Didn't break a sweat - Had taken us to great lookout views, took funny pictures, and the ride down was smooth. Hardly had to paddle! Tour guides were so cool and informative. Had an 88 yr old grandma in group and she was awesome. Thanks!

So much more than a bike ride! - This was a phenomenal experience. The team was fun, I'm talking extra fun, and knowledgeable, and delightful. I was looking forward to the experience and it still blew my mind and was so much more than I was expecting. Definitely worth booking!!

Friends - Friends That’s what Ernesto made us into for the afternoon. What a joy! So much more than a bike ride! From the light banter on the van ride, like warming up a crowd, our little crowd of travelers, to the subtle reminders of safety issues, sprinkled in at just the right pace to actually connect. It was the care. Ernesto cares about his island. He cares deeply, and although he is not preachy, he gets a powerful message across. Probably because he also cared about us, his fleeting charge for an afternoon. His care is contagious. With Michael as his able assistant, an arborist with plenty of his own wisdom, it was a wonderful package deal. One we will remember for a long time. Thanks Keko, ‘til we meet again!

Amazing Downhill Ride with Great Guides! - What an incredible downhill bike experience! From start to finish, the ride was breathtaking, stunning scenery, smooth routes, and the perfect mix of excitement and relaxation. The bikes were in excellent condition and the entire trip was very well organized. The real highlight, though, was our guides, Michael and Ernesto. They were absolutely fantastic, friendly, knowledgeable, and made everyone feel safe and comfortable throughout the ride. They shared interesting information about the area, kept the group together at a great pace, and made sure we all had an unforgettable time. Their positive energy and sense of humor made the whole experience even better. If you’re thinking about doing a downhill bike ride, I can’t recommend this enough. And if you’re lucky enough to have Michael and Ernesto as your guides, you’re in for an amazing adventure!

Great biking adventure! - Great adventure for moderate cyclists. Ernesto and Michael made sure our equipment and bikes fit our stature, experience and age. Safety was highly stressed. Fun on the way up with conversations and competition too! Sights were awesome.

Tour guides very... - Tour guides very knowledgeable of the area. Several stops up the canyon with breathtaking views. One of the guides is a wonderful photographer and will take hilarious pictures. I’m not an expert biker however the guides made me feel comfortable and safe on the beautiful ride down!

Cancel if it rains - We have done this excursion before and it was great. So much so that we recommended our friends do it with us while visiting Kauai. Unfortunately this experience fell way short. Rain limited us to making only one stop up the mountain. The views were misty and very compromised. Our bike ride down was very wet and rainy. We had to be very cautious because the roads were slick. We were drenched halfway down the mountain because proper rain gear is not included/provided for the riders. One person in our party had a malfunction with her bike seat and even after it was addressed by one of the guides, she still sat way too low and was uncomfortable for the entire ride down. This excursion should have been canceled due to weather. The bike ride down was unpleasant and unsafe. Overall we were very disappointed as our expectations were set high from our last experience. We would suggest that if there is any chance of rain during your excursion, cancel on your own because the operator won’t and your experience will suffer.
