Best Tour of Maui! - We had an amazing experience on this tour! We thought we would just see a sunrise and ride a bike back down but we learned so much about Hawaii and its history, culture, landscape and food. Russell was an awesome tour guide - very informative and humorous. I could not recommend this tour more. Definitely a highlight of our trip.

Awesome bike ride! - This was one of the highlights of our trip!
The guides were awesome! They explained in great detail how to safely ride.
I was very nervous at first but as soon as I started riding I understood everything they were telling us.
If I ever go back this will at the top of my list!

Amazing Adventure - Don't let the Early Morning Wake Up Stop You! - Our sunrise at Haleakala and guided bike tour was AMAZING! I was nervous about the bike ride but Russell, our guide, was so good - he knew just what to do to make sure I felt safe and comfortable. The guides knew just the right views to stop for, they were funny and fun, we got amazing photos and had an unforgettable adventure. Bring warm clothes for sunrise, but you will shed layers as you ride down. This is the company to go with!

Haleakala sunrise bike tour - Watching the sunrise over the volcano was spectacular! Riding bikes down the switchbacks on the mountain was exciting and well conducted. The guides gave great lessons and were very safety conscious.

This is the Haleakalā tour you want. - Phil and his team are amazing. Dan picked us up promptly at 2:45 am at our condo. He knew exactly how softly to speak and give tours along the way - while some of us chose to sleep. The sunrise was one for the books. And hearing the Haleakalā sunrise chant threw the experience over the top (Google it). Russel, our bike guide, was exactly what you want- experienced adventure seeker, naturalist, historian and stand up comedian (all in one). The bikes and gear were top notch. The restaurant at the end of the tour was excellent. Definitely pack/wear your warmest clothing for sunrise and shed layers as needed on the way down. Some people brought blankets (we wish we had). The sag wagon/tour bus will be right behind you while biking and easy to access as needed.

Guided Experience with Wife, First Timers - The views here are impeccable. Such a great experience and change of scenery after hanging on the beach for some days. If you plan to do this, make sure to pack warm clothes. The gear they give you helps a ton but will definitely want a hat and jacket on. The only thing I would have done differently was done the self-guided tour on the way down. You can go your own speed and still see all the amazing views. If history is more your thing and you like to ride smooth, the guided tour is an amazing option. Drew and Eddie-Buddy were hilarious and great guides. Made the van ride up the volcano a great time. This is a must do!

Meh - There was no sunrise, too cloudy. That was out of anyone’s control. The tour guides were awesome. Not sure it was worth the sleep deprivation, cold bus ride, freezing temperatures, lack of food opportunities, or being trapped on a bus with the most annoying person I’ve ever met in my life (another visitor). But when else can you ride a bike down a volcano just to say you did? Their website needs to be updated, there was not one opportunity to purchase food like the website suggests and gloves were not provided.

Meh - The drive up was really fun. Our driver buddy was super funny. The walk-through with the Bicycles was good and easy in the morning Bright & earlierearlier at 3:30 AM.
Ben, we had a bit of a disappointment because I do not realize and nobody had told me that the ride does no longer continue through the town so instead of having a long ride we had to break it up get in the van and then restart it again. It was not what I had anticipated , we did not ride for longer than I would say 25 minutes the rest was spent doing photo opportunities and safety talks
Anyway lesson learned
