Overview

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.

5.00Preston was an incredible guide. Very knowledgeable and funny. He always showed us interesting things that many people miss when doing this excursion. He gave my daughter a jacket and hat when he noticed she was cold and my son loved the hot coco. I feel so lucky we got to experience this today. :)
Don’t miss this experience!

5.00One of the best tour experiences I’ve ever had. Preston is a superb driver and an even finer guide. His knowledge about Maui is impressive. However, he cares about his home and is markedly passionate in sharing it with those fortunate to climb aboard his coach. Many thanks to your company, with very high marks for Preston.
Fun Trip
