Memorable Experience - Great trip. The guide had great advice for the best places to view the sunrise. We had great weather which made for amazing pictures. We way underestimated the cold. Gloves and hand warmers would have be great.

To the Top, just do it! - Sunrise was amazing above the clouds. We were able to go at our own pace on the ride down, so enjoyable. Breakfast in Makawao made the trip. Employees were extremely nice and gave a lot of insider tips.

So fun! - Sunrise was beautiful and the bike ride was so much fun! The switchbacks were thrilling and the ride through town was awesome as well. We stopped for a delicious breakfast before returning back. Worth the early wake up!

Don't Miss The Sunrise over the Crater - Sunrise was incredible and the bike stroll was very enjoyable as well. We stopped for coffee and some donuts in the local town half way thru the bike trip. Got a little wet bc we are riding in a rainforest and you never know, but it was still a nice ride. Mostly downhill riding on the brakes. Cars were very aware of you and passed when they could. NOW for the summit...dont underestimate the difference in temp up there. We did! We had pants, sweatshirts, and the windbreakers, but we needed GLOVES, BEANIES, and hand warmers! It only lasts for about 30-45 minutes, but it was brutal. Finally, our tour guide was great. Very informative, FUNNY, and made the 2 hour drive go by quickly. Highly recommend!

Not bike tours fault but... - I am giving 4 stars because my issue is with the fact that you can't bike continuously but have to bussed through the middle section of what would otherwise be a terrific ride. It's not the bike company's fault but the fact the town voted to not allow them to operate there. If this changes it would be worth it. Until then, it's not worth the money and time. You'd be better off paying the park reservation fee and seeing the amazing sunrise on your own.

Fun day - This was a great experience! I’m really glad we did it! I feel like the bikes could have been better for example the handle bars should have been higher!

Would consider a different excursion - Overall the trip was good but we did feel a bit mislead, the bike ride doesn’t start at the summit, it starts outside of the national park after all of the switchback that were mentioned in description and then you have to get on the bus to drive down more before riding again, just significantly less biking than expected. The speaker on the bus was broken so we didn’t get nearly as much guided narration up as others said in previous reviews. It also would have been nice to know sunrise view is heavily impacted by season so for September it was very cloudy and missed the sunrise. The parts we did were cool we just felt it wasn’t worth the price.
