Tour guide very nice and knowledgable. Had to wake up super early and they gave us a few courtesy calls to make sure we made our reservations. Had breakfast with an amazing view afterwards at a delicious cafe. It is really cold when watching the sunrise and the company provided blankets which was a life saver. The tour guide made sure the heater was on afterwards for us.

We had a great experience! We were picked up on time and driven to the summit. Along the way we stopped for a bathroom break and were given fleece-lined ponchos to wear. Although I wore cuddle duds, pants, wool socks, and a winter coat, it was not enough. It is cold and windy up there! However, since we were given the ponchos to wear, the only thing cold on me was my hands taking pictures of the most beautiful sunrise. The included breakfast at the plantation was delicious! It was an EARLY start but so worth it to see the sunrise. Brad and Jeff were great tour guides!

After attempting to aquire Park Service tickets for months without success, we booked this tour just before leaving for Maui. We were so happy we did. Everyone, from the office staff to our amazing guide/driver, Jeff, took care of everyone, right down to getting us to the summit and making sure we had unobstructed views of the complete event. Breakfast was fantastic. Recommend to all with 6-stars. ❤️😎👍👍👍

🌄 Magical & Spiritual Haleakalā Sunrise Watching the sunrise at Haleakalā National Park with Valley Isle Excursions was more than just beautiful — it felt deeply spiritual. Being above the clouds in that quiet stillness felt like a reset… calming, grounding, and almost otherworldly. Our driver was also very knowledgeable and helpful, which made the experience even more meaningful. The tour was smooth and stress-free from start to finish. Tip: dress warm — it’s cold but so worth it. ✨ Truly a powerful and unforgettable experience.

Abe and Jeff were great guides. We had a great view for the sunrise and Abe provided excellent commentary about the history of the islands. Also they had fleece lined ponchos for us that helped with the cold at the top. Also breakfast 10/10!

Taking the tour was our best decision for first time visitors. Our Guides Jeff and Abe, did the steep, winding driving showed us where to stand to best see the sunrise, and provided some Hawaiian history. I highly recommend taking this tour!
