Haleakala Bike Company – Sunrise, Mid-Day, or Express Bike Tour

Fantastic experience overall! Shuttled to the top of Haleakala to experience the most breathtaking sunrise over an ocean of clouds, followed by an exhilarating downhill bike ride lasting roughly three hours. Can’t recommend this highly enough.

As an avid cyclist this was by far one of the highlights during our visit. The ride up with “Kimo” was super fun and very educational. The bikes are top notch. The views cannot be described in words. We had a great day doing this and the zip line package.

NOTE- we booked this tour with "Bike Maui" which seems to be the same as this company. This was an amazing experience! I was a little nervous about such an early start and the price but it was well worth it. Our party of 4 was picked up at our condo in Ma'alaea at 2:15 am and taken to their facility where we were fitted for helmets and additional gear. The fact that they provide fleece vests, gloves, and rain jackets and pants is incredibly helpful. I thought I was overdressed but it is COLD at the summit so I definitely needed the additional layers they provided- I wore jeans, a long sleeve workout top, tank top, a long sleeve fleece and a knit cap and still added their additional gear on top of that and was still cold at the op. We did the guided tour which was nice because our guide was entertaining really interesting historical background at several stops along the bike ride down. They also have a van following you on the way down so you can remove layers or if for some reason you need to stop you can jump on the van. I removed some layers at the first stop and then close to the bottom it was so ware I was just in my tank top. The 22 mile ride down is very easy, it is almost all downhill so it isn't strenuous. The views are gorgeous at the top and on the ride down are amazing. Definitely bring snacks as none are provided. We ended in Paia and had a chance to grab breakfast on our own and then they dropped us back off at our condo. I loved that they took care of all the details because when you are getting up that early it is early to forget something. It really was worth the price and getting up so early!

Great biking - exhilarating and fun. Guide was sweet but his stories on the way up the mountain took valuable time and he was hard to hear and understand (the accent and he spoke so fast). I would have appreciated more info about biking, being aware of area, site seeing. We met at the store at 9, but didn’t get on the bikes til 12:30. We wanted to make stops but didn’t have enough time to do much. I recommend this but just hope for an efficient guide.

Drivers and tour guide were great. 4 stars because they called us the afternoon and dais they wouldn't be picking us up as advertised because there weren't enough people to make it worthwhile. If they had told us further in advance that would have been ok but the afternoon before a 3am pick up is unacceptably late.
