“Great group of staff. We had a great time and learned a lot along the way. I am not sure what else to say but you need to try it.”

“Absolutely breathtaking views and overall wonderful experience!!! Highly recommend for those wanting to experience Hawaii in a truly unique way!!!”
Bike Maui’s Haleakala sunrise bike tour combines pre-dawn summit time with a guided downhill ride featuring famous 29 switchbacks.
“I’m finishing this review at the end of our trip, which included a snorkel trip to Lanai, surf lessons, and parasailing as well. We thought our teens wouldn’t enjoy the up early for sunrise, but they agree this was their top excursion. Highly recommend! The tour guides set you up for safety, success, and some really fun photo stops too! Would repeat this tour.”
Self-guided Haleakala bike ride plus Upcountry towns like Makawao and Haiku, with gear and transport included from Bike Maui.
“Not as advertised. We had to reload onto bus for 9 miles (40%) of the ride. Had to make constant “safety” stops. This was not a self guided tour at all. Completely disappointed.”
Maui Haleakalā sunrise bike descent for small groups with transfers, helmets, water, snacks, and a Makawao town stop.
“This experience with Mountain Riders was amazing! The views, the history of the mountain, the riding! The driver Abe was so careful and drove safely the whole time. Spencer did an excellent job with explaining some history and significant points of the mountain. I was nervous to ride and Manny really put me at ease and helped me have the best time! My Portuguese sister Nani was the best! I highly recommend this excursion.”
Haleakala crater stories, then a 15-mile summit bike descent on Kona bikes to Makawao, self-guided at your pace with included gear.
“The guided tour is much better. If you booked a self guided my recommendation is to switch to a guided bike tour”
A small-group bike descent on Haleakala, starting at 6,500 feet and coasting to sea level with guides, snacks, and town stops in Maui.
“Bobbie & Nanie we’re our guides & they were very entertaining & professional. Be prepared for colder temps on the mountain, but was a great exhilarating ride down the mountain! Can’t ride your breaks down the mountain, so this may not be for you if your afraid of some speed. The bike were comfortable and safe. Scenery in the “Up Country” was true Maui & the wonderful scent of the flowers & trees along the way were sensational! Would highly recommend this tour!!”
A small-group predawn bike ride from 6,500 feet on Haleakalā with scenic stops in Makawao and Kula, plus snacks and expert guidance.
“The ride was really nice and the weather was clear. Definitely worth going to see the mountain and its views. Bobby or guide was very entertaining and put everyone at ease. He had very compelling story to tell and I appreciated the personal story he shared.”
Self-paced downhill biking from Haleakala with Mountain Riders: small group, helmet and bike included, plus water, snacks, and town stops.
“Fun, one of a kind experience. Definitely focused on the bike ride vs. history of volcano etc. be prepared to ride 20-30 mph down a nicely paved road. (That caught me a bit off guard). But I did it twice without pressure to be the fastest. Weather was bad so we didn’t get to see what I imagine from other pictures would be beautiful scenery. 40 minutes spent in small town was fun to poke in and out of shops. Rained so hard we ended up not riding the road back to the start, even though they gave us the option.”
Sunrise Haleakala guided bike tour with Kona bikes, Haleakala National Park time, Fabulous 29 switchbacks, and Makawao lunch.
“We had great tour guides- Dan and Tim. Dan gave us tons of Maui information and knows the island well, and Tim was funny and had lots of knowledge as well. Unfortunately, it rained so the bike ride was not really fun, nothing to see because of the rain clouds, and just short ride altogether. The high cost of $538 for 2 people should include more, like breakfast and lunch. Out of all of our Maui tours, this was the most disappointing.”
