Add a Bike Tour to Your Maui Vacation Plans

Are you taking a vacation to Maui soon? When planning your vacation to the islands, you’re no doubt trying to plan which Maui activities to do. Many wonder if they should take a tour or try to go sightseeing all on their own. Well, there are many advantages to taking a tour, especially a bike tour with Maui Sunriders, as opposed going to Haleakala on your own. Let us explain why.

Experience the excitement of a bike tour in Maui.

There are many kinds of tours you can take on vacation. Why opt for a bike tour of the Valley Isle? Well, if you want a little adventure with a sightseeing expedition, then a bike tour in Maui is the way to go. Our Maui bike tours down the Haleakala volcano offer a relaxing and at the same time an exciting way to see Upcountry Maui. Instead of just riding in a car or bus, experience the crisp wind in your hair as you ride a bike down the volcano all the way to sea level. And with a bike tour, you don’t just see Upcountry, but you really get a chance to be a part of the scenery. You can stop and pick a flower or have a picnic on a Haleakala hillside with the mountains in the background. There’s no better way to really see all of Upcountry Maui and at the same time experience it firsthand than to take a bike tour through this beautiful land.

Biking is also just a fun, healthy, and relaxing activity. Thus, bike tours in Maui offer an active and more memorable way of seeing this incredible island.

Guided through the area.

Many drive up to the summit of Haleakala on their own and set off to explore Haleakala Crater or other parts of Haleakala National Park and Upcountry, and they will see a gorgeous and unique landscape. But how much more could you see and understand about what you’re viewing by having a guide tell you more about the area? On our bike tours of Maui’s Haleakala volcano, we give guests a narrated tour of the area as we drive up to the summit. On this narrated tour, our experienced guides give interesting information about the National Park and Haleakala Crater, various points of interest along the way, facts about Hawaiian culture, and where there are great restaurants, shops, and art galleries along the route. This narrated van tour gives you all the information you need to have a fun and memorable bike ride down Haleakala.

Our self-paced bike tours in Maui give you the best of both worlds. 

Sometimes you want a little bit of everything. Wouldn’t it be great if you could have a guide show you the area giving you interesting and helpful tips and yet also get to explore Haleakala on your own? Well, we thought so too. That’s why we developed a self-paced bike tour of Haleakala. On our self-paced tours, guests are driven up to the summit of Haleakala on the same route they will later bike down. As we drive up to the summit, guests are given a narrated tour of the area with interesting facts about Haleakala, culture, points of interest, and various shops to stop at along the way. Then, after exploring a little of the summit area and crater, guests are taken to start their self-paced bike ride down Haleakala. With our self-paced tour, you get to explore Upcountry on your own timetable, stopping wherever you would like along the route. Having already heard about the area and points of interest on the tour ride up, you now can see the sights at your own pace. On guided bike tours down Haleakala, guests have to keep up with the biker taking the lead in the group and stop where they want to stop. But with a self-paced tour, you’re in control and can take a relaxing bike ride down the volcano and stop at whichever town or store you would like – all the way to back down to sea level.

So, should you take a tour or go sightseeing on your own? With our self-paced bike tours in Maui, you can do a little bit of both and see all that Upcountry has to offer!
