Fiets naar de zee met Maui Bombers

This was our 2nd ride with Maui Bombers in 2 years. Cycling was my family's #1 choice of excursions. We had a great time. All the personal touches that Matt & Eric provide make it an obvious choice.

The Cycle to the Sea tour with Maui Bombers was the bomb. As a three to four days a week Wisconsin cyclist, I was looking forward to riding from 6,500 ft above sea level down Haleakala. The tour met and even exceeded my expectations. Matt and Eric are great guides making sure the group was comfortable on the Trek bikes and having fun. The bikes were in all great condition and the couple of times we had to ride up short inclines the shifting was very smooth. Also having bike helmets instead of full face helmets was a big plus. Matt has a fantastic set of songs as a soundtrack for your ride down the switchbacks of Haleakala. He also takes photos and videos as you ride and then Airdrops the results to the group after reaching the end of the ride. These special extras are included in the cost of the tour. Eric follows the group down in the Honda Pilot which allows cars coming down the mountain to know that there are bikers ahead on the road. He also lets Matt know that cars are coming so Matt can signal the group that we need to move to the side of the lane. On the day we rode there was very little traffic so we had the whole lane to ourselves most of the time. The tour included delicious snacks, water or Gatorade. The lunch in Makawao was also delish with several items to chose from. The second half of the tour was also downhill from Makawao thru Paia and then on to Baldwin Park where we finished at the “sea”. I rode this solo as my wife is not a cyclist but enjoyed riding with the other three cyclists in the group. Big thanks to Matt for making sure I was able to ride with this group as he needs more than one rider for the tour. If you are trying to decide which bike tour to go with, I would highly recommend Maui Bombers.

We all had a fun time on our tour. Matt and Eric were great guides, had yummy snacks for us, and made the trip a memorable experience. We appreciated having the bike helmets vs the full face helmets that other companies use, and liked our small group.
