“Kenny and his team were absolute professionals. Never for a moment was I worried for my safety and I’d say this is how one should partake in Death road mountain biking. You enjoy the ride and let your tour crew handle everything else. By the end of it body showed signs of what I had put it through the whole day but man, this was amazing fun.”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 171 reviews · 2 hours (approx.) · from $235

Ride a high-end mountain bike across historic Anna Ranch with a professional guide, climbing past streams, lava rock, and tropical plants toward views of Mauna Kea, Mauna Loa, and Hualalai. The two-hour private outing includes a helmet, drinks, snacks, and rain gear if needed.

“We had a great tour guide, Jeremy who was super patient and knowledgeable. The ride was very challenging even with the e-bikes but then again, I've never been mountain biking before. Others in the group had a much easier time then me. The bikes were high quality and very expensive with great suspension to cushion the ride. We booked on Viator which said to get there at 8:30am but everyone else who booked directly with Big Island Bike Rentals were told to get there at 9am so that was frustrating.”
