Haleakala National Park
Bicycling Information

Each day a few hardy souls cycle from sealevel to the summit (10,023 feet/3055m). The park roads are open to uphill or downhill cycling 24 hours per day. In planning your trip, please remember:

  • You will need $5 in cash for a individual/cyclist entrance pass.
  • It is often very cold, windy, and wet above 5000 ft/1524 m. More...
  • You are entering a high-elevation environment.
  • The only pay phone in the summit area of the park is at the Park Headquarters Visitor Center at 7000 ft/2134 m.
  • There is no bike path. You will be sharing a narrow, winding mountain road with cars and buses.

There are also commercial tours that will drive you to the top of the mountain and provide a bike and safety equipment for a guided trip down. Please contact the Maui Visitor Bureau to learn more about these tours that are not sponsored by the park.
