Do it! Especially if you have jet-lag. - You get up really early, get on a bus, get driven up the mountain to the highest peak, and get to watch something simply beautiful - the sunrise from the highest point on the island. You will be above the clouds and get to welcome the sun to another day. Besides seeing a sunrise, you will get a nearly 360° view of Maui, from the valley to the mountains and even the nearby islands. On your way down, you’ll get to stop at a few points for more views and pictures. Our last stop was at the restaurant for a tasty, and well deserved breakfast. Things to look out for: 1) the weather - at our resort, it was 72°, but at 6am, it was 40° and windy. Making it feel colder. 2) if it’s cold in the morning, pack extra layers. We had a stop at the “shop” (the drivers headquarters) where you can use the bathroom and grab extra coats, but we had packed additional layers. For each stop on the way up, we added layers. And remove them as we slowly came back down. 3) Also, pack gloves and scarves for extra protection against cold elements. Pack plenty of water and snacks. 4) We got picked up at our resort at 2:15 at the Westin, and weren’t back until 10am. Breakfast was around 9am, so pack snacks to hold you over. We planned this on day 1 to deal with the jet lag. It worked out perfectly.

Spectacular!...but cold - We had a change to our plans while in Maui and booked this tour after multiple recommendations to visit Haleakala. Cory was our driver and picked us up very early in the morning. He was very informative and funny, but also allowed time to catch some additional rest on the way to Haleakala. Definitely plan to dress a bit warmer and pick up both the jacket and pants! The top of the mountain around 6 am was very cold and windy! We got to star gaze a bit and the sunrise was spectacular!! Unfortunately, due to the government shutdown, we were not able to visit the Visitor Center, but the restrooms were still open. A bit disappointed that we didn't get to stop in Makawao or stay longer in Pa'ia, but got to see a lot of the upcountry area of Maui! There weren't a lot of options for breakfast, but it was warm and great to get some coffee after an early and cold morning!

Good tour, pick-up logistics were iffy. - Be aware of dates for pick-up locations. We selected our exact hotel, Viator accepted that location, and we paid. A few hours after purchase, we were contacted saying they were not picking up at our location (or even in our area) and we would need to meet them at a pick-up location. As the pick-up was at 2 AM, the only viable option was for us to rent a car (adding $120 minimum to our experience) in order to get us there. Once we arrived, the pick-up was late, so we were waiting in a random parking lot for 25 minutes, thinking we were just abandoned - no one at Viator was "contactable" as it was now 2:30 AM. Luckily, we continued waiting and the van eventually showed up. Would recommend the experience, with the caveat that you select a day the tour is pickup up in your desired location.

This wasn’t what we... - This wasn’t what we expected. We were in a mixed group with a cycling tour, was the clear focus of the tour company. We spent a lot of time listening to instructions for the bike tour. As a result we were late arriving to the summit and missed some of the color changes before sunrise. We booked this tour because it was estimated at 6 hours (unlike 10 estimates for others) but we were out of our house for close to 9 hours. I would recommend taking a dedicated sunrise tour over this experience. That said it did have its positives. The driver was pleasant and knowledgeable. The breakfast was excellent. And of course the view is once in a lifetime.

Long time in the dark, in a van - $800 to spend 6-7 hours in a van with 10 people. We arrived way too early at Haleakala - almost 2 hours before sunrise, and had to sit in the dark in a tightly packed van, torture. Guide left us at top, no tour, no light, no jackets at top. Use a different company or drive yourself. Jacket and pants are a must.
