ハレアカラサンライズベストセルフガイドバイクツアー

Depending on where you’re staying, you’ll need to get up at *at least* 2:00. We were staying in Ka’anapali (about an hour away), so we were up at 1:00. I can say, unequivocally, that it was 100% worth it. Our guide was super knowledgeable (both on the terrain we were going to cover and Hawaiian culture), and good-natured and fun. We visited Maui just a couple of weeks after Hurricane Lowell hit the island so they’d had lots of rain. But we lucked out and the skies were clear as a bell (I cannot remember the last time I saw so many stars!) We reached the summit and headed to the lookout. Even though it was still summer (mid-September) it was COLD. I had on two shirts + a sweatshirt, long underwear, sweatpants, and had a wind suit on over it all, and I was still freezing. So bundle up! The sunrise began just after 5:00 and was full at 6:13. Words cannot describe the spectacular beauty. Just awesome in the true sense of the word. And just as we were getting ready to head out for the bike ride, my partner proposed (I enthusiastically said yes). The whole experience was perfect. You may not get engaged up there (or you might… you never know) but you will have one of the most memorable experiences of your life.

we had to get up crazy early for this one, but it was totally worth it. My favourite part after seeing the sun rise, was the bike ride back down. Comfortable bikes and friendly staff.

A huge experience, although the driver was driving more than recklessly (life-threatening)

Amazing experience! Can’t recommend it enough. Dan was a fabulous guide informing us of the history with some jokes along the way. Once in a lifetime experience for our honeymoon.

Enjoy the adventure, guide was helpful and really provide great information on the area

Great views of the sunrise. Exhilarating ride down from the summit.

This was a memorable experience. Thanks to our tour guide John for a special and safe day. We had to be in the office by 3am, which was the toughest part but we'll worth it. Dress with extra layers since above the clouds ifelt like 20 degrees 🥶 and they provide you with gear. The shuttle brought a crew of us 10,000 ft up the volcano. We waited for the breathtaking sunrise. After, shuttle brought us down about 6700 ft and from there prepped us with the mountain bikes and our safety. The ride down the curvy hills were a lot of fun with an adrenaline. We stopped for breakfast at the local down town too. Even the forest rain on us felt great. Loved our experience ❤️ Mahalo!

The team provided a fun experience for our family. The sunrise is absolutely stunning, Thnk you to the staff!

The self-guided (read: no guided) tour was so fun. John (our driver from pickup to the summit) was a riot, but also very knowledgeable about the land and its history. The bikes were solid and the views were breathtakingly beautiful. My 17yr old and I enjoyed the bonding experience. Would highly recommend. We drove ourselves to and from the main location, and were glad not to pay extra to get picked up/dropped off.

Overall experience was really good. Check-in at the bike area was a little chaotic but went okay except they ran out of backpacks. We did not bring one as that was something they listed that was provided. They were not offering to find another option for our family then at the last minute our driver, Dan found 2 we could use. It was a very helpful as we would have had no way to carry the layers of clothes you shed as you go down the mountain. The ride up was of course early and our driver gave us a lot of information about the history of Haleakalā amd Maui in general. All interesting information from what I can remember, most of us weren’t quite awake. You don’t get much time at the summit once the sun was up, 10 minutes and he wanted us back in the bus. The biking down the mountain was fun. Bikes functioned fine. The only bummer was, they had to pick you up halfway down and bus you through a town that doesn’t allow you to ride through it anymore and then let you back out to finish your ride. We missed out on some neat area to ride. It is unfortunate that town has made that law because it really does take away from your bike ride.
