From the harbor, transfer around the island to the bike base. Listen to a safety briefing here and enjoy coffee, juice and snacks before setting out in the van with the bikes in a trailer.
The van climbs a winding road to 6,500 feet above sea level. Your guide provides an informative commentary on the local geology, plant life and resident animal and bird species.
At the launch point, put on a helmet and take off on the 14-mile bike ride down a road with thrilling switchbacks and stunning views.
Pass through Haleakala Ranch and the upcountry town of Kula before you coast into Hali'imaile — home of the historical General Store.
A road transfer returns you to the ship in Kahului.
Notes:
The downhill ride is steep and winding. Participants must be competent and confident bike riders. Minimum age is 12 years. Minimum height is 5'0". Maximum weight is 280 lbs. Guests who are pregnant or have a heart, knee, back or neck condition are not allowed to participate. Dress warmly in layers with a wind- and waterproof outer layer. Wear comfortable closed-toe walking shoes. Shade is limited; to avoid sunburn, wear light, long clothing suitable for use as a cover-up. Bring a hat and sunglasses; wear biodegradable sunscreen. Bring bottled water. The road to the summit is a series of winding switchbacks; guests who suffer from motion sickness should consider this before booking and/or take appropriate medication.
