Preparation works - Well-scheduled and planned excursion, with plenty of local information. Preparation for the cold weather was awesome.

Great tour company - We used Valley Isle Excursions for both the Road to Hana tour and the Sunrise Tour. Both were amazing. The drivers and staff were informative and entertaining. we loved the perk of Valley Isle providing the ponchos for the Sunrise Tour. It added an extra layer of protection against the cold and wind.

Excellent tour - This was a very enjoyable tour. We were fortunate to see a beautiful sunrise. You do have to keep in mind the weather, of course, but we were lucky. I was definitely cold - probably in the 40s (yes: in Hawaii). They do provide parkas but we had hoodies, also. Needed both. Abe and Brian, our guides, were phenomenal. The breakfast was very good. It was expensive but worth the money since we'd already driven the Road to Hana and didn't want to drive a mountain again. Recommend it but keep the weather in mind so you can see a sunrise.

Haleakela Sunrise is a must see - The pickup was right on time. The guide, Everett was informative, funny and got us the best spot at the rail to watch the sunrise. We got great pics.... looked like we were on Mars... surreal. He also took us to the crater valley and the Planation for a great breakfast. Told great stories the whole way up and down the mountain. I know you have to get up at 2am for this, but it is well worth it... don't leave Maui without seeing it. Five Stars!!!

Great experience! - We throughly enjoyed out trip to Haleakala with Valley Isle! With such an early departure, it was nice to have someone else do the driving and they made sure we had a great spot for watching the sunrise. Abe made the morning fun and provided great insight to Hawaiian culture and the history of Haleakala.

A must do! - Visiting the Haleakala Sunrise excursion is a must for every Maui-traveler. Such a beautiful, breathtaking experience! We enjoyed every second! Our tour guides have been another highlight of this excursion. We had a lot of fun with Everett and Alika. Both informed so well about every step of the excursion, what is planned next and shared so many insightful information about Maui, the Hawaiian culture and history with us.

Let someone do the driving so everyone in your party can enjoy the view - Really enjoyable. We’ve gone to Haleakala on our own, for both sunrise and sunset. This time, however, we decided to let someone else do the driving and take care of park reservations and such for the sunrise trip; this company had smaller vans (less swaying up/down the road than larger vehicles) and body-length lined blankets, and it seemed to have better reviews. It was cold—very cold—so be prepared. But our group huddled and enjoyed a somewhat cloudy but beautiful sunrise. One of our drivers, Abe, even joined a few others in a Oli (chant) to welcome the new day. Equally enjoyable was our drivers’ knowledge. Everett and Abe worked well together, and on the ride up and down the volcano, they shared details about the volcano, plants, history of life around the volcano, and history of Hawai’i, and its people. The excursion ended with a delicious and hearty breakfast at Cafe ‘O Lei at the Plantation. It seems to be a gathering spot for all of these tours, but drivers all seem to get along and the trip was a wonderful way to start the vacation.

Beautiful sunrise - Beautiful sunrise a nice experience with the Hawaiian chanting. Not sure the cost justifies the experience. The capes were a nice touch. It was a very long day I would recommend a sunset as opposed to the sunrise.
