The next section of downhill begins with entering into a small town that carries on the traditions of the paniolo (Hawaiian cowboy) life. In the heart of Paniolo Country sits the historic town of Makawao. This quaint town located on the slopes of Haleakala is rich in paniolo heritage with rustic charm as well as being a flourishing arts community.

As Safe As You Make It.

I could not believe how amazingly knowledgeable Matthias was with our group and the facts about Hawaii and the islands in general. It enhance the experiencebecause a lot of the time you’re in a van going to the top of the mountain. Also, the bikes are top-notch and the brakes are so effective and they work really well. If you’re nervous about this trip, you might think twice about going because you may just be riding your brakes all the way down the mountain and that might not be fun for you. But either way, choose to do this because the views are absolutely incredible as you can see from my pictures. These guys are so focused on safety that it really is operator error if you have any problems with your downhill trip. The whole thing for me took about an hour, but I stopped for a tequila tasting so that it was around two hours and 15 minutes before I reached the very end of the ride. That also works out too because the lunch after the ride was fantastic. Paia!

Great downhill ride for our family of 6

Our family of 6 did the downhill ride in its Matisse. We had an amazing time. Lots of history and stories on the way up which we thoroughly enjoyed. Then Matisse made sure we were all outfitted and comfortable for our downhill trip. We absolutely loved the views and the ride. Lunch stop in Makawao was super fun/ we had a great lunch at Freshies and we able to do a little shopping. Thanks for an amazing day.

Definitely a must do!

From the start, we were impressed. Lizzy picked us up outside the port and brought us to the shop where we had time to use the restroom. Kanji equipped us with helmet, gloves, and the correct size bike. The bikes are excellent and perfect for this 14 mile downhill ride where you are using your brakes almost the entire time! The fee was reasonable for the experience. The atmosphere was gorgeous and Kanji provided us with a great amount of relevant present day info and historical information about the island before dropping us off to start the ride. He also gave a thorough safety briefing. The crowd size was perfect and right before we started, he had us introduce ourselves which was actually nice. The length of the tour was the perfect amount of time. I would definitely recommend this tour and would absolutely do it again. I want to add in that every employee was very professional and kind, not just Lizzy and Kanji. This is a great company.

I was really nervous to do this, but decided to go with my husband anyway. It was a lot of fun even though I’m not a great bicyclist. It was tense at times, but certainly worth the effort. I felt like this company was concerned for our safety and were very attentive.

Wonderful!

It was a great experience! I was worried about the downhill bike ride speed, but I was able to go at a speed that was comfortable for me. The guide was amazing and made the trip up enjoyable. Would definitely recommend.

Amazing experience-easier than you’d think (not Easy-easier)

It looks a lot more scary going up than it really is coming down! I thought about backing it more than once in the way up because of the inclines and sharp turns. I was pleasantly surprised that I didn’t have to be a Tour de France cyclist to handle it coming down!
