and island culture for us visitors. Brekky and lunch included. Perfect scenery and multiple stops. Recommend for a good day out.

My boyfriend and I did the road to Hana tour and it was excellent. We really enjoyed the knowledgeable driver, Scotty Joe. He let us stop at the beach in Hana and it was the perfect place for lunch. We stopped at a lot of great places along the way. My only recommendation for improvement for this tour is make the breakfast a little more ample. But the breakfast spot was great.

My husband and I got married in Hawaii, we took this tour, we loved, it was amazing. Scottie Joe the tour guide was entertaining and very nice, we had a good time. Highly recommend this tour company, they picked us up in the hotel, took us for breakfast and they brought lunch and snacks for us.
