Rainforest to Reef tour: Half-Day

Explore the Rainforest to Reef Half-Day Tour in Oahu

The Rainforest to Reef half-day tour offers a combined biking and sailing experience starting near 2000 feet elevation in the Koolau mountains. Guests begin with a 5-mile downhill bike ride on comfortable cruiser bikes along paved roads through a lush Oahu rainforest. The ride includes stops at overlooks with views of Honolulu and Waikiki.

After biking, participants take a quick shuttle to Kewalo Basin to board the 38.6-foot Kahala Kai catamaran. The boat features twin 140hp engines and a Bose sound system, providing a relaxing sail off Waikiki. Guests can learn about the Hawaiian reef and see landmarks such as Diamond Head from the water.

Snorkeling and Wildlife

During the catamaran adventure, guests may swim or snorkel in the warm waters fronting Waikiki Beach. The tour often includes sightings of green sea turtles (honu), tropical reef fish, and sometimes spinner dolphins. Seasonal humpback whales may be seen from December through April.
