Hike through Doi Suthep National Park, then blast downhill by mountain bike to Huay Tueng Thao, with small-group guides and Thai meals.

Bike and hike the Columbia River Gorge from Portland with a local guide, included gear, and classic waterfalls like Multnomah and Latourell.
“Clearly seeing the Falls were the highlight. Omitting walk to top of Latourell and Multnomah Falls disappointing. If too much is being crammed in, the skip the blueberry farm and Vista House and stick to just the Falls. Also, the guide should leave her "woke" commentary at home. Did not sign-up for a White Man…”

“Where do I start?! From start to finish, we were looked after by our amazing host Paul. We were picked up at our rental house south of the city, and we didn’t have to worry about anything after that. The hike was amazing and not too challenging. Paul knew so much about the woods and…”
Waikiki to Diamond Head by e-bike, then a guided crater hike with big views, helmets and tickets included, small-group pacing on Oahu.
“This was a wonderful tour. You should feel confident in your ebike riding skills as Waikiki is busy. Our tour guide/owner was exceptional at communicating. He was very knowledgeable, fun, and made sure to go at a good pace. The hike was fairly steep but worth the sore calf muscles I had the next day.…”
Ride Haleakalā downhill on custom Kona bikes from the summit area, guided on the way up, then self-paced through Makawao and Haiku.
