About OUR Haleakala  Downhill

NEW UPCOUNTRY Bike Tour

(Every Wednesday)

The staging area for our Haleakala Upcountry bike tour is at 6,500 ft – where all bike tour operators on Maui begin their rides. Riders will enjoy a self-guided bike ride through this scenic 6.5-mile section of the Haleakala Downhill Ride – always the most popular section of the ride with our guests. Guests often say they would like to do this section again…so that is exactly what we now do! This self-paced Maui Bike Ride allows you to do this popular upper switchback section 2 times! 

We supply you with your helmet, rain/wind jacket & pants, gloves, backpack, bike lock & map.  After a safety briefing, you will enjoy a narrated van tour as you’re driven up Haleakala to 6,500 feet. Your guide will point out the local history, points of interest, and suggestions for places to visit.

After biking down this upper section twice, we shuttle our guests to Makawao town (a ~20-minute drive). Guests have time to get out and – on foot – explore, eat, and shop. Once our time is finished in Makawao we will shuttle all guests to downtown Paia.

***We provide roadside assistance for all of our Maui bike tours.
