The tour was great, and the staff was nice. You might want to consider bringing a light jacket, it can get a little chilly on the mountain.

Keep in mind you have to arrive at 3 AM. You should get a text, I did not get one. When you get up to 10,000 feet it is extremely cold. We had extreme wind and rain on March 9th. The pre- sunrise was stunning but then the clouds rolled in so we didn’t get to see the sunrise at all. They pay another company to take you to the top and they were great guys, except they DO NOT KNOW HOW TO TURN ON THE F’ING HEAT in this very luxurious bus. So, we FROZE the entire time. We had on long sleeve layers, pants and brought blankets too. Wear full winter gear!!! Once we finally got into the Maui Rider passenger van we turned on the heat ourselves and warmed up a bit. The first ride down was very cold. If you have gloves and hat you’ll be better off. They had a few jackets to loan out, but most did not get one. The second two rides were more enjoyable bc it warms up around 9 AM. The stop for breakfast is not included so plan on $25-$30 PP for that meal. The last 6-mile leg is nice. Warm and lots to see. One and done for us, we won’t do it again.

Aloha Jill,, Yes it can be cold at 10,000 feet that's why we recommend dressing in layers and bringing warm clothes. Anyone headed up for sunrise on Haleakala should know it can be COLD!!! The professional drivers do know how to turn the heat on in the vehicles they drive everyday however there is a regulation in Haleakala National Park that vehicles cannot not be running while at the top of the mountain due to environmental reasons. As you discussed with Nani on the day of the tour you were shown the text message that was sent from her to you the day before. Guests can choose a variety of places to get food in Makawao that range in price but where you chose to eat is on the pricier side because its a local farm to table restaurant. We appreciate your feedback. Mahalo Maui Mountain Riders

I was a little nervous before going on this but Nani and Joe made us feel so comfortable. They definitely know their stuff and care about everyone's safety. Exactly how you would want your tour guides to be. They checked in on everyone to make sure we all had a great time. I will definitely be recommending them to everyone I know that makes it out to Maui.
