Volcano Ohana - Hawaiian Bike Tours — Local services in Hawaii

I recently had the privilege of experiencing the Volcano Ohana Fat Tire E-Bike Tour at Volcano National Park in Volcano, Hawaii, and I am absolutely thrilled to share my raving review of this unforgettable adventure! This tour was an absolute gem, and I can't stop raving about it.

First and foremost, our tour guide Byron was an absolute superstar. His passion for the park and his extensive knowledge about its history, geology, and culture were truly impressive. Byron's friendly and warm demeanor instantly put our group at ease, and it was clear that he genuinely cared about making our tour an unforgettable experience.

What truly sets this tour apart is the mode of exploration – electric fat tire bikes. As someone who lives on the island and has visited Volcano National Park multiple times, I thought I knew the park like the back of my hand. However, the E-Bike tour introduced a whole new dimension to my experience. Riding the fat tire e-bikes through the lush and scenic trails of the park felt like I was uncovering hidden treasures around every bend. The feeling of freedom and exhilaration as we glided through the diverse landscapes, from dense rainforests to barren lava fields, was simply unparalleled.

The electric fat tire bikes were not only incredibly fun to ride but also made the tour accessible to participants of varying fitness levels. They effortlessly handled the park's diverse terrain, including both challenging uphill climbs and thrilling downhill descents. It was a breeze to keep up with the group, and the E-Bikes allowed us to cover more ground in less time, making the most of our tour.

The experience of witnessing the awe-inspiring volcanic landscapes up close and personal is something that will stay with me forever. The lava tubes, steam vents, and vibrant plant life were even more captivating from the saddle of an electric fat tire bike. Byron's informative commentary along the way provided fascinating insights, adding depth to the beauty of the park.

For locals like me, this tour is a reminder of how we can rediscover our beloved island in a whole new light. And for visitors, it's a must-do to truly connect with the natural wonder that is Volcano National Park. It's an adventure that everyone should embark on, regardless of their level of familiarity with the area.

Volcano Ohana Fat Tire E-Bike Tour at Volcano National Park is a must-do experience that exceeded all my expectations. With an exceptional guide like Byron and the incredible freedom and versatility of the E-Bikes, it's the ultimate way to explore the park. I can't recommend this tour enough, and I am already planning to do it again. Don't miss out on this epic adventure that will leave you with memories to treasure...

My husband and I had looked forward to the E-bike activity as a highlight of our vacation, however, I was the victim of a very unprofessional business practice involving the owner of this business. After being personally flexible with the owner of this business and changing the date of my reservation on very short notice, it turned out that my husband experienced an unexpected medical condition right at the start of the activity on the new date and was unable to go on the ride. I did go on the ride. I called Heather Tate, the owner, the next business day and requested a refund for my husband's portion ($200). She flat out refused, essentially saying that "a contract is a contract", despite the fact that there were at least 20 individuals in the group that day. As a person, she showed absolutely no sympathy or compassion for my husband's unexpected medical condition, and said I was disrespecting her business by even asking for a refund. Again, this is after I compromised the day before by altering my plans so her business would not have unnecessary expense. Due to the severe lack of kindness and understanding exhibited by this organization (I could be harsher), I would suggest folks stay away from this business. I was highly impressed with the activity overall, though, and would have given it 5 stars had the unfortunate incident above not occurred.

Additional comment to the owner's comments below -- the person knew how to ride a bike very well. There was a medical condition that occurred on the way over the mountain to the national park that caused a balance problem. The owner does not seem to be able to listen to...

My teenage daughters and I had the most fabulous Private Van Tour with Volcano Ohana. I don’t have enough room to explain in detail how wonderful it was.

Prior to our tour, I spoke at length with Heather about the different tours they offered. She listened and made note of the special places we wanted to visit, and also made suggestions based on our ideas.

Within 24 hours she emailed a wonderful, custom itinerary - complete with our preferences as well as other ideas Byron and she thought we would enjoy. The schedule kept us on task, yet the tour was very relaxed and we did not feel rushed.

This could not have been an easy task, given the fact that they were accommodating 2 teenage girls and me. I am somewhat limited in my ability to participate in many activities due to some minor disabilities.

From the planning of the tour to the actual trip, Byron and Heather were both professional and personable. When they picked us up at our vacation rental, we immediately felt comfortable and confident that the day would be a success, and it most definitely was!

Both were a wealth of information. So in addition to having a great time, we also learned a great deal about the island and it’s customs.

Because this tour was so successful and because it actually “lived up to” the actual plan, we plan to return and participate in their other tours.

I highly recommend this company to anyone of any age whether you want to just go site seeing, or be adventurous, or want a combination of both.

Whatever you decide for your tour, you will NOT be disappointed!

Many thanks to...
