If you're up for an exhilarating ride down the slopes of Mount Haleakala, a dormant volcano located in one of the most picturesque places in the world, Maui Downhill's ready for you. Your route is entirely flexible, and can consist of 10-38 miles as you wind your way down the mountainside. You're escorted by professional guides the whole way, and Maui Downhill provides all the necessary equipment, including a chrome mountain bicycle, safety helmet, warm windbreaker suit and insulated gloves.

Review:
Located at the Royal Lahaina Resort alongside Kaanapali Beach, this award-winning luau has been called Maui's best luau value. It's been said that you can't be everything to everyone, but the Royal Lahaina Luau sure comes close. It's the only luau with a children's menu, so if the kids don't want to have anything to do with poi, they can try those old standbys of chicken nuggets, hot dogs, macaroni & cheese, and more. There's plenty for adults, too, starting with a gracious shell lei greeting and your fill of tasty Mai Tais from the open bar. The traditional Imu ceremony is followed by an all-you-can-eat buffet guaranteed to please. After the feast, it's time to relax as dancers, singers, drummers and musicians entertain you with a Polynesian review.

One of Maui's most famous natural attractions is Haleakala National Park, and one of its most famous activities is biking downhill from the summit at sunrise.
