ABOUT THE NATIONAL PARK

Haleakala Bike Company dba Bike Maui is the only bike company to hold a concession contract with the National Park Service, allowing them to provide tours of Haleakalā National Park. Entrance into Haleakala National park is included. So that means you do get a trip to the very Summit of Haleakala, where you will have a chance to see the crater and visit Haleakala National Park Visitors Center at the Summit. See our Maui bike tours.

WEATHER

The Summit of Haleakala is at 10,000ft. and it’s said that you lose 3 degrees per 1,000 ft. you climb so at that elevation it will always be chilly. For the Sunrise hours it can even be freezing. Sunrise temperatures can get into the 30s and if during our Day trips, temperatures will be approximately in the 60s. The summit however will have a different temperature than the base of Haleakala which would be in the 80s when you finish.

HOW TO DRESS

Dress appropriately for the cold weather at the summit. While we provide rain gear for the summit, most people are more comfortable with a few extra layers. A sweatshirt and long pants are recommended. But you’ll want to have some layers under that. That will keep you warm at the summit, but allow you to shed your layers as you make your way down the mountain and encounter warmer temperatures.

Items we recommend to keep you comfortable throughout the tour:

Sweatshirt
Long Pants
Fleece Vest
Gloves
Closed-toe shoes
Sunglasses or Prescription Eyewear

Driving Time:

Coming from the South side of Maui Wailea/Makena it should take about an hour to get to Haiku.
From Kihei, 45 minutes.
On the West side, from Lahaina it’s about a 1 hours drive.
From Kaanapali 1 hour and 15 minutes.
From Kapalua 1 hour 30 minutes.
