This is a must do. The company outfits you with windbreaker suits - take them! It can get as low as 40 degrees at the top. The suits saved us from freezing. The only way to get to the top for sunrise is through a reservation so you will have to pick a company to get to the top. We did this on Easter and it was unforgettable. The bike ride down was SUPER easy. It did not take all the prior preparation I tried to do. I was worried about riding a bike since I don't do that in my normal workout routine.

What an awesome experience. Our tour guides were great fun. Kudos to our group for being experienced cyclists and didn't have any mishaps or slowed down the group.

Awesome group and tour. Was given ample instructions. Only wished they had allowed us to stop sooner on our way down to adjust gear and get better photo of rainbow. Would recommend!

We enjoyed this ride very much. We highly recommend it. It is very exciting. Our tour guide was very informative and made it fun. We viewed from the top of the volcano. Got great photos._br/_ We felt it was very safe, they watch your back.

The ride was a lot of fun! The sunrise was great. But, the bikes look like they need a lot of work.

Amazing! Best part of our trip. We were so impressed by our guides. I felt very safe the entire time. What a beautiful way to see the island!

The downhill adventure is a "MUST DO" when in Maui.....but the group...well let's just say...is not the best to go with. This tour operator is getting a little long in the tooth.....van's are old....bike's are OK....and his idea of a continental breakfast in the AM is packaged crackers and cookie's from the local store. ANd where you meet him is in the weirdest place....down in the old rundown industrial section of Kahului. Downhill is wonderfull...you have to do it.....but pick another provider.

By far our favorite adventure we had while on Maui; talk about exhilarating! For those who are skeptical: you can do it! I don't ride often and did just fine as it was ALL coasting down hill. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a unique ground level perspective of the beautiful Maui terrain.

They took us to the top hoping to get a view the crater of Mt. Haleakala. It was a rainy day, but the clouds cleared just long enough for us to get a few snapshots and them rolled in again. It rained almost the entire time during the downhill bike ride, but the crew (Tomas and Drew) provided rain gear that kept us dry. Tomas (riding the lead bike) and Drew (covering the rear in the van) were in constant communication so that we would know when to pull over to let cars pass. The entire experience was great fun, in spite of the rain, and we would do it again in a heartbeat!

It was great!!! The guides were funny but very safety conscious. They were very knowledgeable about the plants and history of Maui. I would do it any time again.

First class on safety and scenery. No water on trip and seamed possibly too early at top.

You would think that waking up at 2am for a 2 hour drive in the dark with the driver endlessly rattling on about himself and minutia, would be worth it if you witnessed an awe inspiring sunrise. Sadly, that was NOT the case. The day we went, we were told that we had witnessed one of the most spectacular sunrises over the Heleakala crater. Quite frankly, both my husband and I did not know what all the fuss was about.

We did the later ride, that is, we were picked up at 6:40am. We had a great time! I was terrified before starting the ride, but our guides, Drew and Tomas, were very encouraging and helpful. I really enjoyed this experience, even though I am not what you would call an experienced biker. I'm glad my husband and I decided to do this.

Very informational. Great views. Worth the money and early awakening. Downhill bike ride feels safe and great tour guides.

This Sunrise on top of the Volcano along with the bike ride was everything promised. The bus driver was a great historian of the National Park and we learned many facts we would not learned without his insight. The bike ride was a blast. Our bike leader was great and if I was a bit nervous at the start of the ride but at the end I was ready to zoom downhill again. Thanks to everyone at Cruiser Phil's for a great time.
