This tour is the much talked about tour where you get up early to drive up to the 10,000 foot level into Haleakala National Park to view the spectacular Sunrise. We are one of only two companies to offer this unique invigorating experience. After the check-in at our office you will board the bus with Valley Isle Excursions to begin your narrated tour up Haleakala by an experienced guide. At the top of the Haleakala you will watch the Sunrise over the crater that looks like the moon. On a clear day you can catch the view of the two mountains of the Big Island of Hawaii – Mauna Kea and Mauna Loa.

Is the Maui Haleakala Sunrise Bike Tour dangerous?2024-07-08T16:17:58-10:00

This bike tour is an unforgettable adventure for any experienced rider. Riders must be confident and comfortable riding a bike under the following conditions:

  • Sharing a road with motor vehicles
  • Traveling downhill from 6500’ vertical feet
  • An average gradient of 5-6%
  • With switchbacks and winding road
  • Certain stretches of the road have no bike lane or shoulder

If you are a bike rider (not a beginner or someone who has not ridden in years) that is comfortable riding on the road with cars at a fast, downhill pace, you will be fine. But, with all things considered, there are risks involved.
