Tantalus
Tantalus (or Pu’u ‘Ōhi’a in Hawaiian) is a beautiful mountain ride right in the center of Honolulu. This half day ride is not hugely popular for other tours because the roads are too narrow for tour buses, but it’s perfect for an experienced rider. Get ready for winding turns and cut backs through the rainforest with unobstructed panoramic views of Diamond Head, Pearl Harbor, and the Punchbowl Cemetery. Check out some of the trails and stop for a hike along the way!
After enjoying the views, head Northwest to Pearl Harbor or take a ride around Diamond Head and Cruise the Crater.
