    Good hike and bike, but alot of driving to get there

    The company sent very clear pickup instructions, but their own driver didn't follow them, resulting in a delayed start to the day. It was quite a drive to the two locations - one for the waterfall hike and a different location for the downhill bike, so significant time was spent in the van. The hike was good, although quite muddy due to recent rains. I recommend proper hiking footwear. I think our guide, Ian, was inexperienced, so missed opportunities to pass on his knowledge of birds and plants to the whole group. He was very responsive to questions though. The bike ride gave opportunities for great views to Honolulu and Waikiki.

    Fun ride with beautiful views

    The waterfall was awesome! The views on the bike ride were spectacular. The road was bumpy but it was fun riding down the hill! Daniel was a fantastic guide and was very knowledgeable about Hawaiian history and ecology. Would recommend!

    Bike & Hike

    The tour guide Daniel was very informative. The van we were in had terrible air conditioning. We stopped to let off some people who were only doing half of the tour and had to wait at least 40 minutes for them to be picked up. Be prepared to get very muddy on the hike to the waterfall. Also I would suggest bringing lunch with you if you are going to do the hike and the bike ride.

    AMAZING TOUR GUIDE EMPLOYEE….BAD COMPANY

    Our tour guide was wonderful. He was very knowledgeable, funny and overall a great personality The company is lucky to have a outstanding employee like him, otherwise this rating would have been way lower. You need to fix my van's AC and give it an oil change We waited 30-40 minutes for the guys who were only hiking and not riding bikes to get picked up, but he ended just calling them an Uber. His boss made us wait in a very hot car instead of arranging a ride for them already. If your best employee says to do something that will benefit the company, stop ignoring him and just do it.

    Beautiful hike and bike trio

    Ray was our guide for the hike to the waterfalls. He was extremely knowledgeable about the island’s land masses, trees, and history. It was clear he loves his island. It was a fun but muddy hike and the waterfalls were stunning! The hike was followed by a downhill bike ride. The excursion was fun and I learned a lot more about the history and natural habitat of Oahu, as well as a few Hawaiian words. Recommend to those who like to be active and want to better understand the island’s beautiful landscape.

    Downhill Bike and Ko'olau Waterfall Hike Tour: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Honolulu.

    How much does Downhill Bike and Ko'olau Waterfall Hike Tour cost?

    +

    Prices start at $197 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Honolulu usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Downhill Bike and Ko'olau Waterfall Hike Tour take?

    +

    Plan for about 6 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Honolulu is not rushed.

    Is Downhill Bike and Ko'olau Waterfall Hike Tour worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 61 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.3/5 across 46 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Honolulu, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Downhill Bike and Ko'olau Waterfall Hike Tour?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Downhill Bike and Ko'olau Waterfall Hike Tour suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 6-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Downhill Bike and Ko'olau Waterfall Hike Tour?

    +

    Around 16 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Honolulu can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Honolulu and add a light layer if any part of the 6-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Downhill Bike and Ko'olau Waterfall Hike Tour start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Honolulu within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Honolulu?

    +

    Honolulu and greater Oahu run on early starts. Pearl Harbor memorial tickets release on a fixed schedule, the North Shore circle-island loop needs a full day, and the catamaran and snorkel runs off Waikiki fill fast in season. We rank on whether the operator secures Pearl Harbor entry themselves and how tight the circle-island itinerary really is. On Outty we rank every Honolulu experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Oahu: North Shore Tour with Waimea Waterfall, Pearl Harbor City Tour, Ultimate Pearl Harbor Circle Island. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Honolulu?

    +

    April to June and September to November, between the wet season and peak crowds. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Honolulu?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What is included in Downhill Bike and Ko'olau Waterfall Hike Tour?

    +

    Included: Hiking gear (if option selected); Professional nature guide; Comfortable KHS cruiser bike; Bike helmet and rain gear (if required); and Hotel pickup and drop off. Not included: Gratuities. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Does Downhill Bike and Ko'olau Waterfall Hike Tour include hotel pickup?

    +

    Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 13 listed pickup locations in and around Honolulu. Be ready about 15 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.

    What languages is Downhill Bike and Ko'olau Waterfall Hike Tour offered in?

    +

    It runs in English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.

    Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Downhill Bike and Ko'olau Waterfall Hike Tour?

    +

    Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.

    Is Downhill Bike and Ko'olau Waterfall Hike Tour wheelchair or stroller accessible?

    +

    The operator notes: Infants are required to sit on an adult’s lap. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.

    What happens to Downhill Bike and Ko'olau Waterfall Hike Tour if the weather is bad?

    +
