Waimea Canyon Bicycle Downhill Outfitters KauaiThis fun and exciting Kauai bicycle tour is a cruise through Koke'e State Park and Waimea Canyon State Park. We'll be riding from the rim of the famed Waimea Canyon (el. 3600') down 12 miles of smooth winding blacktop all the way to the shore of the blue Pacific. It's 100% downhill, and 100% fun!
Do the earlybird Kauai bicycle tour: you can coast at the crack of dawn, or, cruise it at the end of the day. The earlybirds'll be blessed with soft low angled light that draws out the colors of the canyon-spectacular! You won't be snoozin'-you'll be cruisin'! An "in-flight" beverage service of fresh-brewed Kauai Coffee and blueberry muffins hot out of the oven as we ride up in our van is included.
If you're not into the early bird thing, try our late afternoon Kauai bike tour- you'll still enjoy the same low angled light for accentuation of the canyon's rugged terrain, only from the west rather than the east. Shadows and colors jump out with soft, brilliant greens, reds and purple highlights- it's amazing! In addition, the forbidden Island of Niihau is visible off to the west. We serve cold soft drinks, spring water and Kauai Cookies.
Comfortable helmets and safe operating procedures make for a ride that's safe and controlled, but still fun and exciting. We'll be riding through one of the most beautiful and interesting places on the planet, so of course, we'll stop along the way for photos and narrative on history, culture, folklore and legends. We'll get hands-on and identify native plants, birds and trees. You'll be able to quiz your guides about the best Kauai hiking trails located in Koke'e State Park and Waimea Canyon State Park while you're in the area. As well as having a fun ride in a beautiful place you'll learn about what makes Kauai special!
