Cruiser Phil's / Bike Maui / Haleakalā Ecotours has been guiding bike riders down this landmark…read morevolcano 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!

Our driver, Eddie, was fantastic. He was entertaining and informative. The bikes were in…read moreexcellent 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.

This was a very cool trip!! We really didn't know what to expect as we had done our research as to…read morewhich company seemed to be the "right" one for us to descend from Haleakala. Maui Easy Riders was a SUPERB choice!! Booking with the owner Billy was great as he prepared me for our adventure over the phone. The morning of the excursion, we met our guides, Charlotte and Jon, who proved to be an absolute hoot! They alieved any anxiety and brought some great history lessons as we trekked up the mountain. My wife and I were celebrating our 38th wedding anniversary and the last time we were in Hawaii was for our honeymoon, 38 years prior. Charlotte and Jon made us feel special. Unlike many other companies, Maui Easy Riders only allows 6 people per session, so it was easy to get to know your fellow travelers and we became close friends in a very short time. They have a specially built cruiser bike that has a huge, extremely comfortable seat and and massive disc brakes for both wide tires. The ride is exceptional and you feel very much in control. There is no "push" for you to speed down the mountain, and until everyone was comfortable with their "sled", the downhill journey was held at your own pace. The van follows you down the mountain and runs interference for cars that might be coming up to pressure you. No worries or anxiety here. If you need anything at all, they came prepared to assist you: Rain gear, pants, windbreakers, snacks, water and Gatorade. At any time, you could have access to the stuff you might of brought in the van. We made several stops to take pictures and view the landscape and learn of areas to be aware of as they might be coming up. Charlotte was a great leader, guiding us with hand motions and instructions for our safety. She and Jon communicated with walkie-talkies to navigate the traffic and the care of the riders. We all shared some great stories as we learned all about the route and history of Maui. I can't recommend Maui Easy Riders enough. Their care and concern for your safety and adventurous spirit made our trip extremely enjoyable. The 6 of us riders enjoyed the journey so much, we all had lunch together, laughing and sharing more antics from the excursion. Don't pass up YOUR experience!! Thank you Charlotte and Jon for a WONDERFUL experience !!

Going downhill on Haleakala with Maui Easy Riders is of the most exhilarating and memorable…read moreactivities to do in the area. Everyone in the tour parked their car in the town of Paia and were picked up by Billy and another individual (forgot his name) in the Maui Easy Rider van. Once we arrived at Haleakala, it was a bit chilly and misty (morning tour), so bring a jacket. You can store you personal items in the van, so don't worry about carrying a lot things. Billy took the time to ensure the helmet and bikes were a good match for our head size and body height. After going over the safety rules, Billy led the group with his own bike while the helper drove the van in the back blocking passing cars to create a safe ride for us. The ride itself was amazing. It was about a 25 mile bike ride ( ~2 hours), but it was really casual and smooth. It was mostly downhill so majority of the time was spent being in awe with the surrounding environment. We passed by ranches, farms, towns, and residential areas. You go at your own pace, so there's no pressure to go with the group. If you're desiring a fast and challenging ride, then you move up in the line. And if you're casual and want to take it slow, you can stay in the back. The van will always be in the back blocking cars, so you're safe. Just enjoy. We also made frequent breaks to rest and take photos. We took couple photos at scenic places and even took a photo with a chameleon. To summarize, this was one of the best way to experience this area of Maui. Highly, highly recommend Maui Easy Riders

Hiking here was one of the highlights of my trip to Maui this summer. It's not a hike with…read morespectacular views but it's a beautiful hike with forest cover and is not strenuous at all. I loved that it was dog friendly and provides plenty of shade on a hot summer day in Maui. It's cooler here as it's upcountry so good to get a jacket. I picked up some food from pukalani Superette, so it made for a perfect picnic! Read the signs carefully as there are some parts that are for bikers only and they come fast and can crash into you. Overall, I loved coming here and exploring upcountry in Maui. If you need sometime away from the sun, come here, you will be in awe of nature and it's a nice contrast to the beaches in wailea (at least to me!).

A fun excursion when in Maui!…read more We arrived at 4:30am at the pick up location and then drove up on the mountain to watch the sunrise (it was super cold, definitely bring some warm clothes!) We did 2, 6 mile bike rides from Mille marker 9 down to 3. Then went to the little town at the bottom for breakfast and finished with another 4 mile ride back to the original location. Our guide, Joe, was the highlight of the experience. He was so funny, but also made you feel very comfortable during the ride. The views were beautiful and was so fun to watch the sun come up! You don't have to be an expert bike rider to participate, but you do go pretty fast so defintely recommended to be comfortable on a bike. (Always the option to ride down in the van if you feel uncomfortable). The ride was a little scary for me personally, but fun to try something out of my comfort zone! Would recommend for those who would like an exhilarating experience!

Being said that, long drive up on curvy roads, watching clouds roll in, you will be awarded with beautiful landscape and views above the cloud. Slow down for Nenes. I saw mama and two chicks walking across, above the 1st visitor center. Slow down! Other then the sunrise time slot, you do not need a reservation. If you want to view the sunrise, try your luck at 7 pm few nights before. Also, if you habe missed it, you can sign up for an email notification for last minute cancelations. I was able to secure one but cancelled it later. Check the web site for camping and hiking. The merchandise at the gift shop was very reasonable. I loved the art work on their t shirts. Definitely recommend!

This is definitely one of the top five for me when it comes of things to plan when going to Maui. It was such a memorable thing to see and it really felt magical. We came just right before sunrise.

Add this to your list of things to do when going to Maui!

Shoutout to our guide who was super friendly and full of information; I believe his name was Matius. Also, being a late riser, I appreciated that our tour didn't start at the crack of dawn. The first section of the mountain you fly down; I managed to reach speeds of almost 35mph! The second section of the ride allows you to stop and shop. I enjoyed the self-paced aspect of this tour. Overall, if you're looking for something fun to do with lots of scenery along the way, Maui Sunriders is the way to go!

This correspondence serves as formal notice regarding the electric bicycle we purchased from your…read morecompany approximately six months ago, shortly before the Christmas holiday, for our son. Within the first three weeks of ownership, the bicycle became inoperable due to what we believe to be a manufacturing defect. We promptly returned the bicycle to your service department for warranty repair. At that time, we were informed that a replacement part had been ordered and would resolve the issue. We have since been advised that the part was ordered approximately five months ago. To date--six months after our initial purchase--the bicycle remains unrepaired and unusable. During this period, your company has failed to provide timely updates or proactive communication. We have been required to initiate all follow-up inquiries ourselves, and our repeated requests for resolution, including a refund, have not been adequately addressed. The prolonged delay in repair, lack of communication, and failure to provide a functional product constitute a substantial inconvenience and a failure to honor the warranty in a commercially reasonable timeframe. Our son has been deprived of the use of the bicycle for the vast majority of the time since purchase. Accordingly, we hereby formally demand a full refund of the purchase price. If this matter is not resolved promptly, we will consider pursuing all remedies available to us under applicable consumer protection and warranty laws. We trust that your company will act in good faith to resolve this matter without further delay.
