★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 496 reviews · 4 to 5 hours (approx.) · from $139

“Fun experiencing the ride with family. Remy (sp?) was an very entertaining and interesting tour guide. We enjoyed his insights very much. The ride, not so much. Did not enjoy it on a mountain bike - we weren’t going off-road! I personally would have enjoyed it more if it been more of an upright road style bike. Also, to no fault of the Maui Sunriders Co, riding ~6.5 miles, loading back into the van for several miles, then unloading and riding the rest of the way on the bikes again just took away from the experience. The city/locals decided they didn’t want all the bikes riding through a “residential” area.…”

They made it easy and I appreciate how they helped. The touring van and trip out was comfortable, the bike was like brand new (full suspension). The guide, Dakota was brilliant. A true biking enthusiast, a true local to the mountains, he had loads of knowledge about biking there, the nature around us, and about the City itself. Most of all he brought real enthusiasm to the dirt trails! Im really glad I chose to skirt around in…”
