View Maui from above the clouds, an unforgettable way to take in the island. Then descend on your bicycle through five distinct ecosystems as you cruise through Eucalyptus forests and beautiful ocean views. (Cruiser Phil will provide us with specific volcano-bikes to safely navigate the road down the volcano). [35 miles]
