Breezy Biking

What better feeling than the cool upcountry breeze of a shady eucalyptus forest as you blast through the many trails of the Makawao Forest Reserve? Experienced riders are sure to catch air on the pump track and the Pineapple Express trail. And kids will gain confidence on the keiki (kids) loop. For those not seeking a rush of adrenaline, hikers will delight in the flora and dynamic landscape along the six-mile Kahakapao Loop Trail within the Reserve. Taking a daytrip to the island of Lāna‘i? Contact the Lāna‘i Adventure Park for a guided e-bike tour through the red-dirt roads of Lāna‘i.

From Zero to Zipline
