★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 745 reviews · 7 hours (approx.) · from $272Our pick

Watch Haleakala sunrise, then ride 15 miles downhill through Maui with your own pace, gear, shuttle, and Makawao stop.

“The views were incredible! I 10/10 recommend watching the sunrise here. However the bike experience was not what I thought it would be. The guides were extremely nice and helpful but they talked far too much. I would have liked more facts and a direct tour than all of the story telling. Also if you have any biking experience the instructional talk was extensive and childish. They talked to us like we have never rode a bike before. Then the ride down consisted of lots of stopping and story telling. The tour also took around 8-9 hrs. If you are time constrained I would be hesitant but if you are…”

We loved the photo stop while driving up Haleakala and the lunch break in the town of Makawao. We would recommend Mountain Riders to everyone.”

11.Maui Haleakala Self Paced Downhill Bike Tour with Mountain Riders

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 58 reviews · 2 to 3 hours (approx.) · from $139

Review of Mountain Riders’ Maui Haleakala downhill bike tour, with route details, price, safety tips, age limits, and honest advice on value.

“If you imagine biking from the volcano top down to Paia, none of the tour groups are allowed to go through the neighborhoods separating the two anymore. You bike the top 6-8 miles twice and then are taken down to Makawao to do the final 5 miles. Our tour guide was very nice, informative and helpful. It was well organized and beautiful. I don't feel the websites are very upfront about this fact though.”

12.Haleakala Morning Best Guided Bike Tour with Bike Maui

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 44 reviews · 6 hours (approx.) · from $272

Ride Haleakala’s famous switchbacks with Bike Maui, see sunrise and crater views, explore Makawao, and weigh the cost, weather, and effort.

“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.”

We met him close to trail head and rode up the mountain for 15 minutes which was a memorable experience to ride up into the clouds. I booked this with my daughter who is 7 years old and he did a great job giving us a safe and memorable experience. Book Rob for a gnarly experience or for a safe ride in the mountains. 🤙🏽”
