Kamloops50 Posted June 7, 2017 #2 Share Posted June 7, 2017 Which cruise line and ship would help. Also posting on the roll call for your cruise would help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver Sweethearts Posted June 8, 2017 #3 Share Posted June 8, 2017 has anyone done the excursion? heading out in October 2017? looks exciting just wondering how far up in altitude you go? Should be about 4,000 feet according to hawaiiactivities.com. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CT Sean Posted June 8, 2017 #4 Share Posted June 8, 2017 Kilauea summit is around 4000 feet so it's pretty hard to get any higher (without leaving the park and going up Mauna Loa or Mauna Kea) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silver Sweethearts Posted June 11, 2017 #6 Share Posted June 11, 2017 Just wondering about the altitude riding a bike. This from the website of a company offering the tours. No exact mention of altitude problems, but: "Rider Requirements: No complete beginners – all riders need to know how to ride a bike. Closed toed shoes and eye protection (sunglasses) are required. No pregnant women or riders with heart or respiratory problems are allowed on the tour." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare wishIweretravelling Posted June 12, 2017 #7 Share Posted June 12, 2017 Altitude is not an issue for Kilauea. As volcanoes go, it's fairly low. I haven't done a ship's excursion bike trip there, but I did one a few years ago with the primary biking vendor on the BI while on a land trip, and it was around the crater rim, which is a pretty flat route. However, much of that trail is now closed due to issues with air quality from the current eruptions. So, if the excursion is still going, it's not clear what route it will follow.

ChalkDust55 Posted June 12, 2017 #8 Share Posted June 12, 2017 Yes! We did this and had a ball. We are not pro bikers ... beach cruiser types. We had no problems with terrains or speed. Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
