Unforgettable Self-Guided & Self-Paced Downhill Bike Tour in Maui - We had an amazing experience on our self-guided downhill bike tour! It felt like a private trip since there were no other people on our tour. Our guide, John, was not only humorous but incredibly knowledgeable about Hawaiian history and the area. We loved the freedom to travel at our own pace, unlike other faster-paced groups. The tour was reasonably priced and definitely a must-do activity in Maui! Although the downside was the closed shops in Makawao on New Year's Day, it's the perfect excuse to do it all over again and try those famous donuts next time!

Coasting Haleakala - Great activity. Beautiful scenery and a fun experience. Guide was a lifelong resident of Maui…tons of local knowledge. Coasting and braking 99% of the trip, only pedaled a couple of times for a very short distance. Sadly, this company is not allowed to access the top of the crater-thank you state of HI.

History & Fun! - Our driver was fantastic sharing the history of Maui and background that you wouldn’t get in a standard bike tour!

Great way to start your day! - Loved talking to Caleb and Cheryl on the way up on the van😊. The views were breathtaking. Had a history lesson on the area before we took off on our ride about the area. Great fun! Thanks again to Dan and his family. 🍻

Beautiful view / knowledgeable guide - Very Beautiful, knowledgable guide. Do not book it on a Wednesday during the school year. Kids get out early on Wednesday and you do not get to complete the ride when school is in session you only get to do half the tour. Our tour lasted from 8:15-10:00.

Cancelled at Last Minute - Canceled our booking at 1:45AM. Too late to rebook with one of their competitors. No reason given. Should be zero stars.

Completely waste of time - Terrible experience. My reservation was not there at the operator and when I arrived at the location, there was no body. I called several time and come back to the hotel. Called Viator for refund.

Never had a chance to get on a bike. - My review isn't about the tour itself, it's about the lack of timely customer service. We were booked for a downhill ride on June 12. Oddly enough days before our trip we were contacted to see if we would be willing to switch dates and we couldn't. Well on the morning of the 12th we were on our way from Kapalua when we received a call stating that their van was vandalized and wasn't operable. Fine, I get it, things happen. Asked Cheryl to go ahead and process a credit card refund since we couldn't reschedule the trip. After 1 week, nothing. Called again, spoke to her again and she remembered the situation and said it would be done. Waited 1 week, nothing. Instead of trying a 3rd call, I just went ahead and disputed it with my credit card.
I'm sorry it happened to their business and my minor inconvenience doesn't compare to the physical/financial damage to their business.

HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE - What a NIGHTMARE…Arrived at baseyard to an old cement building, went inside, place smelled like dog, awful odor.
Bikes are very old and rusty, van is old and dirty NO AC, dog hair all over, looks like someone lives in the van.
Van making big noises thought we weren’t going to make it.
This company is a RIPOFF, we only rode for a total of 12 miles, we only did the upper portion 1 time which I witnessed all the other companies doing it twice, which I mentioned it to the driver who then changed the subject. Very Arrogant and Rude.
Do your homework don’t use this company BE AWARE…
