Adventure Tours Hawaii

Haleakala Sunrise or Sunset Tour

Tour Highlights

Stand above the clouds as the sky slowly ignites across the summit of Haleakalā, where sunrise and sunset transform Maui's volcanic landscape into a sea of shifting gold, crimson, and violet.

  • Choose to watch sunrise or sunset from Haleakalā's 9,740-foot summit
  • Travel through Haleakalā National Park with expert local narration
  • Spot rare silversword plants along the volcanic landscape
  • Explore scenic overlooks across Upcountry Maui and Kula
  • Enjoy breakfast or a Kula Lodge meal with your tour

Quick Local Tip: If time allows, ask your guide about the short walk to Pā Kaʻoao Lookout near the visitor center. The quick climb rewards you with an elevated view over Haleakalā Crater that's worth the extra few minutes.

What to Expect

Travel from sea level to the summit of Haleakalā in a comfortable deluxe minibus as your guide shares stories of Maui's volcanic history, Hawaiian culture, and the landscapes unfolding outside your window.

Inside Haleakalā National Park, pause at the ranger station before continuing to the 9,740-foot summit. Whether you choose sunrise or sunset, you'll witness the crater and surrounding cloud layer transformed by shifting light, revealing colors and textures that change by the minute.

After soaking in the summit views, descend through the rolling farms and forests of Upcountry Maui, stopping for breakfast after sunrise or a meal from the historic Kula Lodge following the sunset tour before returning to your hotel.
