Haleakala Downhill Slopes Bike Adventure

OVERVIEW

Ride down the slopes of Haleakalā on a guided bicycle adventure through Maui’s upcountry landscapes. Begin at the operator’s base with a safety video, light snacks and beverages before traveling by van to the launch point at approximately 6,500 feet. Along the ascent, your guide introduces the mountain’s history, geology and distinctive plants and animals. After bicycle fitting and a comprehensive safety briefing, set out on a 14-mile downhill ride. Follow the switchbacks of Haleakalā Ranch and continue through Kula toward Hāliʻimaile, pausing for photographs along the way. Return your bicycle and equipment at the end of the ride before the transfer back to the pier.
