Eighteen mile bike ride with a great payoff! The ride goes east leaving Waikiki going around the outside of Diamond Head. Follow the road all the way to the Walalae golf course then go left to the highway. On the highway there is a lot of road noise but there is a nice shoulder for riding. This shoulder continues almost all the way to Hanama Bay. The real pay off is from Hanama Bay to Makapuu Point. Along this stretch the views are spectacular! Unfortunately the road is narrow and windy - not very bike friendly so be very careful here! For a great view of Makapuu and beyond take the lighthouse road to the lookout on top. The ride is uphill all the way from the parking lot to the lookout, but it is downhill the rest of the way! From there to Makapuu beach is a short ride but road is very narrow and windy. If you want to get back to Waikiki quickly you can hop on the bus from Sealife Park and be back in about 20 minutes.
