Safe, Scenic, and So Much Fun!
Our Hawaiian downhill bike tour was a highlight of our trip! Joe was an outstanding guide—kind, safety-conscious, and happy to let our group set a comfortable pace. The ride was beautiful, fun, and unforgettable. Highly recommend!

Gotta do the Volcano Bike Ride
The guides are all about providing a great trip down the volcano safely. Be prepared to go fast! Some in our group did not realize how fast 20-25 mph is on a bike and chose to sit out the second ride because of that. It is nice to have the whole lane to ride in versus just the bike lane. The scenery is gorgeous and the third trip through the town and fields was so much fun. Major kudos to our guides for leading such a big group down safely!

Not what we expected
We were taken just below the summit. Unloaded our bikes, the bikes seemed older and needed maintenance. My brakes squeak the whole time I use them. We did maybe a 20 minute ride down. They loaded our bikes back up and we did the same route again which was not what we unexpected. Them they drove us to a town where we were on our own for 45 minutes. We got on our bikes and individually, went down the rest of the way to Paia. They did discuss some things in the van ride to the summit, but they weren’t mic’d so if you were in the back, you couldn’t hear anything. We did not go through two towns, it was not one continuous 26 mile ride, there wasn’t a history lesson.
Response from the operator: Aloha, Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We're very sorry to hear that the tour did not meet your expectations and that the information you were given prior to booking was inaccurate. Unfortunately, it appears there was a miscommunication from the third-party vendor that you made your reservation with regarding the structure and details of the tour. We are currently following up with them to ensure they are providing accurate information to future guests. Our website has the current up to date information for the tours we offer. The Sunrise Tour is our tour that we have that goes to the summit of Haleakala National Park. You booked your tour through a third party vendor for the Maui Day Tour. Your feedback is taken seriously and has been passed it on to our operations team for review and maintenance. We also appreciate your note about the guide's narration not being audible in the van — we’ll look into ways to improve that part of the experience as well. Thank you again for your feedback — it helps us improve and provide a better experience for all our guests. Mahalo

Great morning of fun!!
Great experience as a solo traveler! Easy to book and clear details in write up and itinerary! Easy to find, chose this over the crazy early sunrise one and SO glad - watched the sunrise on the beach with coffee then headed to the 7:30am meet up! Easy waiver and cold bottled water and granola bars waiting and warm welcome! Love the small group, personal feel. Drive up was beautiful and full of fun history, stories and scenery (45 min), then the ride!! Outstanding option to go unguided (if you want to fast or carefree) or guided - I chose guided first run down and unguided second time! Both super fun and safe and thrilling! Then about 30 min outing in little town just enough to get a coffee and bathroom break, then the final ride down to starting point! Great for anyone!

The Volcano was so...
The Volcano was so beautiful and the guide did a great job of checking experience levels to make sure everyone had a fun and safe trip. We went up the volcano twice, stopped at a cute town for lunch/brunch the biked an easier road afterwards. This experience was completely unforgettable!
Response from the operator: Aloha, Thank you for sharing your experience with us. We are happy to hear you enjoyed your ride and felt safe. Mahalo

Why this scores 70
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Maui Haleakala Day Bike Tour with Mountain Riders from 6500 to sea level: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Maui.
How much does Maui Haleakala Day Bike Tour with Mountain Riders from 6500 to sea level cost?
+
Prices start at $145 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Maui usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Maui Haleakala Day Bike Tour with Mountain Riders from 6500 to sea level take?
+
Plan for about 4 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Maui is not rushed.
Is Maui Haleakala Day Bike Tour with Mountain Riders from 6500 to sea level worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 70 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.6/5 across 95 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Maui, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Maui Haleakala Day Bike Tour with Mountain Riders from 6500 to sea level?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Maui Haleakala Day Bike Tour with Mountain Riders from 6500 to sea level suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Maui Haleakala Day Bike Tour with Mountain Riders from 6500 to sea level?
+
Around 33 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Maui can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Maui and add a light layer if any part of the 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Maui Haleakala Day Bike Tour with Mountain Riders from 6500 to sea level start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Maui within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Maui?
+
Maui's three signature days are the Hana road, the Haleakala summit sunrise and the Molokini snorkel sail, and all three are logistics problems as much as experiences. Sunrise summit entry is permit-controlled, Hana is a ten-hour driving day, and Molokini boats vary wildly in size. Our ranking rewards operators who handle permits and keep boat capacity low. On Outty we rank every Maui experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Molokini Crater + South Maui Coast Adventure from Kihei, Maui, Maui: VIP Private Road to Hana Tour with Pick Up, Road to Hana Adventure Maui Tour with Lunch. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Maui?
+
April to May and September to October. Whale season runs December to April. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Maui?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
