Express Self-Guided: Mountain Riders guests meet at our office 497 Baldwin Ave., Paia at 7:30am. The Maui Express Bike Tour begins with a guided van tour from our office to the launching point of the bike ride (located at about the 6,500' elevation). You will begin your self -paced tour at 6,500' elevation, riding downhill through Haleakala Ranch where you will hop back in the van and return to 6,500 feet to enjoy the scenic switchbacks once more. The tour then continues with a driving tour through Kula to Makawao Town, where you will enjoy a brief stop to explore the historic paniolo town. Your tour then continues coasting through sugar cane fields and concluding in the beachside town of Paia. We provide transportation to the 6,500' level, as well as Volcano Chrome Cruiser bikes and full face Helmets.
