SEE WHAT OUR BIKERS HAVE TO SAY
Beautiful sunrise follow by beautiful downhill ride.
We had such a nice time on this bike tour! It is definitely an early start, but don’t let that scare you. The tour guide was very informative and engaging and taught us lots about Haleakala and Maui. After sunrise, it’s a leisurely downhill coast down back to the bike shop. There are shops and restaurants along the way if you’re so inclined or you can just enjoy the ride. There are only like 3 small uphill sections but they’re short and in the scheme of the whole ride no big deal. Definitely recommend!
- CAITLIN I. | TripAdvisor
Our guide Rich was excellent and very knowledgeable. He made the day all the better. We had the deluxe tour and had a great view up at the crater, luckily the clouds cleared just as we got up there. The biking part is very fun, quite fast as well. It was not hard biking but there are a few uphill sections that can be a challenge to get up(I had to walk up one). We stopped for lunch on the way down at the Kula Lodge and it was excellent as well. Definitely recommended.
- RYAN S. | TripAdvisor
We had a terrific time on this tour. The guides were outstanding and the scenery and views breathtaking. Getting up in the wee hours was difficult, but worth it. Bikes were nice and in good condition. Ride was easy as it was nearly all downhill.
Tour is highly recommended for anyone wanting to see the volcano and the island from a different perspective.
- MATTHEW T. | TripAdvisor
Easy check in, organized, shuttle ride informative, driver made sure we knew how to get back on self guided portion, excellent experience Would definitely book with this company again!
- MECHELLE | TripAdvisor
Interesting culture, beautiful scene and fun downhill
We got exactly what we thought we would get. It was the self guided downhill. The rest is guided and well done. If you are confident on a bicycle, it's perfect for you. If you are a little apprehensive on a bike, you might consider the guided tour. They use vans to block the traffic from behind and pull over a bunch to let the car traffic pass. If you are confident on a bike, this will drive you kinda crazy. Either way, it's worth getting up too early on a vacation morning.
- MICHAEL | TripAdvisor
Great Sunrise and Bike Tour
We did the Sunrise self - guided bike ride. Pick up is EARLY, but they get you to the top of the volcano so you can get a good spot with a view. Immediately after sunrise, you get back in the van and drive out of the park to pick up your bikes, and then you coast downhill for 22 miles. Beautiful ride, going early meant the roads weren't crowded and I mostly felt very safe. Bikes and gear were in good shape too!
- DANA M. | TripAdvisor
Best thing to do on the island
The sunrise was spectacular and the self guided bike ride down the mountain is unbelievable. If you are into out door adventure this is a huge MUST. The entire package is downplayed online- we got the heads up to do the tour from other tourists we ran into and are SO glad we did. unique and unbelievable experience.
- ANNA W | TripAdvisor
Haleakala tour and unguided bike ride
As others have mentioned, we did this early in our vacation before we had adjusted to the time change. Up at 3am, the tour bus picked us up to go to the shop to get outerwear and verify our bikes. We brought lots of layers from home and were very glad we did. The guide chatted on our drive up and then brought us to a great lookout spot for the sunrise. We were very lucky that our morning was fairly clear and we got some amazing pics. My husband and I are experienced bikers and were glad we chose the self-guided option. We had an easy ride down, and stopped for breakfast at the suggested spot. It was a fabulous morning.

sunrise bike ride with by daughter
This was a great memory making experience. The team had all the gear ready for us and good instruction to keep safe. I felt very taken care of throughout the entire experience. My daughter and I had a great time. Loved the lavender gift shop along the way too. Highly recommend.
- HEATHER | TripAdvisor
An absolute must on Maui
The tour guides were efficient and thorough as well as entertaining. They answered questions and provided information about the island and it’s history. Wonderful experience! Highly recommend !!!
- TINGAIL | TripAdvisor
Great family activity
After recovering from the 2am wake up call, my family really enjoyed the excursion. We planned ahead and brought clothing to help keep us warm in the pre-dawn hours atop the crater, so the cold weather wasn't an issue. It is a very easy ride (you brake way more than you pedal), but you need to confident on a bike. The road is open to automobiles and you have to maneuver several tight turns. Stay alert, don't get mesmerized by the views and you will have a great ride.

![best sunrise bike tour haleakala Maui Sunriders Bike Co.](https://mauisunriders.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/Maui_Sunriders_Bike_Shop.png)
No Haleakala Sunrise Bike Tour?
Maui Sunriders offered Haleakala sunrise tours for nearly 20 years. Here is why we decided to bid farewell to sunrise tours:
HALEAKALA SUNRISE Bike Tours are MORE EXPENSIVE
The National Park service charges a pretty penny for tour operators to shuttle guests to the summit for sunrise. Haleakala sunrise bike tour companies pass that entire cost off to you, the guest. Therefore, b ooking a sunrise bike tour with any operator will cost $200-$240 per person.
Our tour is around half of that price, and, due to the self-guided nature of our tour, we feel that the cycling experience is, in fact, better.
Did you know you can see the sunrise (with a National Park reservation) or sunset (no reservations needed) on your own for a fraction of the cost? Read to the end for tips on how to pull this off!
ALL HALEAKALA Bike Rides START AT THE SAME PLACE
The National Park Service does not allow any downhill bike tour operator to ride bikes within the National Park, which starts at an elevation of about 7,000′ (the summit is at 10,000′!). No bike tours on Maui start at the summit!
Immediately after watching the sunrise from the summit on a sunrise bike tour, you get back in the van to drive down to an elevation of 6,500′; all bike tour operators use this elevation as the staging area for their bike rides.
On a sunrise bike tour, your experience at the summit is short-lived (and cold!). Don’t you want to explore the summit area? Maybe explore some of the 35+ miles of hiking trails accessible from the summit? We suggest going into the Park on your own to really enjoy your time up there!
Sunrise Tours Are Earlier than you might think!
To watch the sunrise at 10,000′, you have to wake up VERY EARLY. Do you really want to wake up at 1-2am on vacation? Riders are often groggy and sleepy after sunrise which compromises your ability to stay focused on the bike ride, potentially making the ride more dangerous. Early morning temperatures at elevation are also quite low (not unusual to be near freezing temperatures), meaning it will be a chilly start to your ride!
HALEAKALA SUNRISE TOUR TRAFFIC AND SAFETY
On a sunrise bike tour, your ride starts at the height of the descending sunrise traffic. On weekdays, you’ll also find yourself in the height of local traffic heading to work or school, particularly at the lower elevations.
Locals are often stuck behind downhill cyclists, which can be frustrating for both drivers and cyclists alike. Our mid-morning Haleakala downhill ride starts a bit later; there are fewer cars on the road, making for a less stressful ride down.
Our later start also reduces our local impact on the roads. This is also why we don’t do guided tours…sag vehicles and large groups occupy a large stretch of road and can cause long delays!
If A Haleakala Sunrise Tour is a must, here’s a cost-effective way to make it happen…
Catch the famous Maui Haleakala sunrise on your own with a $1.50 online sunrise reservation fee through the National Park website AND a $30 park entrance fee per car (pay at the gate – your ticket is valid for 3 days at Summit & Kīpahulu entrance).
Online sunrise reservations are VERY hard to attain as sunrise is very popular & crowded. They sell out far in advance and even their 2-day batch release can sell out in less than a minute. Remember you will need to wake up around 1-2am to drive up the volcano in time to catch the sun. It will be VERY cold (temps in the 30s, and often windy!) so dress warm & bring layers.
We suggest doing sunrise on a different day than your bike ride. While you can do it on the same day as your bike tour with us, you will have to be in the car to start your drive down immediately after sunrise in order to get to our shop by 8:45am. Plan to leave the summit no later than 7:15am to get back down to our bike shop in time for your bike ride.
Unfortunately, we cannot meet riders up on Haleakala. All riders must check-in at our shop.
Our Recommendation? Catch a summit sunset on your own after our bike tour!
Sunsets at the Haleakala summit are just as good – if not better – than sunrises. It’s warmer, there are fewer people, and no reservation is needed.
Join us in the morning for your downhill ride. After your ride, get some lunch in Paia. Grab some food & beverages to bring with you, then drive yourself up to the summit at 10,000′. The entry fee is $30 per car (pay at the entrance gate- ticket is valid for 3 days at Summit & Kīpahulu entrances). No reservations are required after 7am.
From our shop, it’s a 1.5 hour drive to the summit. You can enter the park a couple of hours before sunset and explore the park, go for an out-and-back hike into the crater (Sliding Sands trail!), and therefore see more than you would at sunrise.
Keep in mind – all sunrises and sunsets are 50/50…views are spectacular on a clear day, but clouds can roll in with little notice. It’s not uncommon for the entire summit to be socked in!
For sunset, you can always look up the volcano before committing to the drive to see if it’s clear. However, don’t be fooled by the clouds, they often linger around 6500′-7500′. The 10,000′ summit might be clear of the cloud layer.
When in doubt you can always check the Live Webcam at Haleakala Summit . It will be cold once the sun begins to set so dress warm & bring layers. For the best viewing, get there early as the summit parking fills up fast – but the secondary lower lot is just as good so don’t stress about it too much.
Committing to a sunrise viewing is all or nothing – you have a reservation, and you start driving in the dark…there’s no way to look up to see if it’s clear or not!

ABOUT THE NATIONAL PARK
Haleakala Bike Company dba Bike Maui is the only bike company to hold a concession contract with the National Park Service, allowing them to provide tours of Haleakalā National Park. Entrance into Haleakala National park is included. So that means you do get a trip to the very Summit of Haleakala, where you will have a chance to see the crater and visit Haleakala National Park Visitors Center at the Summit. See our Maui bike tours.
The Summit of Haleakala is at 10,000ft. and it’s said that you lose 3 degrees per 1,000 ft. you climb so at that elevation it will always be chilly. For the Sunrise hours it can even be freezing. Sunrise temperatures can get into the 30s and if during our Day trips, temperatures will be approximately in the 60s. The summit however will have a different temperature than the base of Haleakala which would be in the 80s when you finish.
HOW TO DRESS
Dress appropriately for the cold weather at the summit. While we provide rain gear for the summit, most people are more comfortable with a few extra layers. A sweatshirt and long pants are recommended. But you’ll want to have some layers under that. That will keep you warm at the summit, but allow you to shed your layers as you make your way down the mountain and encounter warmer temperatures.
Items we recommend to keep you comfortable throughout the tour:
- Fleece Vest
- Sunglasses or Prescription Eyewear
Driving Time:
- Coming from the South side of Maui Wailea/Makena it should take about an hour to get to Haiku.
- From Kihei, 45 minutes.
- On the West side, from Lahaina it’s about a 1 hours drive.
- From Kaanapali 1 hour and 15 minutes.
- From Kapalua 1 hour 30 minutes.
