After bike fitting and safety instruction at the Kuhio Beach Banyan Tree meeting point, you'll explore Kapiolani Park's rich history before pedaling to the WW1 Natatorium Memorial—the same waters where Olympic legend Duke Kahanamoku once trained. Your route reveals hidden treasures like a secluded green sand beach at Diamond Head's base, plus stops at the Disney house and wealthy residential neighborhoods.

The 150-foot climb to Diamond Head Light House Lookout rewards you with panoramic views of surfers carving through paradise waters. Continue past the Amelia Earhart memorial and Doris Duke's Shangri-La museum in exclusive Black Point, then cruise by the Hawaii FIVE-O and NCIS Hawaii filming studios. The 8-mile cycling portion winds through mountain terrain with several elevation gains before you reach Diamond Head Crater.

Here's where the real magic happens. Park your bikes for the highlight 45-minute to 1-hour hiking portion—a challenging 300-foot climb through the crater steeped in Hawaiian and WWI history. The summit delivers incredible views of Oahu's south and east-facing shores that make every step worth it.
