Predawn-Morning Haleakala Bike Tour with Mountain Riders (6,500' to Sea-Level)

Overview

A more affordable option to our often sold out sunrise tour, the Pre-Dawn tour offers the same beautiful colors of the sunrise from the outside of Haleakala National Park. You will enjoy the same 26 mile (42 km) bicycle tour from the 6,500' all the way down to the ocean at Paia at a more affordable rate.

What To Expect

Makawao

Narrated tour through the quaint towns of Makawao and Kula proceeding up the slopes of Haleakala Ranch where you will watch the predawn colors before starting your bike ride.

Kula

The bike portion of the tour begins at the 6500 foot level of Haleakala. You will coast your bikes through the 29 sweeping switchback turns while viewing the beautiful island views.

Historic Makawao Town

Located on the mid-slopes of Maui’s Haleakala volcano, Makawao has one foot in its plantation past and another in its thriving arts community. This charming town was once named one of the top 25 arts destinations in the United States. Makawao is the biggest little town in the region locally known as Upcountry Maui and is famous for its Hawaiian cowboys, or paniolo. Since the late 19th century, horseback-riding paniolo have wrangled cattle in Maui’s wide-open upland fields. The Makawao Rodeo, held yearly on the Fourth of July, is Hawaii's largest paniolo competition and has been an Upcountry tradition for more than 50 years. The weekend events include a parade and traditional rodeo competitions such as barrel racing, calf roping and bareback bronco riding, all with a few Hawaiian twists. For a snack, follow the locals to get a famous cream puff from T. Komoda Store. Established in 1916 by Takezo Komoda, a Japanese plantation worker, this little store and bakery does big business.

Our tour guide Joe knew I was nervous so he put me up front with him and made me feel so great about being adventurous and facing my fear of heights. It was a wonderful adventure and I would recommend to anyone who loves to take in beautiful sights and challenge themselves to face their fears!! The stop in the town was also very nice and a good break after waking up so early to have some breakfast and explore the local area!!

Greatest experience in Maui so far. I'm so glad we went with Mountain Riders vs the bigger company. We ended up riding with just 4 people and our guide (who had 25 years of experience) and we had an empty road vs being out there with 20+ riders with the bigger company (we saw them setting up as we were taking off down the mountain). The bikes Mountain Riders use are heavier and have bigger tires and drum brakes, which means you go faster and feel safer going around turns. Both our guide and our driver were amazing and we learned a ton in the van, including which celebrities live in which houses up in the mountains and where to get the best donuts on a stick. We had a great stop for breakfast and coffee before a nice easy downhill coast back to the starting point. I don't regret skipping the sunrise tour at the top of the mountain and just going with the pre-dawn tour. We got to see all the colors in the sky but we stayed 10 degrees warmer and got 2 more hours of sleep. My one tip is to dress warmer than you think you need (and bring gloves!) because at least in late Nov it gets cold at 6500 feet!
