Awesome! Very personal and family friendly.
Really great way to see upcountry Maui. You could make a half or more day out of the trip, or be done in around 90 minutes.
We expected a nice, long scenic bike ride. What we got was a van ride with a fun guide and a few miles of coasting downhill on a mountain bike. Do not expect a workout or an adventurous ride. It's just a photo stop on mountain bikes with an optional coffee break in between two quick bike rides.
Very fun. Loved Kimo our guide. Had so much local knowledge. The town of Makawao was really fun and quaint. Recommend to anyone who is very comfy on a bike.
This is NOT meant to be a “gentle ” ride up the coast. We received everything we had hoped for and got more.
We had such a great time on the mountain. The views were spectacular, simply breathtaking. Our driver, Tim, was a wealth of knowledge and had a great sense of humor. He made the van trip up the volcano very entertaining! I would definitely recommend!
Great trip with great guides. Pickup and drop off from hotel was key. Equipment was top notch. Made the most of a rainy day.
Drivers can be crazy. Beware. I actually was involved in a collision with two cars. Because I was told how to apply brakes while depending, I was able to only receive minor injuries. I am blessed the tour encouraged us to watch the video they provide
The organizer canceled the trip via text but failed to cancel via the app. I noyified him but he told me it was up to Viator to refund the money. Thankfully, I was refunded by Viator after giving them the update. The ride was scheduled on 7/13 but the trail was closed on 7/11-15, according to the messeage.Therefore, the event should NOT have been scheduled.
Aloha, we apologize for the confusion. Unfortunately this is the pitfall of booking through third parties like Viator. You don't get the most up to date information and communication. Viator does have policy to not share contact information directly with providers, meaning we have to communicate through Viator itself. It's a cumbersome process and arrangement that we have little control over. That includes updates to availability. It's not real time because of this disconnect. Reaching out directly to the providers is always best. Regarding the closure, that was being handled day by day. The initial closure took place on the day of the fires, the 11th, and we only would receive updates the day before whether they would be closed or not. No timetable was ever given. Thank you.
Great guided tour. Dan was our driver/ guide and he was superb. He provided the right amount of information, and I enjoyed his "dad' jokes. The bike ride requires one to focus, as it is downhill and it is easy to quickly pick up speed, however, it is quite manageable. I would definitely do it again and again. I also enjoyed the initial visit to the top of the volcano.
