Additional Information

Maui’s Polynesian Adventure tours are up and running, offering you the chance to witness the island’s exquisite charm. We cordially invite your assistance in the recovery of the island’s western region as we enthusiastically show guests around other incredible, undisturbed parts of Maui.

Embark on a stimulating day trip around the best of Maui, complete with a knowledgeable local guide. Traverse to Haleakala National Park on Maui’s east side to revel in the untouched wilderness of Haleakala Crater, often named ‘House of the Sun.’ From a vantage point that feels like the peak of existence, enjoy unprecedented vistas of Maui’s scenery. Take a pause for lunch and discover the historic town of Makawao, once resident to paniolo, or Hawaiian cowboys. Be astounded by the towering Iao Needle and take a leisurely saunter through the lush Iao Valley.

  • Please contact the tour provider at minimum of 7 days prior to the tour date for ADA and all special requests.
  • 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.

Road to Hana Tour Review - Salesi was an amazing guide who created an experience going through the entire Road to Hana. He made sure to accomodate any requests and pointed out plenty of interesting history and facts about our surroundings that we may have otherwise missed if we did not drive with a guide.

Haleakala with Preston! - We took this tour today through NCL and Preston was our guide. He was wonderful! We couldn’t have asked for a better day to see the crater and have him as our guide. We thoroughly enjoyed our morning on this tour.

Sightseeing on Maui - We really enjoyed our tour with Uncle Mitch. We were a small group of eight so had a lot of chances to ask questions and learn about Maui and the sights we were visiting. The only negative was being dropped off at the mall for lunch. A local restaurant or food truck would have been better but not a dying mall.
