Guided or Unguided Bike Tour

Whether you are looking for a more directed experience or something a bit more freeform, you will find what you are looking for here. With the guided option, you can learn all about the local area, its culture, and its iconic sights. Get some advice for your ride, ask questions about things you are curious about, or just enjoy getting to ride through the area with company. A guided experience has a lot to offer.

The unguided experience is just what it sounds like. Take charge of your bike riding expedition and set out to see the sights you want to on your time and in the way you want. You lose access to the experienced hand of a guide, but you gain the freedom to see the island your way.

Maui Pineapple Tour Makawao Town Stores Maui

Makawao

A favorite stop for vacationers on Maui is the quaint town of Makawao. Those riding down the mountain often like visiting this Paniolo (Cowboy) town for lunch, shopping, home made bakery items, or just some coffee. Enjoy exploring this historic town and take a break from the saddle with a relaxing stroll around this town. You may even see a Cowboy riding by or a horse hitched at the Makawao General Store! Great dining, boutiques, and more make this a wonderful stop on our sightseeing tour portion.

Haiku Or Paia Tour Endings

This tour can end up in one of two places. The first is at our base camp in Haiku, a lush sugar mill town. Great shops and food await you here, even if you stopped in Makawao for a treat, you'll want more here! Fill up on a Hawai’ian-style “plate lunch” at Kings BBQ, or try one of the many styles of Ahi Poke at Haiku Market. Sample a variety of locally made Kombucha at Maui Kombucha, which is rumored to give you a bit of a buzz. For vegetarians, there is Veg Out, a must-try vegetarian restaurant.

The other ending option is in Paia with it's surf shops and fun food options like flatbread, crepes, gelatos, and shave ice.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does This Tour Go Into Haleakala National Park?

No, this tour does not enter the park. If you would like to explore the summit area of Haleakala National Park in combination with a downhill bike ride, you can choose either a sunrise bike version or a summit day time tour.
What Does An Un-Guided Bike Tour Mean?

An un-guided bike tour means that you are free to explore on your own, the route down the mountain but only through the ranch land area of Upcountry Maui. On a self-guided ride you can stop and spend as much time as you want in this area. As long as you are back to meet the van back to your hotel or for the next portion of your sightseeing tour at the appointed time.
How Long Will It Take To Bike Down Haleakala?

If you're with a tour group you will start outside the park at the 6,500 ft level. From here we ride through the ranch lands in Upcountry Maui. The other portions are a guided sightseeing tour in our comfortable vans. Most Haleakala bike tours take about 6 to 8 hours from start to finish. If you add in the sunrise at Haleakala (around 2 am pick up) you could be looking at an 8 to 10 hour day!
What Does The “Drive Yourself” Option Mean?

Do we drive to the base to your tour headquarters, or to the top of the mountain? You would drive yourself to the base yard office in one of the towns at the bottom of the mountain. If you pick transportation, then you would be picked up at your hotel and driven to the same office location as if you drove yourself.

What Happens When It Rains?

The mountain is unpredictable for the weather. Wait 15 minutes and it will probably change. We take into account safety and conditions so we will cancel and reschedule the tour if there are any issues. We provide rain gear so you will be well protected if it happens to rain at some point during your tour.
