Mobile ticket

Witness the dawning of a new day atop Haleakala (the house of the sun) a dormant volcanic mountain overlooking Maui on the east side. Deep canyons and slopes and unspoiled terrain are home to endemic Hawaiian Nene geese and rare Silversword plants.

You'll be transported in a comfortable mini coach to 9,740 feet elevation, close to the summit to witness the ultimate sunrise; a spectacular show of lights and colors. The sunrise tour is an unforgettable experience and a definite must-do on your Hawaii vacation. On the descent, marvel at sprawling scenic views of Kula and the Pacific Ocean on your way to breakfast at local favorite, Cafe O'Lei at the Plantation in Waikapu.

Haleakala is known for rapidly changing weather conditions and dense clouds and rain are common. As a result, clear viewing of the sunrise is not guaranteed, and the tour operates rain or shine. Refunds will be granted only when the tour is cancelled for safety reasons.

The high altitude at the summit area may complicate health conditions and breathing difficulties. Elderly visitors, pregnant women, young children, and those with respiratory or heart conditions should consult their doctor prior to touring. Walk slowly and drink water to avoid dehydration. If you have gone scuba diving, you should wait at least 72 hours before going on this tour.

    This tour was incredible! Preston was an excellent guide—so funny and engaging, and he made the early morning wake-up totally worth it. He knew exactly where to take us for the best sunrise views at Haleakalā and made the whole experience memorable. Big shoutout to Polynesian Adventure Tours as well—after I accidentally left my sunglasses on the bus, they went above and beyond to return them to my accommodation the next day. Amazing service all around. Highly recommend!

  • Excellent Trip

    Awesome experience, one everyone should do when on the island. Long trip up and down the mountain, which at times felt like the tour operator was stretching out too much.

  • Awesome!

    This was a wonderful experience. Make sure to bring a jacket and warmer clothing as it can get to 40 degrees at the top.

  • Great way to see...
