Cruiser Phil's / Bike Maui / Haleakalā Ecotours has been guiding bike riders down this landmark volcano for almost as long as its last eruption some 400+ years ago! The ride up is fun with a quick visit to the National Park included to see the crater firsthand, followed by some fun pictures jumping out of the clouds! Ride with Kimo to learn how they get those pictures! The ride itself starts just outside the National Park (limited by newer regulations limiting tour rides in the park itself) to enjoy the switchbacks - a video is included below! Those turns are not difficult - so don't let that part dissuade you from taking the tour. Stop at the town of Makawao for lunch (Freshies had a good menu) and ride like bandits back to the shop as the lag van holds traffic back a bit to clear the roadway for you! The island is open for business, save some small parts around Lahaina itself still recovering from the devastating fires of 2023, with limited impact elsewhere on the island. Take this trip now while the crowds are a bit lighter too, you won't regret it at all as Maui is just beautiful! Ka'anapala just north of Lahaina is hopping! read more

Our driver, Eddie, was fantastic. He was entertaining and informative. The bikes were in excellent condition, full helmet and the route is easy to follow. Eddie did a thorough job of making sure everyone was safe and how to navigate the roads on the bike. While we still highly recommend this activity, there were a few things that fell a bit short. With such an early start, the drive seemed to move slow with a few slow rolling stops to point out deer or a landmark. Sadly, the morning glow started and we had not yet reached the summit. Ultimately we parked and had only a few minutes to use the bathroom and get in place to watch the sunrise then boom back in the van. So that was roughly 2 hours driving in the van for less than 30 minutes at the summit. It was very rushed. It would have been nice to gotten there about 20 minutes sooner to watch the glow start. Dress in layers. There was a quick photo op on the drive down but no stop at the visitors center. The bike ride down. It was convenient to be able to leave a bag in the van with the layers of clothes and jackets no longer needed. We enjoyed the self guided having the chance to stop at our leisure and take photos. It is definitely a braking ride and be smart to use them. The fact that the law prohibits biking through Kula meant we had to stop, load the bikes, get back on the van and jump over the town. That takes a away a significant chunk of the ride. A nice stop in Makawao for coffee and a bite to eat. Having done this ride before the law made for a disappointing comparison. I would recommend this activity, however I'm not likely to do it again until the change the law to ride through Kula and arrive to the summit a few minutes earlier. read more

Tour ran on schedule, provided equipment was great, guys were very knowledgeable and overall if was a very unique and worthwhile experience.

We did the sunrise summit tour and bike down. First shuttle picked us up on time from our accommodations and dropped us off at the main location in Hailu. From there we were set up with helmets and gear for biking and listened to safety info. Definitely grab the pants and jackets that they offer, better to have them than not. Helmets were full over the head with mouth coverings. We wore our sunglasses underneath. I wish I had brought a cross body bag or similar to carry phones. There were plenty of opportunities to grab items out of the van on the bike ride down though! Our driver / tour guide Edie was wonderful. Very knowledgeable and honest about making sure we had a safe trip. The bike ride down was awesome. Lots of stops for pictures and opportunities to learn about the island. Our guide drew was also very knowledgeable and told us all the great food spots when we stopped in Makawao. Our group had about 12 riders and a large variety of abilities / speeds but i felt that everyone could go the pace they preferred which was great! read more

Very fun trip! We did the self-guided bike tour which I highly recommend if you know how to ride a bike. Personally, I think the guided tour is more dangerous because you're biking around people who may have no idea what they're doing. Pack warm clothes. They give you a windbreaker jacket and pants but you need to bring at least a sweatshirt + hay + gloves because it's COLD at the top. You'll shed layers as you go down. After sunrise, you will take the bus partially down the mountain then start biking the first leg. You then get back on the bus, drive past the rich people who had biking outlawed, then ride some more. This unfortunately cuts at least 1/3 out of what the trip used to be, which stinks. Regardless it's still a super fun experience. Eddie Buddy, our guide, was awesome and had great fun facts and stories during our trip. Be sure to stop in the cookie shop in the town you pass through. read more

When we go on vacation, my wife and I usually look for biking tours of the area we're visiting because we like to be active and it's usually a great way to explore an area in more depth than by car or on foot. The sunrise tour of Haleakala quickly rose to the top for us even though it requires a $700 prepayment and getting up at 2:30am for the hotel pick up. The day before the tour we rearranged our schedule, forgoing other fun activities, to make sure we could get to bed super early ahead of the ride. Come morning we're groggy but ready to go at 3am... time ticks by and no sign of the driver, no call or email from the company. I proceed to call their number, no one answers. I email them, no reply. COMPLETELY GHOSTED. Having gotten up pre-dawn on vacation and PREPAID, I would expect a good business would be pro-active, apologize, and try to make things right. Not this company. No calls, no emails, no refunds. I called them again in the afternoon the day of my scheduled tour. Again no answer. I left a message and gave them the rest of the day to call me back before resorting to posting this review. They clearly don't care, so I'm now contacting my bank to dispute their $700 charge as a fraudulent SCAM. read more

Bike Maui - Comfirmation for pickup - Bike Rentals Near Me - Haiku, Hawaii

I did the guided bike tour. Javier was our bus driver. He was amazing! Gave us history of the island while we made our way up. It's very early though, so many people were sleeping. On the way up, he did say we have a 50/50 chance of actually seeing the sun because it's winter time, and generally much more cloudy than in summer. Well, we hit the jackpot since it's clear. The guided bike ride was really great. The bus group is split into 3 smaller groups for the ride. Our guide helped us sort ourselves out with fast paced riders in the front and slower in the back. There were many stopping points for the group to meet up. At first, we would stop frequently to sort out the line up. And after that, we stopped less frequently. Our guide gave us culture lessons of Hawaii, and really amazing jokes when we stopped. He also told us the route ahead and the best approach for different riding styles. The bikes themselves were well maintained. They gave a quick lesson on where the gears and brakes are on the bike before you set out. And the ride started with a quick "demo" of walking the bike up an about 25 feet and riding down to the van to get familiar and to make sure the size is correct. This was so much fun! If you are proficient on a bike, it is a unique and exhilarating experience. read more

This is my second time going down Haleakala on a bike and this was even better than the first. Do your research, and you'll end up picking this company. The first time was almost 20 years ago, on a guided bike tour, which starts with a leader on a bike in the front, and a guide van on the back to keep the cars away. We would stop to take pictures (as a group) at various lookout points, or we would move to the side (as a group) to let other cars pass by. This is a good option for people who aren't really comfortable riding on roads with cars, or for people who might get lost. This option is also great since there are lots of photographers around to take pictures of you and your friends. Well, I didn't have a choice this time because the only 2 seats left on the day I wanted to go last week was on the SELF-GUIDED EXPRESS TOUR. The self guided tour takes you up in a van/bus and drops you off at 6,500ft (skipping the tour of the summit) and off you go, down the volcano. I was a little apprehensive because it truly is self-guided; you need to know when to turn and how to get back, all by yourself. BEST TOUR GUIDE AWARD goes to: Kimo Rice, our fabulous tour guide/driver/comedian. He seriously is the BEST. He made sure we saw all the landmarks for the turns we were going to have to navigate, telling us "if you see this, you're going the wrong way, go back" and making us repeat what to do/how to get back. Not only did he make sure we knew how to get back, but he gave a little history about all kinds of things, I don't want to ruin it for you, but his stories and background about the land/area etc is entertaining and educational at the same time...he definitely has a lot of great stories. I live in Hawaii and still learned a lot on our drive up Haleakala. Don't let this man go, he is seriously the reason I will come back and do this again the next time we are on Maui. And Kimo if you're reading this, next time you're on Oahu, let us know!! THE BIKES: the bikes had multiple gears, and disc pad brakes, so I never worried about slowing down, or shifting gears to take the uphills. 97% of the ride is downhill, but there are a few uphills, and it was nice to have a multi-gear bike. BTW, other companies use cruiser (1 gear) bikes, so be careful where you spend your money. This company has great bikes. THE GEAR: if you don't have a jacket, they have rain jackets, fleece vests, backpacks, etc that you can borrow for your ride. The top starts out very cold, especially when you pick up speed going downhill. THE HELMETS: they use motorcycle helmets. If you've never used one, you can't hear anything, so you can't hear the cars very well and it's hard to hear each other. Make sure you have your hand signals with each other to communicate. The roads are paved very well and clearly marked the entire trip. THE SELF GUIDED EXPRESS TOUR was actually perfect for us. We didn't have to wake up so early for the sunrise (meeting time was 9:30am), we didn't have to waste time up at the summit (10,000 feet) - we did that part on our own on a different day. I did the ride down with my 17yr old son, and it was actually better for us that we were on our own, as my son wanted to go down pretty fast. He does ride on the road quite a bit, but this was his first time going down a volcano. If we were in a group and had to go at the groups pace, he wouldn't have had as much fun. I did bring our own handle bar mirrors for each side, and front and back flashing lights for better visibility. SAFETY FIRST: This company really does go the extra mile. In addition to the ridiculous motorcycle helmets (which I'm actually glad we had), they hired a person to sit on the road checking us in one by one on the final stretch right before the sharp turns. Mary sits on the side of the road from 10am til the last person comes rolling down the hill to 1) check us off (to make sure we made it!) and 2) to tell us we better SLOW DOWN on the upcoming turns. I always follow my son when we ride on the road, but she insisted that I go first for the last part, because of the tricky turns. I'm glad she did, so I would die first if I took the turn too fast, just kidding. I never felt like we were in danger, but we both have ridden on the road before so we knew what to sort of expect with the cars etc. LUNCH: we stopped in Makawao to grab some unique things like the Maui Cookie lady cookies, and the acai bowl with guava butter from the store across that. We headed back and bought more food from Haiku from the food trucks in the same lot as Haleakala Bike. There's also Colleen's restaurant which has to-go items. BRING: your own water bottle, snack, chapstick, sunscreen, sunglasses, shoes and socks, and a good nights rest. It will be a lot of fun! read more

Haleakala sunrise and bike ride down the mountain is a must do! Bike Maui took care of the accommodations and really put safety first. With initial reluctance, they out my concerns at ease. The sunrise was beautiful. Word of caution...layer up. It was so cold at 55 degrees. After the beautiful sunset, Bike Maui drove us a part of the way down the mountain to start our self guided bike ride. The first 7 miles, they had the leader car follow us.:.that was reassuring. The last 7 miles, they gave us very good instructions to bike the rest of the way to a little town where one could hang out a bit or the option we chose was to bike directly back to the shop. We left our personal belongings in the leader van. Got caught in a downpour biking back to the shop. We beat the van back and they were so kind to accommodate and drive our belongings back to the shop so we could head home. This was out of their way given the fact that they were at the little town waiting for the other bikers. So appreciate if the staff and their safety first This a a must do when in Maui. Don't just ride up to the summit and drive back home. The views were spectacular. It's not every day you can bike down a mountain and the clouds are right at the same level as you! read more

Definitely an experience to remember. I was dreading the bus ride up as I get motion sickness, but our driver Corey made it an incredibly smooth and fun and informative ride. Watching the sunrise was very special. Corey got us there before almost any other tour. It was indeed very cold and windy - bring your winter gear even though it seems weird as you will be standing still for about an hour and will need to conserve your heat. It's really special to just take the time to watch the sun rise over the other worldly crater. After the sunrise you get transferred to the bike portion. We did the guided tour because of reading on here how dangerous it was and how many cars there were. I would definitely recommend that guided tour to people who are infrequent cyclists but my spouse and I are fairly experienced cyclists and found it too slow paced and would rather have been going at our own pace down the volcano. There are definitely far more cars and many more (albeit up and down) hills during rush hour Seattle. That said the equipment was high quality and well maintained and we had to pedal about 15 minutes total I would say - the Disney land version of a bike ride. Minus one star because for the price you pay for this tour some water bottles or granola bars would be nice. read more

Well-organized and experienced. Downgrade on stars is purely for comment #6 1) They're not kidding to have winter clothing for the summit sunrise segment. 2) Bring a breakfast snack or maybe even a hot chocolate 3) If you're coming from Wailea, you'll be in the van awhile picking up other guests along the way 4) The bike portion is pure "coasting" - almost no pedaling at all 5) The guides are knowledgeable and chatty, very friendly. 6) The cancellation policy is not flexible. My friend injured herself swimming the day before. The company required a local doctors note. However, when we went to an urgent care to get a note, the RN wanted $200. That didn't make sense, so we were out of luck. Doing the ride solo was still fun, but not what I would have chosen. read more

Beware! More dangerous than you think or they tell you as you are bicycling with traffic going both ways and likely that on occasion you might cross into other lane or oncoming traffic may cross into your lane on some of the turns. This happens to someone in our group and was hit by on oncoming tour bus. No incident report was filed and instead rest of group felt rushed to catch up to another group. Luckily after an ER visit wiith up to a 5k insurance deductible, nothing was broken or an internal bleeding found. The expression of feeling like you got hit by a bus is exactly what happens in this instance. We were never given the other tour bus's information as only the bus that was following us had a conversation with the other driver. We had to start after the national park on the way down as several deaths caused the bike tour to start at about 6500 elevation. We also had to hop back on the bus for several miles as other reported deaths during due to other accidents and deaths. No need for a guide as they rush you out from top of mountain as soon as sun rises and would check with national park on their sponsored hiking tours instead. Hope this doesn't happen to another family and hope they shut down ride entirely l. In fact, locals and hospital call the ride the Maui Deathkill. BEWARE!!!! read more

We got to see a beautiful sunrise that morning. Cory was an awesome driver/ guide. He was very informative and made the drive up to Haleakala , enjoyable. We didn't need to use the jackets and pants that they offered in their shop. The breakfast/ lunch restaurant in Paia was very tasty. I would reccommend them to family and friends when they go to Maui to watch the sunrise. read more

We had so much fun with this tour. Our driver and tour guide Marlin was so funny and knowledgeable. I get super duper car sick so I took Bonin 1 hour before we even left our hotel. Glad I did! The ride up and down the volcano is super winding and in the dark going up. He did a great job with putting the AC on full blast which helped a lot! We got to the top of the Volcano and let me tell you....... It was cold. Please layer and dress really really really warm. Like winter clothes warm. The sunrise was absolutely stunning. We did the bike tour going back down and it was so much fun. The bikes are pro quality and felt super safe going down. The switch backs weren't bad at all either. Just take your time going down the hill. Overall one of the best experience we had. read more

We had a sunrise tour with a bike ride down the volcano. Our pickup time was scheduled for 1:45am we were waiting from 1:30am. No one came to pick us up at 1:45am. No one came at 2am. No one came at 3am. After over 10 calls during that time with no answer. I finally get a hold of the driver who said I wasn't on the list. The following morning I called again spoke to multiple people who stated they would look into what happened. No one called me back. Now it's the following day. I sent multiple emails and asked to speak to the manager/owner Louis. Again another full day and nothing. They took over $1000 from me and I have nothing to show for it and now they are giving me the run around when Im just trying to get my money back. read more

Wow! What an amazing trip! We decided to skip the sunrise and do a morning self guided tour instead. Lucky for us we ended up with our guide, Kimo. He made our trip up the mountain amazing. He made us laugh from the second we got there till the moment we left. He was so knowledgeable about the land and the island, it blew our expectations out of the water. Kimo went above and beyond for our group. What we thought was just going to be another day on our vacation, turned out to be one of our favorites. Amazing experience from start to finish with this company. Would definitely recommend booking with them. P.s. KIMO DESERVES A RAISE read more

We (son & wife) did the Guided Sunrise Tour. WE had a great support team that took care of us! Marlin, Drew, and Larry all played a valuable part in giving us great and safe experiences. I did the tour about 10-years ago and the current restrictions does take a little off the tour .... But I would do in again with Cruiser Phil's if we had friends that had not been. Highly recommend you dress in multiple layers with a hat and gloves! It was a great sunrise - but cold and very windy. read more

We loved our entire day with this excursion. The bus tour/ride up was perfect for the early morning. Everything was quick at the start and we got on our way right away. The sunrise was spectacular, and instructions for the ride were easy. We did self-guided and it was perfect. Nobody rushes you, and the break at the mid-ride was a welcome break because we were able to then take off the wind breaker provided layer and finish the ride in our own shorts and light sweatshirts. We did the recommended stops for breakfast and coffee, and it made the whole morning just as we wanted. Thanks for the memories my family built biking Haleakalā! read more

this is a MUST DO experience for anyone coming to Maui! And this is a must do experience with THIS company! My wife and I had such an amazing time and learned so much about the culture and history of the island. Our tour guide, EDDY BUDDY, was phenomenal! He was hilarious, and kept us entertained the entire tour. He was an amazing driver, and made us feel very safe the whole time. He's also an amazing photographer and gave us some awesome ideas to do for some great pics! Highlights about the tour: The tour bus is extremely comfortable. Our tour included breakfast which was at a beautiful location, and there were many options we could choose from! I had the country breakfast, which included eggs, bacon, toast and hot cocoa. The tour also provided us with some parkas to wear when we got to the summit! NOTE: Pack warm clothes because it gets really really cold up there! Overall, this experience is well worth it! I highly recommend this to anyone who wants to experience the beauty of nature, and experience something they'll never forget. Thank you Haleakala Bike Company for putting this together, and thank you EDDY BUDDY for being the greatest tour guide of all time! read more

We recently did the Haleakala Sunset/stargazing. We had the best time. Lots of beautiful breathtaking view. Our guide Michael was a wealth of information and we had so much fun with him. Would take this tour again in a heartbeat cause what better place to see the sun go down and stars shine. read more

The sunrise and views overlooking Maui were absolutely stunning but if I had to do it again I would save the money, rent bikes and pay $30 for a park pass. We have family on island so that is definitely easier said than done if you are just visiting briefly. Be prepared for only 20-30 mins of biking for an 8 hour day. You do get to stop in a little town half way down but by that time we were ready to get back. The tour guide was extremely salty about the Maui County and liked to share his point of view on many MANY things. Lots of talking and time killing waiting for the guided tour to catch up. Dress crazy warm for the top and if you think you are wearing enough you probably aren't. It was absolutely freezing and I had a neck warmer, hand warmers, ear warmers, gloves, leggings, waterproof pants, long sleeve, hoodie, jacket. The winds were also whipping hard! read more

My wife and I did this as an excursion for our Hawaiian Island cruise on the Pride of America. Since we were at port overnight in Maui, we were able to experience the sunrise on our second day here. Bike Maui picked us up on their shuttle near the port and took us to their location and then up the mountain. It was a great experience to see the sunrise and then bike down. Our guide was not just anybody but it was Eddie Buddy!! He and all of his "dad" jokes were great. He really added to the experience by bring humor, personality, and fun to the adventure. My wife was scared of the biking part, as she had not ridden a bike in over a decade, but the expression "it's like riding a bike" is true for a reason. It took no-time at all for her to get comfortable. The views of the sunrise and down the mountain, plus the experience riding down the mountain were something we will never forget and so worth the 1:30 AM wakeup call. Our only improvement opportunity is that there felt like a lot of wasted time post-sunrise. Our trip time went over and there was multiple times where we were sitting around waiting for something or just killing time. Given that we were up early and couldn't wait to get back for a nap, it made this "delays" feel extra long and not the best. But that was minor in the overall experience. read more

Wow! Eddie Buddy is the man! Great tour guide! The tour was awesome! Highly recommend trying it out! Dress warm in the morning.

Book the self-guided bike tour if you love sunrises above the clouds and biking downhill at your own pace! What is this? It's a group tour to see the sunrise from the top of Haleakala (a dormant volcano), followed by a 23 mile self guided bike ride downhill from Haleakala to the town of Haiku. Haleakala has limited sunrise reservations that sell out in seconds so this is a great way to get to view it if you're not tight on a budget. Downside is that you need to check-in at ~3am so that the staff has time to prep you (gear fitting, restroom stop, bike safety talk) as well as to drive you from their check-in location in Haiku to the top of Haleakala. The early check-in time is not bad at all if you're jet-lagged from NYC; therefore it's best to book this as early in your trip as possible (we did ours on the first full day of our trip). Highly recommend stopping by Kula Lodge on your way down for outdoor seating - they have a beautiful seating setup with a garden bordering the tables. The bikes are extremely safe and any beginner biker could easily do this 23 mile bike ride (in my opinion!). At the time that I booked this activity, they had free cancellation up to 48 hours prior to the activity date; definitely keep an eye on the weather in the days before your cancellation deadline to make sure you won't be biking in the rain! For those worried about getting carsick: I am extremely prone to getting carsick but our guide Chris was an INCREDIBLE driver, and it was never an issue. read more

An amazing experience. Yes, you will wake up early but it's worth it! Definitely have layers as it's freezing at the top even with no wind. You can leave your layers in the van & pick it up when you check out. Loved stoping in town on the way down for brunch, coffee and some amazing convos with locals. Take the first half slow & take pictures! Even though you're in the road, you feel safe. Everyone looks for bikers. It's so friendly. The tour guide/driver Javier was awesome too! Would highly recommend. read more

We took the tour with the bus trip to the top of Haleakala. I'm embarrassed as I can't remember the guides name, but he was from Argentina. We arrived at their location a few minutes before 3:00 am and selected our rain gear (in case we needed it), backpack (provided) and helmet for the bike ride down. We arrived at the top of the mountain by 5:30 am-ish and had time to get acclimated to the darkness. The sky was magnificent! So many stars and a clear moon! We had amazing weather to watch the sunrise! Dress warm! On our way to meet the bike guide, he stopped to take our photos and laid down on the ground to take these amazing shots! We rode bikes down the mountain but you start around 6500 elevation - not at the top of the mountain. It was a safe wonderful, guided tour and Russell was extremely helpful and safety was his number 1 priority. We were all in our 60's and made it down with no mishaps! We stopped for photos, for which he had great pose suggestions, as well as breakfast. Highly recommend this tour! Definitely 5 stars! read more

Mark H. surprised me with a mountain-biking excursion down a volcano - how cool is this?! We took the trip up in the bus with Kimo, who entertained us with fun stories from his childhood as we meandered our way up the windy road. Although the crater ended up being completely socked in with fog, we still enjoyed seeing the top before jumping on bikes and heading downhill. We selected the self-guided version where Kimo told us some directions (left-right-left? or something? no, that's not right...) and we took off riding. If you're the type that likes to stop on road trips and explore parks or grab a cup of coffee, I'd highly recommend the self-guided version since you can take your time and eat some poke in the small city or (and) grab some goat cheese and crackers at the marketplace you pass on the way down. We were the first ones to take off (the group left after us) and the last to arrive, and we definitely weren't the slowest bikers. This trip was the perfect amount of adventure, exploring and exercise. I'm not an adrenaline junky, but I had an absolute blast. read more
