Great trip and a super memory maker. Guides were attentive and helpful. Hated to get up at1:45 am but that's the price you must pay to see the sunrise. Well worth it. Thanks

Overall, the bike ride was nice because of its scenic views and the sunset to start off the day. Unfortunately the bikes that were provided were very run down. My husband's bike did not have a functioning rear break, and that can be dangerous on a downhill ride. The driver on the tour grew up on Maui, so he was a wealth of knowledge and it was great talking to him. He gave us great tips on where to eat during the rest of our stay.

This was truly worth getting up at 2 am to do on holidays. The surise was beautiful and the ride down as totally exhilarating! I do wish that we could have stopped a couple more times for pictures but understandably the road is narrow and dangerous. Would recommend this to anyone and anyone can do it!

Crew was very nice, told nice stories and good time. But the bikes were old and not sturdy. If new bikes were provided this would be a 5 star rating.

Great experience for a first time visiter to Maui. We were lucky as the weather was beautiful-great sunrise and views of the island on the ride down. Friendly, funny local guides.

The ride downhill was stunning. Pickup 2 AM and delivery 1:30 PM back to Kaanapali was provided. "Brunch" break was at own expense, though the company did provide rolls and coffee prior to the ride to the top of Haleakala for the sunrise. Company furnished a van during the trip to act as a defense for traffic and for anyone that could not complete, which never happened.

A great trip. The guides were great. Well worth the cost. It's a trip that everyone should do one time. Thoroughly enjoyed it.

My pals I was traveling with said I was crazy but I woke up at 1.30am. Arriving at 4.30am and putting on a rubber suit was admittedly a bit strange but I loved every minute of it. About 300 onlookers watched the sun rise over the 3rd largest volcanic mountain in the world. The 38 mile bike down the 10,000 foot volcano was exhilarating. Nothing dangerous but going 35 MPH on a mountain bike around hairpin curves was swell. Stared at the silverswords. Saw rainbows, birds, and cattle. Smelled the eucalyptus and lavender farms. At the bottom we had breakfast at a famous spot in Makawao (yum yum) and then biked through Paia, according to our guide the 'haight-ashbury' of Maui. The trip ended with hugs and a Mahalo of course.

_strong_Note from Viator:_/strong_ Traveler tip: Keep cameras warm and close to because batteries tend to drain quickly. Supposedly it has something to do with the mineral composition of the volcano and its crater.

The sunrise was gorgeous! It's cold up there in the morning though so wear layers. The first half is a little scary being up so high and going so fast, but it's totally worth it!
