What to Expect

Your tour begins at 1:00 PM at the Kuhio Beach Hula Mound beneath the iconic banyan tree, where you'll get fitted for your e-bike and helmet. This adventure combines a scenic 10-mile e-bike ride with a 1.7-mile hike, offering the perfect mix of active exploration and immersive storytelling.

After a quick safety briefing, you'll ride out of Waikiki, crossing the Ala Wai Canal, a vital waterway that channels mountain-fed streams from the valley above. As you cruise through Honolulu’s ever-changing landscape, your guide shares rich narration via Bluetooth speaker, covering everything from ancient Hawaiian settlements to modern-day cultural shifts. Expect photo-worthy stops along the way.

Along the route, you'll pass landmarks from President Obama’s childhood, including his first job at Baskin-Robbins and his former school, the historic Punahou, a prestigious private academy founded in 1841.

From here, the tour shifts gears, literally and figuratively as you roll into the cool, green embrace of Mānoa Valley. Here you'll experience a shift in scenery and temperature as the city gives way to rainforest.  You'll park the bikes at Lyon Arboretum, a 200-acre botanical garden bursting with rare and native flora. Then it’s time to stretch your legs on a 1.7-mile roundtrip hike through lush rainforest terrain. As you ascend the forest trail, surrounded by towering bamboo and birdsong, you'll reach the stunning 150-foot cascade of Mānoa Falls, one of Oʻahu’s most iconic natural wonders. The hike offers a true Jurassic Park moment (fun fact: parts of the movie were filmed here).

After soaking in the sights, you’ll coast downhill to Manoa Marketplace for a well-earned, healthy lunch. The final leg winds through the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa, offering insight into Hawai‘i’s academic history and its role in shaping local culture.
