“This E-bike tour and hike to Moana Falls was great with Ryan, the actual shop owner! He told us so much about the history of the area along the way and took lots of pictures of us, which he later downloaded and sent to us. Neither of us had ridden E-bikes before so he had us practice and get familiar with the bikes before heading out. The scenery was beautifull and though the hike was a bit challenging for us, Ryan had provided walking sticks and was great at traveling our pace and stopping to rest when we needed to. Highly recommend this company and tour. We saw several people…”

“We were a little bit late to the gathering point at Diamond Head and the shuttle left. Lucky we found another driver of the local tour company nearby and swift special arrangement was made for us. The early pick up helped us to move fast and get a good place for seeing the beautiful sunrise. It was too rush for us and failed to send tips to the staff. I feel sorry about that.”

“The tour was perfect. The bikes are new and in great shape (and we have done a lot of e-bike tours so we can tell you these are the best bikes) and the tour guide Ryan was awesome. He doesn't go too fast or too slow with bikes and reads the skills of the group very well. Also had something we've never seen before which is helminths with an intercom system where we could all talk while riding. That was priceless because he could give information to us while we were on the move. The hike up to the Falls was somewhat rigorous so if you are in shape that's…”
