Tour de Paradise Itinerary
Day of Arrival
Upon your arrival you will check in to your hotel, and if you have opted to rent a bicycle you will pick one up at a local bike shop. In the afternoon there will be a welcome meeting where you will meet with your tour guide for an informative discussion on safety, the tour schedule, and routes for the following day.
Day 1
Your first day of riding will be approximately 52 miles. You begin your ride along the Big Islands Gold Coast, which is the first half of the Ironman bike course. We will make stops at historic sites and tropical valleys along our way.
Day 2
A worthwhile challenge! Ride into the Kohala Mountains and across part of the famous Parker Ranch, one of the largest privately owned cattle ranches in the USA. Your reward? Stunning oceans views as you drop into the green headlands of tropical valleys on the windward side. Approximately 55 miles.
Day 3
Continue along the green Hamakua Coast, descending the scenic route toward Hilo, the only city on the island. Lush tropical land sites and waterfalls in giant river gulches will make this day special. Approximately 55 miles.
Day 4
Gain elevation gradually over 35 miles to be rewarded with exploring terrain on the most active volcano in the world. See the Kilauea Caldera, lounge in front of a large fireplace where Mark Twain watched an eruption in the last century.
Day 5
Rest on a forty-five hundred foot descent back to sea level. Restore your energy at the beautiful Punalu'u Black Sand Beach, home of the hawkbill turtles. Heading north, we will see the southern most point of the USA. Approximately 55 miles.
Day 6
On this last day of riding, heading northward up the Kona Coast. Roads alternating between straight and winding take you across breathtaking sea cliffs, lava flow vistas, Ohia forest reserves and world famous Kona coffee farms. This incomparable variety of scenery is compensation for gains and losses of elevation as you make your way to your hotel. Approximately 55 miles.
Day 7
Farewell and Aloha. You are free to relax and enjoy yourself, organize your gear and prepare for your departure.
