The Haleakala downhill bike tour draws rave reviews from families and casual riders who love the leisurely pace and knowledgeable guides like Matias, Remi, and Evie. These guides clearly know the area well and make safety a priority while sharing local insights and creating a fun atmosphere. The shop also offers high-quality Trek and e-bike rentals for those wanting to explore independently, with staff going above and beyond to ensure proper fit and providing helpful route recommendations. One experienced cyclist noted the tour caters more to casual riders than serious cyclists, mentioning the bikes are set up primarily for downhill and involve shuttle segments between riding portions. There's also one concerning safety incident mentioned involving brake failure in rainy conditions. That said, the overwhelming majority of recent guests had fantastic experiences and describe the downhill ride as a must-do Maui activity. The Paia location earns consistent praise for friendly service, well-maintained equipment, and staff who genuinely care about helping customers have memorable adventures on the island.
Our experience with Maui Sunriders on the Haleakalā Downhill Self-Guided Bike Tour was nothing short of phenomenal! From start to finish, everything was smooth, safe, and incredibly fun. The highlight of the experience was undoubtedly our guide, Remy. He was hilarious, full of energy, and shared just the right mix of safety tips and local stories to keep us both informed and entertained. His passion for Maui and biking was contagious and really set the tone for the whole adventure. The bikes and gear were top-quality, the route was breathtaking, and the freedom of the self-guided ride made the whole journey feel personalized and relaxed. Coasting down from the slopes of Haleakalā through charming town of Makawao and stunning scenery was an experience we’ll never forget. If you’re in Maui and looking for a must-do activity, Maui Sunriders is it and if you get Remy as your guide, you’re in for a treat! Mahalo for the amazing memories!
