• Historic Makawao Town - Before heading to the summit, take some time to explore the delightful Makawao Town, a relaxed upcountry area rich in Hawaiian cowboy (paniolo) heritage. Discover unique shops, enjoy a meal at a local restaurant, and immerse yourself in the genuine atmosphere of this historic former ranch town that highlights Maui’s diverse cultural legacy.
• Haleakala National Park - Journey to the peak of Maui’s stunning dormant volcano for an unforgettable highlight at Haleakala National Park, standing 10,023 feet above sea level in this must-see Maui experience. As one of only six authorized companies to offer Haleakala tours, we provide exclusive access to witness awe-inspiring sunrises that have captivated visitors since the 1800s, explore the surreal volcanic crater landscape, and encounter rare endemic silversword plants found nowhere else on Earth. This remarkable Haleakala National Park adventure combines breathtaking volcanic views, unique high-altitude ecosystems, and the memorable experience of standing atop Maui’s sacred volcano, making it a vital vacation highlight that showcases the raw natural power and beauty that define the Hawaiian Islands.
• Haleakala Crater - The magnificent Haleakala Crater is a breathtaking geological marvel that spans 11.25 miles across, 3.2 miles wide, and descends nearly 2,600 feet deep, creating one of the world’s most stunning volcanic landscapes. The Pa Ka’oao Trail (also known as White Hill Trail) is a brief 0.4-mile walk starting at the visitor parking lot and leading to an elevated overlook offering stunning views of the crater floor. This short hike is just half a mile and well worth the effort, providing visitors with an exceptional vantage point to truly appreciate the massive scale and otherworldly beauty of the crater. The views from this conical mound are significantly better than those from the visitor center, making it an ideal way for tour guests to experience the raw volcanic power and stark beauty that define Haleakala’s “house of the sun” landscape.
• Haleakala Observatories - Known as “Science City,” the Haleakalā High Altitude Observatory was established in 1958 due to the excellent viewing conditions the shield volcano offers, where minimal light pollution, along with the high-altitude air and elevation, make it one of the most outstanding and valuable planetariums in the world. The Haleakalā Observatory, also referred to as the Haleakalā High Altitude Observatory Site, is Hawaii’s first astronomical research observatory and covers 18 acres at 10,000 feet above sea level, operated and managed by the University of Hawaii. While visitors can view the observatory complex from the Haleakala Summit and visitor center, the facility itself is dedicated to pioneering astronomical research that continues to enhance our understanding of the universe from this pristine high-altitude location.
• Haleakala National Park - Experience a Stunning Sunset: Be amazed by the spectacular sunset from the very top of Maui at 10,023 feet elevation, where a magnificent display of dazzling light and breathtaking colors creates an unforgettable conclusion to your Maui adventure.
