Maui Biking Spotlight
The highlight of biking on Maui is
riding down the Haleakala Volcano. You have
several tour operators to choose from. You
also have several tour types. There is the bike
down the volcano at sunrise. This ride isn't for those
that like to sleep in. The tour companies usually
pick you up at your hotels starting at 2 am. You
eat breakfast at sunrise on the volcano summit, and
after watching sunrise, you proceed down the
mountain. Total tour time from pick up to drop off
is 8-9 hrs.
The other Maui "bike the
volcano" tour for those that aren't awake at 2 am
normally, is the 7 am trip.
Either trip is awesome. You are
supplied with beach cruiser type bikes, a tour guide,
and gear. Occasionally it rains at the summit and
most operators provide rain gear when
necessary.
This ride is fun, but if you want to
remain unscathed on you trip to Maui, make you know how
to ride a bike. Any flat land wobblers will
definitely be at risk on the way down.
