Haleakala Bike Tours
Your adventure begins at Maui Sunriders’ Paʻia shop, where you’ll check in, receive your bike and safety briefing, and get fitted with the gear you need. You’ll then travel by narrated van through Maui’s scenic Upcountry to the 6,500-foot staging area just outside Haleakalā National Park.
From there, enjoy a self-guided downhill ride through Haleakalā’s famous switchbacks and Upcountry ranchlands. A short van shuttle through Kula bypasses a portion of the highway before you continue toward historic Makawao, where you’ll have time to explore local shops, grab coffee or lunch, and take in the town at your own pace. You’ll then continue your downhill ride toward Paʻia, where the adventure concludes.
