What To Expect

Get ready for one of Kauaʻi’s most scenic and adrenaline-filled experiences. Begin the journey with a guided van ride through Waimea Canyon, stopping along the way to admire panoramic views, hidden lookouts, and vibrant island landscapes. Once at the top, hop on your hybrid bike for an exhilarating 11.7-mile downhill ride along smooth paved roads.

The coast down takes about 45 to 55 minutes, with average speeds around 17–20 mph. If you’re comfortable, you can pick up the pace on the second stretch while enjoying the cool mountain air and breathtaking views. The experience is more than just a bike ride—it’s a fully guided adventure filled with history, connection, and the spirit of Kauaʻi.

Finish your journey with a magical sunset at Kekaha Beach, where golden light meets the waves of the Pacific for a perfect photo moment.
