On your Haleakala bike tour you will get to see scenic Kula Community in our van shuttle. Located at about 3,200 feet on the western slopes of Haleakala this is a beautiful neighborhood.
2
Makawao
The next section of downhill begins with entering into a small town that carries on the traditions of the paniolo (Hawaiian cowboy) life. In the heart of Paniolo Country sits the historic town of Makawao. This quaint town located on the slopes of Haleakala is rich in paniolo heritage with rustic charm as well as being a flourishing arts community. Stop to have lunch or browse through one of the fascinating shops or galleries scattered throughout this charming town. With our self-paced Haleakala downhill bike ride, guests have more freedom to stop along the route to eat, shop, and sightsee than on a guided tour.

We've been to Maui four times, but this was our first bike ride. I will do it again, every visit from now on! The driver/guide, Remy, was knowledgeable and fun, and made sure we were prepared and safe. Plus, he made us laugh and took great photos. There were six of us, and we were were able to stick together, despite differing levels of bravery and comfort with the bikes. Bonus tip: let the athletic go first and put the nurturer at the rear! We took our time, giving way to the pipi (cows); stopping to gawk at horses, goats, chickens, beautiful flowers and vistas; having lunch at Kula Lodge and buying coconut peanut butter in their gift shop. Then another break admiring the galleries and elegant trinkets in Makawao. Just Do It!

This self-guided bike ride was my favorite adventure while on Maui. The price was a lot lower than the others that started all the way at the top, where the temperature would be a lot colder and the weather a lot more dicey. Would happily do this one again. Remy, our driver, was great!

Yeah! This is what we LOVE to hear! It is so many peoples favorite adventure on Maui and we sure are glad that you found Maui Sunriders! Did you know the companies that start at the top - drive you back down to where we started our bike ride and that they don't even bike down from the top! Our price is lower because we value a good affordable time and don't throw in a lot of unnecessary extras. We can't wait to see you next time, MAHALO AND ALOHA!!!

We had a group of 7. We had the best time! Remy, our driver was amazing! Full of knowledge and jokes. The ride down was exhilarating and beautiful. We made a stop at the lavender gardens which was beautiful. Absolutely a must do! Will visit again!
