Hawai‘i Volcanoes National Park

This guided e-bike tour moves through Hawai'i Volcanoes National Park, covering crater rims, rainforests, and ancient lava fields on pedal-assisted Specialized e-bikes. Riders pass steam vents, lava tubes, and the Kīlauea Caldera while a professional guide shares cultural stories of Pele and explains the native ecosystems along the route. The tour meets at the park Visitor's Center, or at the Hilo Pier for cruise ship passengers. Included with the tour are the e-bike, a MIPS helmet, rain gear, ride snacks, and a Big Island Bike Tours water bottle. Groups meeting the size threshold also have a follow vehicle along the route. Riders should bring closed-toed shoes and cold weather gear.

Mana Road Traditional or E-Mountain Bike Tour

Tucked away in Waimea's rolling ranch country, the Mana Road Traditional or E-Mountain Bike Tour opens up one of the Big Island's most spectacular hidden routes. This isn't your typical tourist trail - it's a 3.5-hour journey along historic paniolo (Hawaiian cowboy) paths that once served as the main cattle route to Hilo's markets. Your adventure begins at Anna Ranch in Waimea, where you'll set off on a 20+ mile ride through backcountry terrain that feels worlds away from resort Hawaii. The route climbs gently into Mauna Kea's foothills, revealing the kind of sweeping green landscapes that make this region so special. Picture rolling pastures stretching to distant ridgelines, with epic photo opportunities showcasing both Mauna Kea's majesty and glimpses of the Kohala Coast. What makes this ride special is how accessible it feels, even as you're covering serious ground. The premium Specialized Turbo E-MTBs handle the climbs with ease, leaving you free to soak in views that most visitors never see. The terrain flows beautifully - gentle descents mixed with scenic cruising that works for everyone from seasoned cyclists to adventurous beginners. Professional guides keep the pace comfortable while sharing stories about these historic paniolo routes. Waimea's weather keeps things interesting. Wind and rain are part of the experience here, but that's what makes it authentic ranch country. The tour runs in most conditions, and you'll be well-equipped with your choice of traditional or e-mountain bike, helmet, rain gear, and snacks to keep you fueled. Meeting at Anna Ranch couldn't be more convenient, and with full refunds available with 48 hours' notice (or if weather forces cancellation), there's little risk in booking this slice of old Hawaii. This is how you experience the island's ranch heritage - not from a tour bus, but pedaling the same remote trails that shaped this landscape generations ago.

Waimea to Waipio Valley

This guided bike ride begins in Waimea and heads downhill through rolling terrain toward Honokaa town, then continues to the lookout above Waipio Valley. The route is suited to leisure and recreational cyclists. A CPR-certified guide leads the group, and a support vehicle follows along in case anyone needs assistance. The tour includes a high-end carbon road bike, helmet, water bottle, trailside snack, and rain gear if conditions call for it. Closed-toe athletic shoes work fine, though cycling shoes are welcome. Waimea can be rainy and often chilly, so bringing an extra layer is a good idea. This tour operates with a minimum number of participants, so smaller groups should confirm availability before planning around it. Riders should wear athletic or cycling clothing.
