Diamond Head Bike To Hike And Local Lunch

We wanted to experience Diamondhead and the sights of Waikiki by bike and this tour did not disappoint. Bikes were good and well maintained with a speaker connected to our guide so en route descriptions of sights was assured. Water and a snack were provided. Several stops with beautiful views of the coastline were made before making it to Diamondhead National Park for the hike up to the top for a 360 degree view. After hiking down, a stop was made for quick lunch at a local restaurant. We found the bike portion to be relaxed and fairly easy and hike portion to be moderately challenging but ample stops were made along the way. A great way to see this iconic sight in Oahu. Highly recommend!

Kelly is a caring, athletic guy with years of experience. He is all set up with speakers on bikes and a snack in your pouch ready for a fun tour. This is the perfect intro to Honolulu after a long flight and coming from a country where we drive on the other side of rd. K is wealth of knowledge. At times I found the pace a lil slow with too many photos all the time -but others seemed to like it and i was only one on an ebike (requested due to knee issues) .The biking part was mainly flat but hike was quite challenging and crowded-many many steps-but take it at own pace and great view from top.Do take a hat and your own full water bottle for hike.Also some cash for the tip!

Great way to see the area along the way to diamond head. The hike was great as well ! Did not feel like the lunch at the end needed to be included as it dragged the day a little. Things could also have been condensed. Kelly was very friendly and knowledgeable!

Kelly was one of the best tour guides we’ve ever had. He is incredibly knowledgeable about Hawaii’s nature, culture, history, and food, and he made the entire experience fun and engaging for our family. One of the things we appreciated most was that Kelly took amazing photos throughout the day and even created a video for us afterward. We never had to worry about taking pictures ourselves and could simply focus on enjoying the experience and making memories together. The bikes were comfortable and well-maintained, and Kelly made sure everyone stayed hydrated and energized with water, gummies, and healthy granola bars. After the Diamond Head hike, we enjoyed delicious fish tacos at a local restaurant—easily one of our favorite meals of the trip! From start to finish, everything was thoughtfully planned, and Kelly’s passion for Hawaii truly shines through. If you’re looking for a fun, active, and memorable way to experience Oahu, I highly recommend this tour. Mahalo, Kelly, for an incredible day! 🌺🚴‍♂️🌴

Kelly was a fantastic tour guide. My husband and I love to bike, so this was killing two birds with one stone. Kelly shared a lot of historically information with the surrounding area on the way to Diamond Head. He took all the pictures we'll ever need of the ride and the hike. The lunch was a nice reward after all that exercise.

Very informative tour. The biking and hiking were great not to mention the beautiful views!! The local lunch Kelly provided was amazing! Best I’ve had on my trip!!

The trip was great. Kelly is very friendly and knows so much about the history of the islands. He was one of the best tour guides I have met. I can recommend this tour with no reservations !

Kelly was an excellent guide. Very knowledgeable and informative! I would highly recommend him for this tour!

Hands down best tour across the globe I have ever been on! Kelly was a wealth of knowledge and so thoughtful and considerate. He treated us like family. Will definitely book him again!

We loved this bike and hike tour! Kelly was amazing with lots of details about the area we were viewing. He had lots of interesting stories and took so many amazing photos that he shared with us. The food was delicious. Would highly recommend this tour.

Amazing experience. Excelent Guide like Kelly, was the difference. The view is awesome and the place deserved to be visited

Getting to the Diamond Head in a different way: bike! Kelly is a great guide, and makes this a super enjoyable experience. You get to know places , you wouldn't pass by in another way. The bikes are great, the trails, hiking and views totally worth it. If you like to bike , you'll have a great time. Also super cool: the pics you get of yourself 🤩🚲🙌!! Thanks!!

Kelly was a great tour guide! He took lots of pictures throughout our tour and shared a video of pictures highlighting our many stops along the way and as we hiked up to the top of Diamond Head. We learned a lot about Honolulu as we rode the bikes. We stopped for lunch at a local diner for fish tacos. Don’t hesitate to book his tour.

Kelly was once again amazing. He’s one of a kind and you will definitely be entertained. He’s like the mayor of Honolulu!

A Good quick, early morning bike ride before it gets too hot, 3 hour excursion from downtown Waikiki to Diamond Dead and back. Guide Supplied a great bike with water. And on the way back, we got takeout lunch and stopped at local park to eat on way back. Got papaya curried chicken and banana scone from local neighborhood busy carryout. Food was great. I’m confident that on future rides , visitors would get great local food at other local places. My Guide had a microphone and wireless speaker on my bike so I could clearly hear him providing verbal warning / safety signals and interesting commentary as we rode through neighborhoods, as he pointed out many sites along the way up to Diamond Head. We met several locals, walking/ biking along the way through town and on the hiker trail to the top of diamond head, that recognized him. So, he is a really knowledgeable tour guide on this particular bike/hike trip, and likely as well as his other Waikīkī area tours. The provided three-speed bike was manual, but they were great pedaling- no problems with the minor hills. Guide noted he provides electric bikes as needed for other small group rides. In spring /summer 2025 you had best check the Diamond Head State Monument’s website due to construction and possible closures. And remember coordination with your tour guide for a correct time to get your timed “entry only“ pass as a bike/walk-in to Diamond Head State Monument from Hawaii parks, so that you can get entry at an appropriate time.

Our guide Kelly was personable informative about the area. He was also health conscious, making sure we were hydrated and comfortable while riding and hiking.

It was great ! Kelly was fiull of information and very entertaining . If you enjoy biking it’s fun activity couple hills but doable

Kelly is extremely knowledgeable and has a great tour going. The bike and hike were fun and educational. Once reaching the top of diamond head and seeing amazing views it’s an easy downhill climb and ride back to Waikiki.

highly recommend this trip! Awesome exercise, fabulous views, learned a ton, and delicious lunch. 10 out of 10. Don't need to be super in shape, but a small portion is a little intense.

Kelly was great! He pointed out all of the points of interest. He provided water a d a snack plus lunch. I would definitely fo a tour again.

Kelly provided a great bike and hike tour of Diamond Head. Very professionally but informal with great knowledges of local area. Always providing information on local points of interest. Great local lunch provided. Enjoyed his blue tooth communication system Really recommended him Thanks

Kelly was an excellent guide, providing interesting facts and details as we rode. He had speakers on every bike and we could hear him clearly. Very conscientious for our safety. Had an exhilarating hike up and down Diamond Head. Enjoyed a delicious lunch at the Market Grill. The curry chicken in papaya is highly recommended! Kelly took a ton of photos and shared it along with a fun video of our adventures. I'd definitely recommend this tour for those seeking simultaneous exercise and fun!

Wonderful experience ! It blew me away with how knowledgeable, friendly and entertaining the guide was. He did an amazing job and you could tell he was very passionate about his job!

Kelly is hands down the best tour guide I’ve ever had. He possesses a wealth of knowledge on the area, having lived in Hawaii for more than 40 years. He is thoughtful, kind, and a great conversationalist. He made a lengthy tour feel like hanging out with an old friend. The sights on the Diamond Head tour were amazing and the bikes very comfortable! Highly recommend this tour.

My wife and I took the Hike and Bike Tour with Kelly and it was great. Kelly did an outstanding job of explaining the different points of interest and he is very knowledgeable. He took a lot of pictures for us that he shared at the end of the tour. I would definitely recommend this excursion!

Wonderful day. Loved the local insights. Kelly was an amazing guide; so accommodating. Fish tacos, bike along Waikiki beach, and views from the top of the Crater were spectacular.

Went with 3 teens and smiles on all 3 faces!! Kelly was an amazing guide-he was prepared with everything and so knowledgable and accommodating. Views were amazing. Fish tacos were delicious. We were able to learn so much about the island in just a few short hours.

This bike tour is great for the following reasons: 1. TOUR GUIDE (KELLY): Kelly is very personable, friendly and easy-going. He is punctual and explained everything clearly. He is organised and well-equipped with the kits that he provides with the bikes. He is very easy to talk to and since he has been living in Hawaii for over 40 yrs, he is technically a "local" who can provide great info and tid bits about certain places as you ride along. He has a great sense of humour and made me feel comfortable and taken care of. When I was having a slightly hard time going uphill, he pushed me along for support, which was very kind of him. Kelly is a conversationalist and has travelled around the world a bit. I feel that he knows a lot about the world since I travelled around the world a fair bit myself for over 20 years. He seems to do a lot of research on various topics and so, the conversation was light-hearted, fun and easy going. 2. ACCURACY OF TOUR: There is nothing outstandingly different from the description. You get exactly what is described on there ( even down to the packets of gummies and water bottles ). Anyone who complains that this is not what they asked for either a) Did not read the description carefully or b) Is not self-aware of their fitness level. 3. EASY BIKE & MODERATE HIKE: I exercise daily and burn around 600-800 calories a day in weight lifting and walking on a normal day. I would say that the bike ride is very easy and pleasant and has a few slightly challenging uphill parts but definitely doable. The hike up the crater is one of the easiest I have experienced except for the stairs (there are some stairs near the summit). This is also doable.

This is the way to see diamond head! Our bike escort, and guide Kelly was awesome! He knows a tremendous amount of information about the island, the culture and was just a lot of fun! The bike portion was challenging, but very good. And the hike was amazing. I would highly recommend this to anybody who is looking for a good way to see this part of Hawaii!

Amazing tour guide, very genuine understanding and kind hearted. He’s also quite knowledgeable and was a ex athlete!!

Kelly was an excellent tour guide. He gave us the history behind much of the area. He was friendly and funny and made the trip enjoyable. He took us at our own pace so we could enjoy the experience. I would definitely recommend this tour.

Kelly was a great tour guide, I was a little worried about the hills as I have only biked on my trainer so far this year, but he kept a pace that was easy to keep up with. His photos were great and the experience is well worth it. Diamond head has gorgeous views and biking part of the way added to the day. If you like to bike and hike you should join Kelly!

Love the view, like the touring information. Kelly is cheering and love his pick tire taken technique

So much fun! Our guide was friendly and very knowledgeable of the area. It was a great mix of biking and hiking. Helmets, snacks, and water were provided. The views of the water, monuments, and from the top of Diamond Head were outstanding. We rode through town and through some residential areas, and then walked to the top. Our guide talked with us throughout the bike ride from his microphone to a speaker each of had on our bikes, and he took a ton of photos that he sent us. The hike to the top was mildly strenuous, but worth the effort. The trip included a delicious lunch at a restaurant in town. Our guide made a big difference in this trip. If you aren't familiar with the area, it makes a difference to have a knowledgeable guide like ours.

The tour was amazing!!! We all totally loved it and it was the best part of our adventure! We can’t wait to cone back and do this tour again!

Had a wonderful time! Our guide made our trip an excellent experience.. Can’t wait to do it again. I’m

From start to finish, this was a great time! I haven’t ridden a bike since college, but Kelly was encouraging and helpful all the way. He’s fun-loving and full of interesting information about the area. The views were beautiful, and Kelly took many awesome pictures for me too. He’s been in the area over 40 years and one local even yelled out as we rode past, “Kelly’s a legend!”

Kelly was an amazing guide. He knew so much about the island and its history. Riding a bicycle around, as opposed to a car, was a fantastic idea. I really got to feel like I was immersed in the experience. Reaching the top of Diamond Head felt amazing and the view was stunning. The climb itself wasn’t bad at all but definitely good for a first timer, like me. We stopped at a coffee & bagel shop for lunch, because we were a bit ahead of schedule and the regular lunch place wasn’t open. We had a bagel with lox (everything bagel, cream cheese, smoked salmon). It was probably one of the best bagels/sandwiches I’ve ever had. It was so delicious!! If you are a person who is relatively active, I would highly recommend doing a biking tour with Kelly!!

Our tour guide, Kelly, was an amazing source of local interest stories and also energy. The tour made stops at places we would not have visited otherwise on our trip to Honolulu, plus traveling via bike meant we could easily stop to check everything out. I am a less experienced biker, but Kelly was always helpful with bike speakers to communicate with us along the way and ensured our constant safety on the road. The food stop for lunch was perfect and off the beaten tourist path. Fish tacos! The information, stories and highlights from Kelly made our trip to Honolulu much more personal.

Tour guide Kelly does awesome job of safely navigating roads to Diamond Head with lots of interesting history too. Hike up DH is a nice challenge and great way to buildup an appetite for delicious tacos afterwards!!!

Highly recommend this tour to get some exercise along with lots of Hawaii history/ information from great guide Kelly!! Delicious fish tacos after hike up Diamond Head😋👍

I had an amazing experience with Bike Tour Hawaii, and I can't speak highly enough about my guide, Kelly. His knowledge and friendliness added so much to the tour, offering insightful information that made the journey even more enjoyable. Kelly's attentiveness to my physical needs, slowing down when necessary, truly made the experience comfortable and personalized. The pictures he took will become treasured memories for me! I highly recommend Bike Tour Hawaii for an exceptional adventure!

We had taken the Downtown Chinatown tour and had such a great time that we booked the Diamond Head Tour, and what an adventure. We met Kelly in Waikiki and when we arrived everything was set up and ready. The bike are new and very well maintained, which made the ride to Diamond Head easy and comfortable. We made a few stops like The Light House , a green sand beach and The Amelia Earhart lookout. We got to the entrance and threw the tunnel and there we were in the crater. Our guide Kelly had everything you could need , cool bottled water and energy bars that he offered before the hike. The trail was very well maintained and the hike was moderate. When you reach the top of the dormant volcano, the view was spectacular. Kelly knew all the history of Diamond Head and the roll it played in World War Two. He also point out other points of interest . Like The Doris Duke Mansion , a few homes of famous celebrities and some of the neighboring islands that were visible on a clear day. We highly recommend this bike tour company. You can tell that Kelly is a professional and has been doing this for a long time. You we not be disappointed. Mahalo Kelly for the great memories and the greats photos and video.

Kelly is a great guide. Fun and easy going. Lots of information about the neighborhoods and landmarks you pass by. While the ride has some challenging climbs, overall it was very manageable. One of the best activities in Honolulu.

Excellent tour. Communication top notch. We knew where we were supposed to be and when. Kelly made sure that we were kept informed about what was expected of us. Kelly was a fountain of knowledge and what he didn't know about an iphone and its camera isn't worth knowing. I am looking forward to receiving the many photos that he took. I would totally recommend this tour to anyone who enjoys biking. The bike wasn't too hard, the climb to the top pf Diamond Head a little more challenging but Kelly was there the whole way looking out for us and making sure we were ok.

We had a fantastic time with Kelly on the Bike to Hike tour. The bike ride was relaxing and Kelly provided plenty of information about important and interesting sites along our route. He even provided additonal info on our hike up Diamond Head. The stop at the cafe for lunch was delicious and hit the spot. Would highly recommend.

Amazing ride. Thank you. This is a perfect way to get to Diamond Head and experience the beauty of Honolulu and the breeze of the ocean as you ride up and walk to the top. The views are amazing and the fish tacos after just hit the spot perfectly.

Kelly gave us a great narrative about the island and was very informative. The pace of the ride and hike was great

Kelly was a great guide, with lots of interesting facts, stories, and information along the way. He made me feel very comfortable on a bike (I hadn't been on one in years) and was incredibly fun to spend the morning with. This was a fun way to get to the top of Diamond Head.
