A scenic national park known as the “house of the sun”. The mountainous Haleakala Crater is a natural phenomenon and visible from just about any point on the island of Maui. Towering at just over 10,000ʻ above the beach, the road we traverse in the dark hours of the early morning is one of the steepest, shortest roads to such a height in the entire world.
We reach the summit prior to sunrise to give you time to enjoy the celestial heavens. The summit of Haleakala is one of the most amazing star gazing spots in the world. Already home to many of the worlds most productive telescopes. Just before dawn, the beautiful colors of morning start to appear throughout the sky and in the valley, 1800ʻ below you. Have your cameras ready.
Starting your day at the top of a mountain with the first rays of sun hitting you is probably one of the most memorable experiences you will have on your Maui vacation. Wrapped in a warm hooded blanket (provided by your guide), you stand atop of an 1800ʻ cliff, above a valley filled with volcanic craters and flows is simply majestic.
Afterwards, you tour guide makes a number of stops going down the mountain at Kalahaku overlook, Park Headquarters and in Upcountry Maui.
