Maui Day Bike Tour: Another of our popular rides that often sells out quickly due to high demand. If the Maui Sunrise Bike Tour is a little too early for you, this ride may be more your speed.
Guests will need to meet at our office/base-yard (located at 497 Baldwin Ave., Paia, HI) at 7:30a.m., where we will start them off with a beverage and light snack. The Haleakala Day bike tour begins at the 6,500 ft elevation of Haleakala where guides will provide guests with the history of the world's largest dormant volcano, its geology, and the rare plants and animals that are native to the Hawaiian Islands and can only be found on the island of Maui. Before the tour kicks off, guests will be fitted with a bicycle and helmet, the Mountain Riders bike tour then begins with an initial bike ride along the switchbacks of Haleakala, through Haleakala Ranch. Guests will then be driven back up the mountain to 6,500 feet to enjoy the beautiful switchbacks and scenic ranch views once again, continuing with a driving tour through the upcountry town of Kula, then a quick stop in the paniolo town of Makawao. To round out the tour guests will hop back on their bikes to coast through the sugar cane fields where our tour will conclude at the coastal town of Paia! Check-in is at 7:30 a.m. Return to our base-yard will be around 12:00 - 12:30pm (times vary with season).

WHAT TO WEAR
You can wear anything that will make you feel comfortable. However, closed-toed shoes and helmets are the only mandatory attire. Gloves, windbreakers, and windproof pants are highly recommended. Keep in mind that the temperatures in the early morning can be quite brisk and, when combined with the downhill speeds, you may find it chilly.
Jackets, sweatshirts, jeans, leggings, long-sleeved shirts, and the like are all safe options. Dressing in layers is always a good idea.
Check the weather before your tour and dress accordingly.
