It's not only a wonderful way to really be part of the history, but you also get to see some stunning views of Hawaii's coast too!

The Sunday rides run for 90 minutes and are fully-narrated, so along the way you can hear stories about host sugar cane trains were used on sugar plantations, learn about points of historic interest, and even hear about the "ghost town" of Gilbert!

You can even stop at the end of the line for a while to admire the view at Kahe Point, so take your camera!
