Detailed itinerary

As a participant in this water bike tour, we will leave from Makena Bay and travel southeast along the shoreline to see some of the reef, fish, and any marine life that shows up for the day. We may spend approximately 10 minutes per stop allowing everyone a chance to relax and capture photographs. Tour guides teach guests Hawaiian names and words of the area making this water bike adventure an opportunity to learn Hawaiian history.

The next stop will be just off the shore of one of the only black sand beaches along the south shore. The beach will be clearly visible from our water bikes. Though we do not dock on the beach, it is a great beach to see especially when this beach is not visible from the roadway making it a more secretly kept beach in the area.

On this water bike tour, you can push yourself a little more to get some exercise or you can just cruise along. Our tour guides will be there to provide instruction and help make this experience one to keep in your heart forever.

Guests get to ride passed the rare and beautiful black sand beach as part of this tour.
