Hawaii Big Island

You’ve probably heard of the beautiful Big Island of Hawaii and the world-class triathlon competitions held there. Or perhaps you’re a fan of the Kona coffee grown on the slopes of the Hualalai and Mauna Loa volcanoes. But did you know that paved roads ring this biggest of the Hawaiian Islands? Picture yourself camping on four of the most beautiful beaches in the world, climbing nearly 4,000 vertical feet over the flanks of mighty volcanoes, traversing lava fields, and becoming immersed in rainforests.

2018 saw one of the largest eruptions of the Kilauea volcano in nearly 200 years, depositing lava 40 feet thick in the southeast portion of the Big Island, and creating acres of new land into the sea. The good news is that Kilauea is no longer erupting and we have adjusted our itinerary to view the effects of the recent and past lava flows. We will also have a unique opportunity to meet local residents who lived through some of nature's most dynamic events.

Our tour starts in historic Kailua Village (Kailua-Kona), not far from the airport and our designated bike shop. Be sure to leave space in your panniers for a set of snorkeling gear! Come join us on the Big Island for a 12-day tropical celebration of spectacular roads, gorgeous beach camping, delicious local foods, and much, much more!
