The Big Island may not have much in the way of mountain biking (lava and mud will do that), but road bikes are another story. There are a slew of mainland companies offering all-inclusive tours of the Big Island, but why not support the local ones who have firsthand knowledge of the island?

Kona Coast Cycling Tours ( 327-1133, toll free 877-592-BIKE, www.cyclekona.com). Kona Coast Cycling offers daily bike tours Monday through Saturday. Participants don’t need to be experts – these folks think the best way to experience a new place is on the seat of a bicycle. Their tours are mostly downhill and “van supported,” so if you need a breather and want to ride in the van for awhile, you can. They offer several tours, including the popular “Kona Coffee Express” through coffee country ($80). There is a two-person minimum for tours, which include bikes and helmets. Closed toe shoes are required.

Orchid Isle Bicycling ( 327-0087, toll free 800-219-2324, www.orchidislebicycling.com). Orchid Isle, another locally owned company, offers multi-day bike tours of the Big Island, such as the Kona Coast tour ($1,995), a seven-day excursion that covers the route of the Iron Man triathlon, or the Tour de Paradise ($2,495), a nine-day jaunt around the
entire island. Prices are per-person and include guide, bike, helmet, breakfast, lunch, repair services, airport pick-up and hotel shuttle. There is a minimum of two participants per tour, though single riders can pay more for an individual tour.
