Thank you Anaya for the best experience. We had so much fun with this tour!!! We are definitely coming back again. All the bars we went to had a great selection of food and drinks. The bike was different from anything I've ever done. We had fun trying to pedal around Kakaako to the different bars. There was good music on the bike and the best part was our tour guide who made the whole experience that much better.

12 seats and a bench that fits 3 people

Thanks to Kathy H. for planning this fun outing for everyone! We were at dinner one night when Kathy mentioned Paradise Pedals. She had seen groups of people peddling together around Kakaako and wondered if we were interested in joining her. YES!!! Kathy booked the Kakaako Bar Tour for us and paid online. The instructions (such as don't wear high heels or skirts; bring cash for the bars; stay hydrated; cancel within 72 hours; etc.) were very clear. We were so excited! The day of our tour arrived and we met at SALT. We found the bike parked on the street and met Caleb, our driver/leader/tour guide. He was fantastic - very entertaining and knowledgeable! After we completed waivers, we were on our way with peppy music playing and an occasional clanging bell! We weren't allowed on the main streets, so we rode on the back streets. A few places were bumpy, but overall, it was an easy ride because the vehicle has a motor! Haha! The vehicle has somewhat of a roof overhead in case of rain. It did drizzle during our ride, but we didn't melt and our seats weren't drenched. The front two seats have adjustable heights for the vertically challenged. The 3 bench seats at the back and the two seats above the back wheels have no peddling capabilities. So, if you want to peddle, have the driver turn the motor off and sit at a functioning seat! If you want to stand up and dance in the middle, you can! There's also a shelf above the seats for purses and other belongings! Each seat has a cup holder - we placed our cell phones there! We had 40 minutes at the first two stops. Our first stop was Honolulu Beerworks where Carin taught me about Cocoweizen...yum! The second stop at Waikiki Brewing Company featured outdoor games (we didn't play). We looked at the gigantic vats which were near the restroom. Wow... a lot of beer is made here! Our third and final stop was memorable! Caleb booked a private karaoke room for us at Cafe Duck Butt, a Korean bar known for its soju. It was really fun! There were seven of us (we got a lilikoi soju and a taro soju) and a group of four visitors from California (they had the watermelon soju). They were so friendly! Thanks again to Kathy for a wonderful adventure! It was a great group project! We enjoyed yummy snacks at each stop, too! A shout out to Jace for suggesting that we wear Santa hats... very smart! We really were festive and in the Holiday Spirit! Note: All food, drinks, tips, and karaoke songs were not included in our $30 kamaaina tour fee.

Paradise Pedals at SALT Kakaako - highly recommend it!

My okole has finally recovered, so now it's time to write that 5-star review! ;-) Shout out and Merry Christmas to our awesome Bar Tour guide, Caleb!! He was the host with the most for the night. Very informative, great driver, and most of all, multi-talented! Music flowing from the Bluetooth speaker while cycling through the streets of Kaka'ako with the foodie squad was so much fun! Can you imagine 13 of us wearing Christmas hats and singing to "Living on a Prayer"?!? So much fun to be had. I highly recommend Paradise Pedals! Pedal in paradise on a covered 15-passenger bike, designed with cycling seats surrounding a wooden "bar" (Sorry, no open alcoholic beverages while pedaling). The seats vary to accommodate everyone: adjustable and non-adjustable seats with pedals, non-adjustable seats without pedals, and a two-seater bench without pedals. Finally, the center of the bike is a platform for party animals, or in our case, a motivator cheering us onto the final home stretch while we put the pedal to the metal! The good news?! The bike is electric powered so it can easily assist all of you non-cyclists, especially after having a few adult beverages. Hehe. The Bar Tour started at 7pm with food and beverages flowing from three different breweries within 2-3 hours. The first stop was Honolulu Beer Works where we enjoyed a few beers on tap and yummy bites such as braised beef flatbread and red curry Mac n Cheese! We had 45 mins here. The second stop for 30 minutes was Waikiki Brewery. Beer, beer cocktails, craft cocktails, spirits and wine were available, plus more bites. If we had more time, I'm sure we would have played a few rounds of cornhole. The last stop for about 45 minutes was Cafe Duck Butt. A couple of rounds of Lilikoi and Taro Soju with fried chicken and the most awesomest tasting French fries, made a great combination for singing "Don't Stop Believin'". Yep, it's a karaoke bar!! Way to end the night. Although our group of 8 were merged with the other group of 4 in one room, we still had a blast!! Take advantage of a discount if you're Kamaaina or Miltary. The pick-up location is at the SALT complex in Kaka'ako. If your tour is after 6pm, you should be able to find free parking along the metered streets. Or the parking structure should be fairly inexpensive for 3 hours. FYI: the seats were not as forgiving over some of the bumpy streets, so my okole was a bit sore during and after the ride. But that didn't stop me from enjoying/reminiscing over all the fun! Happy holidays!!

Honolulu brewery

Danny is an amazing host! We had a great time. Visited 3 breweries. We had a table reserved at each location. Everything was so easy, from boarding and pedaling to paying our bill at the end of each brewery visit. I highly recommend this tour. Danny is very knowledgeable about the area and gave us great tips about things we should try and see during our trip.

First off... HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME! Yeaaah! Lol. K, so now for... THE REVIEW: First huge shout out to my awesome wife who surprised me with this epic birthday present. Friends all met up at Salt and I had no idea. It was great. Jeremy arrived with the pedal cart bike truck thing, whatever they call it haha, and he was an awesome dude right from the get start. He ruled us down right quick and then boom, off to peddlin'. There was a speaker on board and we were able to choose whatever music so that was cool. Hit 3 bars and a karaoke joint. Jeremy was super helpful at each location. End of the night came too soon. Honestly had more fun than I thought we would. Definitely recommend this as a group outing. Thanks paradise pedals! Oh, and give Jeremy a raise before someone else tries to steal him from you! Great dude, personable and fun to have as a driver/ cart mate.

Our ride for the night....

Book It! Book It Now! If you're a fan of beer and a little exercise then Book It! What a unique way to bar hop... on a multi-person bike to go from bar to bar doesn't sound appealing at first, but once you are on the bike you'll be like,"Ok, I can do this!" We booked out party online, well someone nice in our group did, and selected an available date that suited all of us. Paradise Pedals even offers Military &/or Kama'aina discounts (about 10% for our booking) which made the choice for us locals even easier. They have only a few types of tours, and usually go to bars only in the Kaka'ako area for regulation and safety reasons, I assume. We did a evening tour to 3 bars in this order, Honolulu Beerworks, Waikiki Brewing Company & Duck Butt. The tour started @SALT and we met our tour guide and signed our waivers before taking off. Our tour guide Kaleb (or Caleb?) made things easy to understand and helped us out at each bar... he made sure we fond a spot of all of us and helped us stay on time to depart so we could move on to the next... our last stop I think he had an arrangement with the bar to hold the largest karaoke room for us and we drank, ate and sang at our last spot, Cafe Duck Butt, with much enthusiasm to end our last stop. What made the night special was the ride on the bike. We sang, we peddled and shared our Aloha with everyone on the road... even for the few moments on that bike, each time was priceless... I have video to prove ;). Once we finished and got back to SALT, we were so rived up end made our own after party @another bar to finish our night. If you're wondering how hard the bike is to move... don't worry... make others peddle for you =). You'll see when you get on! Have fun, be merry, and stay within your limits! Till next adventure with Paradise Peddles, Grind On! Pau

Our ride for tonight

Will pedal for beer! A few weeks ago while at dinner, Kathy H. suggested that we do a beer crawl through Kakaako on a 15 passenger party bike! Party?! Beer?! Heck yeah! I'm down, baby! Paradise Pedals leaves from Salt in Kakaako in that thing next to Moku that looks like a barn. But because there was something happening on that Friday night when we met, the meeting place was in front of Morning Brew on Auahi Street. Before shoving off, the Captain of our bike, Caleb, had us sign waivers, gave us the 411 on safety, and told us that we had about 40 minutes at each stop. So the two vertically challenged bikers, ahem, me and D, sat up front on the seats that were height adjustable. Then, all but one, took seats where they could also pedal and power the bike too. And the one that didn't, sat on the 3-seater bench in the back and cruised because there are no pedals back there! Can you guess who that was?! Hint. She's a famous "Auntie". See the picture below and you'll see her back there. LOL! Once we started rolling, Caleb tapped into his Bluetooth enabled speaker and we rocked to Livin' on a Prayer and some Christmas jams as we headed over to our first stop, Honolulu Beerworks. Once there, we had 40 minutes to feed our faces and tank some brews before moving on. The next stop was the Waikiki Brewing Company. We knew the drill at this point so we immediately ordered our grub and drinks before moving on to our last and final stop, Café Duck Butt. The Brewseum was actually meant to be our last stop, but since we were having such a fun time at Café Duck Butt, we wrapped it up there instead. Caleb reserved a private karaoke room for us ahead of time and we were so thankful for that. We had lots of food, drinks, and of course, did a lot of singing. No mics needed! Just a bunch of nuts singing our guts out! Patrons on the outside may have mistaken our singing for wailing, but no, it was singing, thank you very much. The bike has a motor on it that was used most of the way while we supplemented it with our own manpower. And by the way, that famous "Auntie", Nadine C., pedaled while singing her heart out the whole time after she "rested" in the beginning. Mahalo plenty, Kathy, for your awesome suggestion! Also to Caleb for being our amazing Captain! Cheehoo!

Cup & Bear Holders at every seat! =)

Fantastically Fun!! =D! Pedaling in Paradise on a Tropical Christmas night 12.21.18.... Endorphin EXCITEMENT!, assorted HAPPY Beverages & TASTY Plates to Share at every stop, SINGING endearing melodies & ab workout worthy tunes, surrounded with LOVE & LAUGHTER of dear Friends makes for an UNFORGETTABLE night! =)! If you've patroned SALT or the greater Kaka'ako area with its healthy handful of bars, restaurants & microbreweries, you have likely heard & seen a Paradise Pedals "Caravan" teetering along the side roads with a Lively & Jolly Ol' group of pedalers laughing/singing their way to the next stop! It looked like so much fun & it didn't take much to convince my Yelp buddies to join in on the fun! =) Each Paradise Pedals Caravan Contraption has seats for up to 12 riders -- 9 active pedaling seats & 3 lame duck seats for those who need a break! :) Lol We chose the Kaka'ako Bar Tour 7:00-9:30pm which included 3 stops.... HONOLULU BREWING CO. -- My Fav of the Local Microbreweries with an excellent selection of Beer & a lovely semi-outdoor beer garden ^^ WAIKIKI BREWING CO. -- bigger selection of full meals and tasty eats! Full bar available here =) CAFE DUCK BUTT -- PP reserved a Karaoke Room for us! Fantastic Karaoke selection $1 per song^^ Delicious Korean food & a Delightful assortment of Flavored Sojus! "Keep Smiling, Keep Shining.... Knowing You can Always Count on Me for sure.... That's what friends are for...." =) Our driver Caleb was the Coolest! He kept us on schedule for each 40 min stop, and actually extended our last stop at Duck Butt for over an hour! He even sang Aladdin's part of A Whole New World -- sweet. By the time we pedaled our way way back to the start/end point in the "Barn" at SALT it was almost 11pm! No one had a problem with that as we were all having so much fun! =D The Pedal-mobile has a motor but request to turn it off for some extra pedaling action! Happy Beverages will fuel your ride no problem! ;) It also has a Bluetooth capable Speaker so load up your favorite tunes on your smartphone! $30 per person for Kama'aina or Military discount -- usually $40 per person Does not include the food or drink at the stops but TOTALLY WORTH IT! Esp for 4 hrs! =D Register online & pay with CC. Pedal, Eat, Drink, Sing & Be Merry!! ^_^! It will be an EPIC night to remember!! MERRY CHRISTMAS to all & to all a Goodnight!! =)!

Fun hostess with the mostess

What a fun birthday experience for Beer lovers of all ages! I booked a full Monday beer tour bike at 1 pm a couple weeks out. They were very flexible with reservations. It was for my husband's 39th birthday & he LOVES brewing beer & this was a great fit. They have various times. We did daytime while Grandma babysat. Tour was expensive $470 with tax but could seat up to 16 (4 non peddlers) & we only needed 12 seats. Our hostess, the Annihilator, was fun & laid back; seemed like she loved her job. Bring water & sunscreen!

Had a blast with paradise pedals! I wish the tour went a little longer, but it was still an amazing time. Special shout out to Caleb for a great tour full of fun facts and good tunes! Can't wait to come back again! Also, thanks for showing me Cafe Duck Butt! Definitely a gem I wish I had found sooner!! Mahalo!!

Jamaal R.

Brew n Bites Art Tour was a really fun way to take in some of the amazing artwork throughout Honolulu's art district. of Kaka'ako! We all hopped on the 15 passenger bike and our driver Duff put on some laid back island vibes and we pedaled (it is motorized if you wanna relax a little lol) to some of the most creative and beautiful murals you will ever see!! Tour also includes a stop at Honolulu Beerworks for lunch (sandwich options) and a pint of beer and lasted about 2.5 hours Definitely an activity for anyone who appreciates art and well worth trying out!

Our group!

For my 40th birthday, I wanted to do something fun and out of the ordinary so my sweetest friend booked Paradise Pedals Hawaii for our party of 16. Before hand, she worked with the company to map out 2-3 destinations in the Ward area. We met at Makers and Tasters (plenty of parking) at 4pm on a Sunday, signed waivers, and were off by 4:15pm. What you need to know is that there is NO motor at all on the bike and only 10 seats have pedal power. Also only the first 4 seats near the driver are adjustable so your shorter bikers will need to sit there. I'm not going to lie, pedaling was challenging and my thighs were burning, but it was super fun to do as a group. We didn't drink while we were riding on the bike so don't think you have to drink on this tour. They also offer tours in the morning. The driver was super sweet and had a great play list to keep us motivated. We ended up stopping at Doraku and Panya and had ample time at each stop. We really had the best time and I would recommend it to anyone, but I'll only do it again if I had someone pedaling for me.

See all

He stories and jokes are funny! Let me start off by saying this is the most cheapest tour I've ever gotten in Hawaii! You can't beat this price... uncle Tony was my favorite part of the tour! He is hilarious and has a big heart! For a full day of activities and a tour can't beat that price. We started at 7am until 3pm Anyways, uncle Tony is the best! He is hilarious. He kept us entertain the whole ride. He was joking and singing. I felt so comfortable. I get car motion sickness but not during this tour. Was laughing the whole time! About this tour: They offer free pickup from Waikiki. -You get pick-up up from your location (for me it was 333seaside ave in Waikiki) - he starts picking up other people in other locations - next thing he takes us driving to coral crater where we did zip lining! We did 3 Ziplines. (LOVED THIS PLACE) -he offered us free Hawaiian donuts -during the drive he was letting us what is what as we pass by locations and its brief history about it. Such as Pearl Harbor or good inexpensive places to visit. - next place we went was snorkeling at Kapolei. His niece was the one who guided us. She is so sweet and such an amazing diver! - we went to a restaurant that uncle Tony recommended. It was so yummy! - lastly, we went on home. We entertainment from uncle Tony and more history lessons! I failed history twice in college. I really hate learning about history but uncle Tony kept it entertaining. I learned so much from him. If you're ever in Hawaii I suggest doing this tour. I promise you there is not better deal.

I actually saved money by booking through them compared to online, because they fully explained the differences in tours/tiers and picked the cheapest ones that satisfied our criteria. It was clear that they knew what they were talking about. Ideally, you should call Shaka before you get to Hawaii and plan your vacation early... but we didn't. Luckily, we stopped by in person and Shaka Tours saved our vacation. They planned our whole itinerary, got us tickets to things that looked closed, and advised us against packages that we came in considering. It actually felt like a tourist stop itself, because they explained the local geography and customs using google maps and videos, and suggested can't-miss, free, no-reservation needed stuff like the Diamond Head Hike. They were easy to reach by text/call at any time, even when we woke up very early because we wanted to make the most of the day. The tours they did book for us were all great with friendly guides.

As first-time snorkelers traveling with a child, our experience did not align with those expectations. Equipment distribution was poorly handled. Masks were handed out with little to no instruction, and basic questions were met with a rude and dismissive attitude. Overall communication and service were lacking. Once in the water, guidance was minimal and inconsistent. The experience felt rushed and disorganized, with limited support for guests who were new to snorkeling. The tone and treatment we received also made us uncomfortable as Asian guests. After sharing feedback, the company clarified in writing that they do NOT advertise or position this as a beginner-friendly snorkeling tour. Based on both that clarification and our experience, I would strongly recommend that beginners or families looking for clear instruction and attentive guidance consider other operators. Sharing this to help future guests set accurate expectations before booking.

Will is a good guy and Velohana has a small selection of enthusiast-driven products and brands for shoes, gear, and obviously bikes. What fell short for me was trustworthy service for the money. He's a one-man shop which is commendable, but when you have customers and a fitting going on, one or both suffers in that time. Bike fitting was okay, but what fell short for me was the given expectation of a pro-level bike fitting for the majority. We had a decent fitting, checked all the measurements for stack, reach, seeing my level of athleticism, but nothing that went too physiologically in-depth. We checked my foot sizing but only measured my left foot. We didn't explore different insole supports or varying q-factor. We did not look at any possibly leg length discrepancy. We used the existing saddle that I had only and did not swap with others to explore saddle options. From the bike fitting, I went for a 2-hour ride and started to feel the same pains that I had before. Was there really a point to getting a fit from here? What really frustrated me was when we settled on best changes to make, we had to change parts on the bike. I left the bike in the shop and upon receiving it, the chain pops off the front derailleur within my first ride. This did not happen with my previous tune. Ok, maybe there was a little adjustment to be made. My original white bar tape he said was taped wrong and badly. Thanks for noticing my work, sir. When I received it, the black bar tape was wrapped inwards instead of outwards. There was a lot of little snobbish comments about how my bike was originally setup (handlebars, bar tape, saddle choice, condition and authenticity of parts.) In service, you would never accuse something having fake parts without actual proof. Coming back, Will believes my REAR DERAILLEUR is causing the chain to pop off and I most likely have counterfeit parts causing the issue. There was no checking if it had an alignment issue from the dropouts other than a visual check. His recommendation was to replace the RD to fix my FD chain popping off issue... I'm quite dumbfounded and regret giving the go-ahead to swap the part. He's a parts replacer, not a mechanic. To me, I figure to give this review a thorough attempt so others don't go through the same thing, I'll give him the benefit of the doubt and we swap the part. Ride the bike a second time, same issue. In 10 minutes, the chain pops off going up the big chain ring and now there's light rubbing when in the easiest gears. It actually got worse! At this point, I'm no longer returning to the shop for service. Upon inspection of the front derailleur, the FD was out of parallel to the large chainring and the H screw was too far in to make a smooth shift after I made those adjustments, we are all good.
