“Chris and Flo are top notch. I wanted to see some of the island while we visited for Ironman. The experience was one I’ll never forget. What an incredible way to see the most beautiful parts of the island - all without the lines and headache. Will book again next trip!”

“I just finished an amazing trip up Mauna Loa with Chris! From the pre-ride advice on gearing and clothing to support during the day, it was truly wonderful. He is the consummate professional who made the entire experience highly memorable and fun. It was a first class experience from start to finish!”
Robert P.
“I came to Hawaii to do one thing: take on the longest climb in the world, Mauna Loa. Hawaii Epic Cycling was exactly what I needed to make my trip a success. Chris transported me to and from the airport and was with me for 4 days of epic cycling. He’s always punctual and very generous with his time. Chris is super fun to ride with and gave me some really great tips that have improved my climbing. I had such a great time and will never forget it.”
Zach R.
“Rode Mauna Loa, it was incredible and Chris’ support was essential. He was on time for pickup, had all the ride logistics dialed, and was a total pleasure to hang out with. Aside from being a consummate professional and accomplished rider, he also happens to be a great guy. Spending the day with Chris was just like a day with a good friend - can’t recommend enough. Thanks so much, Chris - can’t wait for the next one!”
Tom McDaniel
“Chris helped pull together 2 epic rides up Mauna Loa and Mauna Kea for me over the holidays. He assembled a great team to support our rides up and it was incredible riding with Chris. Beyond being an unbelievably strong, world-class pro rider, Chris is a marvelous human being that really opened my eyes up to the beauty of the island. Chris really took care of me and made me really feel supported through both epic climbs. They were incredibly hard but profound life experiences and he made both really feel like my days. I could not have imagined doing either without Chris. 5 stars and 100% recommend to everyone. ”

Mauna Kea Tour
The hardest climb in the world! We will start at A-Bay in Waikoloa before sunrise to climb over the old Saddle Road towards the base of Mauna Kea. This route leads to the steepest and most brutal sections of the day, after we've already been climbing for more than four hours. Once you pass the visitor center, the roads turn to dirt within six miles from the top, offering four miles of very challenging gravel road. The weather can always play a factor here, and altitude sickness is a real concern for some. Very few have succeeded in this climb. It has our highest DES rating of 10 plus and is the king of epic rides. We recommend contacting us before booking at info@hawaiiepiccycing.com

Mauna Loa Tour
The baby sister to the Beast, Mauna Kea. Don’t underestimate this climb. With 3 options to start from (routes Kona Pier, Waikoloa Beach, or Hilo) and 11,600 ft of elevation and 68 to 70 miles, it is Epic in its own right. The entire route is on paved roads and can be done on a road bike, gravel bike, or mountain bike. Gear selection is key to make sure you have the legs to summit this Volcano. One of the best parts of this ride is the last 25 miles. Single-lane road with butter-smooth pavement that climbs and winds through lava fields. The views are spectacular. This tour is great if you want to stay on the pavement and are not comfortable in the dirt. Also, the elevation is not as taxing as Mauna Kea. This is a very popular tour.

Captain Cook Tour
This is a great way to see the coffee farms and the lush green part of the Kona Coffee Belt. We start at the Kona Pier and head straight up the mountain to 1400 ft. We then ride through the coffee belt and descend down to Captain Cook.
We stay along the coast and climb back up to a different part of the coffee belt. We make a few stops and grab star fruit at the famous Painted Church, make a stop and grab some fresh baked Banana Bread, and one last stop at a coffee farm for a tour. (optional) This is one to do for sure if you want to do an epic ride at more of a leisurely pace.
One of the most beautiful rides you will ever do!
