The sunrise tour is an absolute must!! First off, you can not go to Maui without seeing he sunrise. The bike ride was an added bonus as the sights are like nothing you will ever see. Our tour guides were really great and provided us with a lot of interesting info. They were very knowledgable and made us feel comfortable... More

Can't say enough good about our bike ride down the volcano/mountain. Definitely would recommend the day trip, rather than the sunrise trip. Our guides Thomas and Rob were knowledgeable, enterrtaining and kind. Thomas serenaded us on the ukulele. The owner Phil greeted us on our return to base. We'll be back! The Jameses. More

We chose the sunrise tour with the bike ride down. I was a little nervous, but the guides were very knowledgable and careful. I felt very safe and I had a wonderful adventure! More

Fabulous experience! The staff, office and everything was just top of the line! Tomas in particular was a great guide who was very knowledgeable about the area and really seemed to not only enjoy his job (how could you not?), but also took the extra effort to add his personal touch and create a really fun and unforgettable day on...

The trip was most definitely worth waking up in the middle of the night. Seeing the sun rise over the volcano was amazing and the ride down after was fun and easy. We had Everett and Sam for the ride down and they were both awesome. They were very helpful and didn't make you feel bad if you wanted to... More

My husband and I had spent quite some time planning our trip to Hawaii and everyone we knew who had been there said that the sunrise bike ride down Volcano Haleakala was a hands-down highlight. We only had one night in Maui and so we booked with Cruiser Phil’s based on the reviews we saw here … and we were... More

First, anyone that you talk to will tell you that waking up at 2AM to go see this sunrise is a must-do. They are absolutely right. The bike ride down is just icing on the cake. After researching several different companies, I decided to book my husband and I on a bike ride with Cruiser Phil's for a couple of... More

Rod drove and Tomas gave us a wonderful commentary about everything we were seeing. Tomas also briefed us on what to expect and how to ride down the mountain. Tomas lead the way and Rod drove behind us controlling traffic. What a great way to enjoy the mountain and it's scenery! We didn't have to worry about traffic, we just... More

Beautiful, nice tour. Great hosts, very friendly. All the prices on any of these are about the same. If your a bike enthusiast, this is the thing to do or if going 25 mph down a mountain is a thrill to you. If your looking to go up for just the scenery, it'd be cheaper to just rent a car... More
