We did a lot of research on the many companies providing sunrise bicycle tours of Haleakala, and settled on Sunriders. We're glad we did! Why do we feel like we made a good decision? * They were (far) cheaper than any of the other tour operators, especially when booking online. * Sunriders' bicycles were new, well maintained Trek bikes and...

We had such a great time on this trip. Remy, our guide, had lots of interesting stories and bits of trivia about Maui on our trip to the top of the volcano. At the same time, he pointed out the turns we'd be taking on the way back down and gave us cute ways to remember them. He was entertaining... More

All was great with the SunRiders Bike ride: Arriving at 3:15 am in Paia was the hardest part of the ride. But if you want to see the awesome sunrise, it is worth the effort. (Mountain) Mike was there to greet everyone who arrived and gave us a lesson in bike safety and gear. The ride up the Haleakal volcano... More

My husband and I did the bike ride last Monday and had a fantastic time. My husband was concerned that the unguided ride might be too scarry (or dangerous) for me, but Boston Mike made me very comfortable and the ride was so great. Not only did Boston Mike provide us with safety tips, he also was a wealth of... More

During our anniversary vacation to Maui, we were blessed to meet one of the owners of Maui Sunriders, Danni, her daughter Rubi, and Glen the weatherman at Mama's Fish House (sorry if I messed up names :). Absolutely wonderful people. After some encouragement from Ruby we decided to take the bike ride down from the crater :) We are very... More

I did this ride with my 15 year old and 12 year old. We enjoyed the tour of the summit and the ride down from 6500ft to sea level. The ride is all on paved roads and auto traffic was light. I was impressed with the equipment. The bikes were Gary Fisher by Trek with disc brakes. I also appreciated... More

Great ride and value. The tour guide was very knowledgeable and safety conscious. We got to ride at our own pace and received good tips and recommendations on the way up. We manage to get on the road before the other tour companies which also meant we weren't driving behind pilot vans or had to worry about passing other groups.... More

Our group of 5 decided on the sunrise adventure. Be warned it's an early start to your day getting up at 2:30am but, well worth it! The sunrise was beautiful but, very cold and windy...dress warm. Our guide Mike from Boston was a great guide, very knowledgeable and helpful as well as funny. The bike ride down was fun and... More

After a long delay between the time we were told to arrive and the time to departure of the bus to the top, we were assigned bikes with only superficial care for frame sizing. The worst failure was yet to come - the gradual failure of my rear brake, leaving me with only choice of feathering front brakes or running... More

This was not with our company. We are required to keep scrupulous records on every bike and every incident that happens. We have no issues recorded in the entire month of May 2011when this customer said they visited nor any record of bent wheels in that entire quarter. Also, anyone who rides with us is well informed to call us... More

Very, very good tour company. They are by far the safest and most informative company. Excellent safety record. My only suggestion would be better seats on the bikes. The seats are skinny seats and my buns were really sore by the time we got down, so be sure to wear shorts with padding on them. Other than that, we had... More

Thanks for the great review! We put alot of love into what we do and it's great to share it with people like you who really get it! As far as the seats go, next time just ask for a gel seat cover to go over the standard saddle for the full 5 star experience! A Hui Hou! Dani More
