Looking For A Great Group Activity in Maui Try Haleakala Downhill

Maui is a world-class destination for a vacation with family or friends. In fact, there are a number of great Maui activities that are ideal for a group including Haleakala downhill. Biking down the Haleakala volcano is an incredible group activity! Check out why . . .

Self-guided Haleakala downhill bike tours. Our Haleakala bike rides are self-paced so this means your group can stop and go along the bike route as they please. Guided Haleakala downhill tours often have to stop where the guide wants to stop, so you may not be able to eat at the Kula Lodge & Restaurant on the way or stop in Makawao Town, but only at their planned tour sights. This can restrict your group, especially when you have different interests than your tour guide.

On Maui Sunriders’ Haleakala downhill bike tours, your group can stop wherever they would like. Check out the different boutiques, art galleries and restaurants at small towns on the route. vGet some fresh fruit at a stand along the way. When it’s at your own pace, you can bike like your group would in your own hometown with the freedom to see what you want to see.

Or if you don’t want to do the entire activity as a group, you can start out together and meet up at the end in Paia for dinner. This way you have the atmosphere of a group, but everyone also has the freedom to do their own thing if they want. Everyone benefits with self-paced bike tours!

Haleakala downhill isn’t a pro sport. Not everyone in your group may be able to surf, and that can be a bit frustrating for those that want to be in a Maui group activity but aren’t very athletic.

The Haleakala downhill bike tour, however, is a Maui activity that just about anyone can do. All you have to know is how to ride a bike with hand brakes and you’re set! Even children who are at least 9 or 10 years old and are experienced in riding a bike alone can take the Haleakala downhill bike tour.

Children who are at least 6 years old can ride on a trailer bike behind an adult. And we have had a 90-year-old bike rider join us! Haleakala downhill is a relaxing and at the same time exhilarating sport for the entire family. The only restrictions are that pregnant women and those over 300 pounds not ride.

The self-paced feature of our Haleakala downhill bike rides also allows flexibility in regard to everyone’s athletic abilities. Being self-paced, you can stay in your own comfort zone of biking without the pressure of trying to keep up with a bike tour guide and a group of people who not be of the same ability.

There’s something for everyone along the way. Ziplining, snorkeling, or spearfishing may not appeal to everyone in your group. But along the Haleakala downhill bike tour, there will be something for everyone in your group to see. Along the route they can stop to shop in a charming small town boutique or see the paniolo cowboys of Makawao or create their own ‘food tour’ throughout the various towns along the way. Upcountry Maui offers such diversity. Each member of your group will find his own favorite spot along the route.
