Classic Haleakala Sunrise Tour

A Sunrise Tour of Maui’s Haleakala National Park led by an NAI certified guide

Haleakala National Park, which stretches along the coastline from south to east, is home to Haleakala, the highest point on Maui at 3,055 meters above sea level. Haleakala means “House of the Sun” in Hawaiian, and its majestic appearance can be seen from anywhere on the island. The Haleakala Visitor Center, located at an elevation of approximately 3,000 meters, is known as one of the best places to watch the sunrise and is a popular destination for tourists from around the world. On a clear morning, the mystical sunrise from the top of Haleakala is an unforgettable experience.

On this tour, you will learn about Maui’s nature and culture as an NAI (The National Association for Interpretation) -certified guide explains the geology and ecology of Haleakala National Park in an easy-to-understand manner. In the vast Haleakala National Park, you will encounter a variety of natural environments. The summit of Haleakala, above the clouds, is an otherworldly wilderness that has been used as a filming location for movies in the past. At Haleakala, you may also encounter the silversword, an alpine plant found only in the Himalayas and on Mauna Kea on the Big Island of Hawaii, and the Nene Goose, the state bird of Hawaii.

After visiting Haleakala National Park, your guide will take you to Kula in the Upcountry, where lavender cultivation and grazing flourishes; Makawao, the town of the Hawaiian cowboy “paniolo”; Paia, a North Shore town of surfers and; and the town of Haiku, with its roots in the pineapple industry and home to the 4th Marine Division in the 1940s.
