Breathtaking Views - worth every penny! - What an incredible experience!! Being able to witness the pure natural beauty of the sunrise up at the top of the crater was unlike anything I’ve ever done. Although I thought I was prepared with multiple layers it was still VERY cold - but totally worth it!!
The bike ride down was also super scenic and very memorable - and much warmer! We stopped and enjoyed coffee and visited a few shops on the way down. Be sure to BRING a backpack with you. I was under the impression it would be provided, so we purchased a bag in the town on our way down to store our extra layers and water bottles.
Our tour guide Eddie was extremely “punny” and I can’t think of EddieBuddy else I would have rather done the tour with. He kept things light hearted and fun while also reiterating how to safely bike down the dangerous switchbacks.
Highly recommended adding this tour to your list of “must dos” while visiting Maui

Fog prohibited sunrise but still a fantastic ride and overall day of exploring! - 2nd time doing this tour and I will say the first was better, but this one is still great and our guide Eddie was super fun, funny, knowledgeable, and a good driver! No one can control the weather but we literally saw nothing but fog at the summit. Very disappointing, but definitely not the tour’s fault. Bike ride was still fun and clear skies when we got back down under the clouds. I wish they hadn’t shortened the route from 2 years ago where we now have to load bikes back up and and drive again before exploring the cowboy town of Makawao. Great quality bikes, instructions, and concept! I only wish it wasn’t over $200/person and that sunrises could be guaranteed!!

Haleakala bike tour - Eddie, was fabulous. Great tour guide. Highly recommend the tour. Everything went smoothly with no issues. Eddie made sure we stayed on track even though we were on the self guided ride down.

Unforgettable experience of a lifetime - Riding the switchbacks was thrilling! And we loved being able to shop and explore the little town too. There isn’t a specified time you have to return and that freedom was lovely. The driver was both informative and entertaining, I felt safe and loved seeing the bright stars in anticipation of the sunrise.

Guides make it even better! - Even though the clouds prevented the spectacular sunrise we hoped for, our guide (Corey) was awesome and made sure we experienced all the tour had to offer. He was full of knowledge and history about the island, witty, sharp and just an overall delight first thing in the morning! And, let’s be honest, riding a bike down a mountain on Maui is not a bad way to start your day! Well worth the experience!!

March 2024 please read - The bike tour has been cut down in time and no food is provided. You feel rushed to ride your bike quickly during the first half so that they can take you back in their van to drive to the second half. Would recommend getting your own bikes, don’t need to use this
