Hawaii Bike Tours: Big Island

Big Island, Hawaii is a tropical paradise but there’s so much more to this island than white sand beaches and palm trees. Our Hawaii bike tours focus on the north and west of the island; where the best weather and the best cycling is. You also get to experience four very distinct areas in terms of landscape, climate, history and culture.

Waikoloa Village has classic white-sand beaches, palm trees and amazing sunsets. The ride around to Hawi takes you to the tropical part of the island where a vibrant artist community blends into “old Hawaii” in a world that feels an age away from the tourist crowds.

It’s a steady climb from Hawi up to Waimea and into cowboy country. The countryside here is reminiscent of Ireland and we guide you down quiet single-track lanes past cattle farms. Many trips end at Captain Cook on the Kona Coast. This is coffee country and also has the best kayaking and snorkeling on the island.

The gateway city and airport is Kailua Kona. We operate Self-Guide Bike Trips and Private Cycling Tours in this area. To find out more, call us on 1 415 366 3806 or complete the form to the right.

Best Times to Visit

There’s no bad time to visit Hawaii! The Big Island enjoys a mild climate year round – with temperatures on the coast between 70°F and 80°F. Winter lasts from November through April and is slightly cooler and wetter. However, location is the real predictor of temperature and rainfall. Generally the west coast is hot and dry. It gets wetter the further west you go and cooler the higher you go. Like any tropical island, there can also be windy days.
