Big Island Mountain Biking on Anna Ranch

Explore the cool uplands of Waimea on a guided mountain bike ride through historic Anna Ranch, a private working ranch set beneath the Kohala Mountains. After a short safety briefing and bike fitting, head out across green pastureland, lava rock and tropical vegetation while learning about the ranch's history and the legacy of Anna Lindsey Perry-Fiske.

The route crosses Kohakohau Stream and climbs nearly 1,200 feet through the ranch toward a scenic break point with wide views of Mauna Kea, Mauna Loa and Hualalai. Along the way, your guide shares stories about Hawaiian ranching culture and the history of the land before the ride turns back downhill toward the starting point.

High-end full-suspension mountain bikes help smooth out the rougher sections of trail, and the small-group format keeps the experience more personal.
