★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 206 reviews · 4 to 5 hours (approx.) · from $189Our pick

“First, the technology - superb. We were given maps and images showing exactly where to meet. We sent a text asking for assistance with finding parking, and we received prompt and accurate guidance. The boom boxes on the handlebars were great. Second, the bikes - beautiful. Most importantly, Kelly was a fabulous guide, very passionate about the efforts made by the local food community to stay in business. The food itself was great. There is no better way to sightsee than on a bicycle! Carl and Cindy”

Return by 5:00 pm or keep the bike for up to seven days to explore Waikīkī, Diamond Head, Mānoa, and the east side at your own pace.

“Brilliant way to get around and explore Waikīkī & up the coast to Kahala and Hawaii-Kai. Plenty of range, could easily do 70 kms. Hired e-bike because I have a sore hip & it was brilliant because it even had a throttle which was very handy when I was in pain. Meant I could ride with my partner who brought his own road bicycle. Only negative was that for the long period we had it, it was very expensive, but there isn’t much else around. Staff & process was great. Highly recommend if you like to bike!”
