Good to know
Know before you go
Youth tickets begin at age 12, with adult and senior bands through age 85. Expect moderate effort on the bike and the climb. You need to handle cycling as well as the climb, and pregnancy or spinal injuries make this unsuitable.
Wear light clothing and covered shoes for riding. Your helmet is supplied. A phone or camera fits in the handlebar bag, so you can keep those items stowed while cycling between the coastal stops.
A vegetarian taco is available if requested when booking. Other choices include fish or chicken. You eat after the hike, with lunch included in the outing rather than a separate restaurant booking to arrange yourself.
The tour operates in all weather conditions, though severe weather can cause cancellation. Your clothing needs to suit the day. Traffic can also alter timing, so the advertised duration isn't a promise of an exact return minute.
One reservation takes one to eight people, while the tour group can reach ten. Your booking is accepted immediately. Keep your mobile ticket available for the meeting at Kuhio Beach before the cycling starts.
A cancellation made at least 24 hours before departure receives a full refund. After the deadline, you can't recover the payment. Your own change of plans falls under that cutoff even when the weather looks unappealing.
