Not something you do everyday! I would do it again.

This is a really fun experience. You take a van that seats 12 up the canyon and then bike down it. It can be fast going around curves that can be 90 degree angles, but super fun! Im 63 and managed quite nicely! After stopping for photo ops part way down in a few locations, you end up riding to the beach to watch the sunset and enjoy water and a snack. Our guides were Isaac and Kevin, who were both a lot of fun, super informative, and made the trip a super delight! Highly recommend this adventure!

This was indeed fun but nearly an hour to get to the starting point and all in a fully packed 15 passenger van with poor ventilation was not enjoyable. The bikes were worn out looking beach combers, although did have very good disc brakes of course. Expected a bit better bike for the ride being all down hill and at time fast. The guides were colorful and fun, just not sure of all the historical facts about Kauai were correct. One fact I'm sure of from them, you can live off Spam and Ramon with a pinch of Soy sauce for 1 a day. :

This was an amazing excursion. Keith and Zach were our guides and they made sure we were safe and comfortable the entire time. They also provided some history and even a little botany._br/_ The bikes are beach cruisers and they keep several spares available in case there are any issues on the ride down. They give you a little practice run before you get on the road in order to test your bike riding ability as well as let you feel what the bikes are like._br/_ You don't have to be terribly physically fit because mostly you are gripping your brakes as you fly down 12 miles of paved road. Although there was traffic coming up the hill while we rode down, no one ever passed us going down the hill which might have been because we had the early morning excursion. We liked in the early morning excursion because the weather was perfect without being hot. _br/_ The guys provided coffee and great blueberry muffins for the drive up which took about 45 minutes . If you get car sick, I'd suggest sitting closer to the front of the van because we were in the back row and its definitely a twisty road. I generally don't get motion sick, but even I was a little nauseous on occasion._br/_ It is a great trip and I'd suggest it to anyone looking for some time away from the beach and the opportunity to see some wonderful landscape. _br/_ The guys were also very good about pointing out local gems for food and sightseeing. They even swung by the coffee plantation by mutual agreement of all of us on the tour. They really want you to have a good time and it shows. Zach and Keith are very laid back and easy to interact with. They are super knowledgeable And have great anecdotes to tell on the drive up. Above all, your safety is key and they keep the tour size relatively small, which makes for a better, more specialized experience._br/_ You won't regret taking this tour.

The Canyon is breathtaking and the down hill run is a hoot. The leaders correctly emphasized safety, especially important for novice riders. My only criticism is that the number people exceeded the capacity of the van used to transport the riders to and from the site.

loved the bike ride. The day we went the weather was wonderful, beautiful and breathtaking scenery. If I go back to the island I will do this tour again.

I enjoyed this tour much more than expected. So much fun. Literally we coasted, well, braked, down the canyon. It was exhilarating. I recommend this for a different type of tour. Scenery was breathtaking.

The guides where great once we got out of bus and on the bikes. During bus ride to top of trail/road, they talked a lot but I sat in back of bus and could not hear what they said. Bikes very. Comfortable. They correct, only part of body that got any exercise were the hands using the breaks. Whole trip down hill. Was fun ride. They would stop and give a lot of good island info. Very few scenic sights off the road so found that a little disappointing. Overall was happy with it, but I really enjoy being on a bicycle.

Fun trip, great guides, something to get off the beaten path if at a meeting.

This was a great trip with Muppy and Ryan - nice and cruisey not a rushed or hectic tour. They also have great knowledge of the local area.

What a fun experience! The bicycle trip was very well organized, the guides well-versed and expert in their fields._br/_ The bike trip is a great family event...mostly downhill, making the need only to brake the bike to slow it down and some flat riding._br/_ The day starts with a trial for each of us on the bikes, then we travel 40 minutes to the top of the canyon, stopping to take in some views and photos along the way. Once we get to the top, the bikes are unloaded and you begin your descent down, stopping regularly along the way. You travel close to 12 miles in a bit over an hour or so. Fun for all!!!

Great ride, excellent crew.
Review by: John G, October 2016
Ryan and Dee ROCK!!! Okay, so you know its an easy ride downhill on a cruiser bike. But if you want to really see the canyon and you do, on this tour, someone else drives you to the top at sun rise and you get the 360 view you want riding down on the bike. But even better, Ryan keeps you entertained the entire trip while at the same time giving you an excellent flavor of Kauai history and culture with timely tip ins by Dee. Then Dee after a brief trial period reorganizes the group, allowing the more experienced riders to the front. Then the last few miles, she lets those with the need for speed actually to the descent! Exhilarating and Awesome. A to Ryan and Dee!!

Great to do for something different. Downhill so anyone that can get on a bicycle can do this. Gorgeous view. If you get cold quickly take a sweater or light jacket.
Review by: James P, July 2016
The canyon view was gorgeous and the bicycle ride was an easy one. We easily could have driven to the canyon lookout by ourselves. My wife and I had thought and hoped to actually get into the canyon and this trip does not accomplish this._br/_ However, the guides were friendly and informative, and the trip itself was worthwhile. The trip is unique and worthwhile.

Pretty good. Decent if your looking for something relatively relaxing to do in the afternoon. Nice views but just know that a lot of the biking route does not have a view of the canyon. You will stop at a couple lookouts for the views. Good tour guides, I enjoyed it.

This was a fun activity. Beautiful scenery, easy ride.
Review by: Jeanne P, April 2016
Very fun! We're recommending to our friends. Beautiful scenery and good guides.
Review by: Amanda W, April 2016
Our family had a great time doing this. The guides were incredibly knowledgeable about the towns we passed on the way up, the flora and fauna, as well as the history of the area. The canyon is gorgeous. I would recommend this to anyone comfortable on a bike. It's all downhill. Practically no pedaling at all and the views are beautiful.
