We used Maui Downhill for the sunrise on Haleakala Ride. They were right on time/place and patient with the other customers who weren't. Other reviewers mentioned the "breakfast" being Costco-type muffins: accurate. And, as expected, there was waft of perspiration scent on the rain gear, but we got to remove much of it fairly soon. The simple sandwich I got... More

Thank you for your input! We are pleased that you enjoyed your safari with us! The next time you are on Maui, consider one of our other later options such as the Bike and Winery Safari or one of our Day Safaris. You'll get to sleep in later! Mahalo for choosing Maui Downhill! More

Our guides Dave and Mike were awesome. We had a perfect day in paradise. Certainly worth getting up early for a spectacular downhill ride. More

The weather was BAD - so viewing the volcano was not good - but rain is required frequently to support a tropical paradise so you have to expect and plan on it happening. The guides and equipment provided were excellent! Their concern is your safety first, and enjoyment second. As you would expect, the views, even in the rain, were... More

We had a great experience with Maui Downhill. We did this trip on our second day on the island, before we got our sleep schedules onto HI time. This helped us be ready at our hotel door at 2am. Our first driver was a native, and his view of the island just makes you realize why these islands are such... More

the host for the ride knew how to communicate with people and explained the area very well. RC went out of his way to make sure that you had a great time and took care of all of our needs. Worth the time and experience. More

RC and the crew at Maui Downhill are very professional, safety conscious and FUN! After spending most of our week standing in lines for excursions or not getting everything advertised/paid for or just having to deal with too many tourist, my newlywed husband and I were beyond thrilled and pleased to find that this adventure was everything it was advertised...

I was told by the Maui Downhill company that there is always a spectacular sunrise because Haleakula visitors center is above the clouds. Wrong. We were told to be at the basecamp by 3:30am to see the sunrise at 6:40. That was a complete waste of good sleep. All that needed to be taken care of could have been done... More

We regret that you were mislead, but after locating your reservation, we discovered that you booked your trip through a third party re-seller that is not affiliated with Maui Downhill. We try very hard to be sure that resellers have accurate information, but the person who sold you this excursion was new and, unfortunately seems to have misrepresented some things.... More

The manager and owner are not honest individuals. Their customer service is extremely poor! I had a legitimate billing issue and they dismissed my complaint and concern. I have filed a complaint with the Better Business Bureau. I would not recommend using this company. Furthermore, there are too many other honest reputable touring companies in Maui that a consumer can... More

The guest was arriving by ship and he gave us the wrong port for his pickup. We waited for 15 minutes, at the port. He was a no show. We left to continue the tour. He called 30 minute later and he was at another port, 30 miles away. We are not dishonest and have great costumer service. Mahalo Maui... More

We took the day trip that toured the national park as well as the bike tour. The scenery was breathtaking. Our driver, David and bike leader, Alex, were knowledgable of the area, shared a lot of history of the Island and were very fun & friendly. They were very accomodating in frequent picture stops and their patience with less than... More

Mark was our driver and for the life of me I cannot remember the guides name. They were both good. Mark was a hoot and kept you on your toes the whole time. Recommend layering clothes even more than you think you need. It gets extremely cold at the top of the volcano at 6 in the morning. The sunrise... More
