About this tour

Mountain bike through nearly 100 acres of working ranch land behind the historic Anna Ranch Heritage Center in Waimea. The 3- to 3.5-hour guided ride covers approximately six miles with a 1,200-foot climb from the ranch, crossing Kohakohau stream and ascending into the rolling pastureland above town. At the top, a snack stop rewards you with panoramic views of Mauna Kea, Mauna Loa, and Hualālai - three of the island's five volcanoes in a single frame.

Choose between a full-suspension mountain bike or an electric-assist e-MTB - the pedal assist takes the edge off the climb so you can focus on the scenery and trail. Experienced riders who want more can opt for a second lap. Your guide starts with a brief introduction to the ranch's history and the legacy of Anna Lindsey Perry-Fiske before hitting the trail.

The tour includes your bike, helmet, water, a trailside snack, and rain gear if needed. Meet at Anna Ranch in Waimea - park in the middle lot with views of the Kohala Mountains and look for the Big Island Bike Tours sign. The ride can also be booked as a private experience for families or groups.

Do I need to be an experienced cyclist to join the Anna Ranch mountain biking tour?

Riders of all experience levels can join this tour, thanks to the availability of electric-assist mountain bikes (e-bikes) for those who want extra support on the climb. The route gains nearly 1,200 feet in elevation over approximately 6 miles, so the e-bike option makes that challenge manageable for less experienced or adventurous riders. Expert riders are not left wanting either - the guide can arrange two laps of the route for those seeking a harder effort. Before heading out, your bike is sized and adjusted for you, and the guide conducts a basic safety assessment to make sure everyone is comfortable and ready to ride.

What gear and equipment is provided on the Anna Ranch biking tour?

The tour includes a full suspension traditional or electric-assist mountain bike, a helmet, water, a trailside snack, and rain gear if needed. All of this is provided as part of the experience, so guests do not need to bring specialized cycling equipment or worry about being caught unprepared by a change in weather. When you arrive at Anna Ranch, your selected bike will already be sized and adjusted so you can do a practice ride before the group heads out. The guide is CPR-certified and accompanies the group throughout the entire ride, offering support and local knowledge along the way.

What can I expect to see and do during the Anna Ranch mountain biking experience?

The tour starts with a brief introduction to the history of Anna Ranch and the legacy Anna left behind, then the group rides across the Kohakohau stream and climbs nearly 1,200 feet to a snack stop with views of Mauna Kea, Mauna Loa, and Hualalai. You can also hear the flowing stream from this spot, making it a natural rest point mid-ride. The total riding distance is approximately 6 miles, though the elevation gain makes it feel considerably longer. The tour lasts between 3 and 3.5 hours in total, and the meeting point is Anna Ranch Heritage Center in Waimea, where you park in the middle lot and find the Big Island Bike Tours headquarters building on arrival.

Can I book the Anna Ranch biking tour as a private experience for my family or group?

Yes, Big Island Bike Tours offers a private option for this tour so your family or group can enjoy the ride on your own schedule without joining other guests. To arrange a private booking, you need to call the operator directly at (808) 769-1308 for details and availability. A private tour can be a good fit for groups with varying experience levels, since the guide can tailor the pace and format - including the e-bike or traditional bike choice and whether expert riders do two laps - to suit everyone in your party rather than a mixed public group.

What is the cancellation policy for the Anna Ranch mountain biking tour?

Guests receive a full refund if they cancel at least 48 hours before the tour is scheduled to begin. If the operator cancels due to weather or other unforeseen circumstances, guests also receive a full refund in that situation. To cancel or ask about a cancellation, you must contact the operator by phone rather than through any other channel. It is important to note that no-shows are charged the full price, so if your plans change, reaching out by phone within the 48-hour window is the key step to securing your refund.
