Reviews
Lots of information and loads of fun. Easy ride!
Thanks
On the way down, we stopped for about 45 minutes in the quaint town of Makawao in upcountry. We found a cute coffee shop called Vida and then noshed on a two-pound chocolate-peppermint-whiskey cookie from the Maui Cookie Lady. (You really gotta try these cookies!)
The bikes were heavy road bikes (rather than mountain/trail bikes), which made for a safe and smooth ride. Full helmets (and any other gear you needed or wanted) were provided. We made several slows and quick stops on the way down. Don’t miss out on this amazing experience while you’re in Maui!
Tour guide Joe was terrific.
The guide talk about the volcano and rare plants and animals native to Hawaiian Islands was a bit skimpy. He did tell us about all the ‘wild’ chickens and how dangerous they are as they are let loose from illegal cock fighting. I’m not sure they are indigenous to Hawaii. Breathtaking views? We were told to keep our eyes on the road looking straight ahead. If we turned our heads to look at the views we might crash!
The bikes were very road worthy with great brakes and comfortable seats. And overall the bike ride portion was enjoyable.
We purchased our tour from the cruise ship and paid $189.95, not a cheap tour. The same excursion could have been purchased directly from the company for $109 online. Number 11 on their rule sheet had tipping suggestion of 15 - 20%. And we were told by our guide that they depend on their tips and that they ‘know what we all paid, and so we should be tipping $30 each’!!! We didn’t have $60 US cash on us and we couldn’t use our credit card for the tip, but we did have $20 cash and were planning to tip them this, but I was so offended by his assertion that we were expected to tip so they got nothing! Besides, I’m not sure it was worth $219.95 (with tip).
