2.Hawaii: Volcanoes National Park E-Bike Rental and GPS Audio

★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 16 reviews · 4 hours · from $159Top rated

Pick up an e-bike at Bike Volcano in Volcano Village and follow a GPS audio app into Hawaii Volcanoes National Park. You’ll ride through native rainforest, visit steam vents, walk a lava tube, and reach volcano viewpoints. The four-hour trip is self-guided, private, and paced at your own speed.

“There were 6 in our party. We road e-bikes to the volcano and back. The highways were busy and a bit scary at first but the vehicles were very accommodating to those on bikes as long as you stick to the sides of the road and adhered to the parks regulations there were no problems. The audio/map app was a bit hard to navigate, but trails and paths were easily found. Lots of maps on the way to follow. The views of the volcano spectacular. Beautiful, fun and exciting adventure. Would do it again. The e-bikes from Hilo on Bikes, were top notch and easy to operate. Fun fun activity.…”
