Pass by
Maui’s rich farming and ranching history is still evident by the vast pastures that line the side of the mountain. Kula’s cool weather and rich volcanic soil make the area an ideal spot for a number of Lavender, Protea, and Macadamia Nut farms.
30 min
The Hawaiian Cowboys or Paniolos have roots set deep in the town of Makawao. This small town still has hitching rails at storefronts just as the locals once used to tie up their horses.
60 min
Today Pa’ia is a popular surf destination, however, Pa’ia’s history is as intriguing as it is fascinating. Learn about how the Sugar Plantations shaped this town and the culture of the island, and how this small north shore town was once a gathering place for entertainment and fun.

John was an amazing tour...
John was an amazing tour guide for our sunrise experience!! Very knowledgeable and went above and beyond to make sure everyone was having a good time. Highly recommend wearing warm clothes, it was very windy up there and a windchill of 34 degrees. Although it was very cold, it was breathtakingly beautiful!

Best sunrise I've ever witnessed!
This was an amazing trip to the top of the mountain! It's a tour bus, so if you get motion sickness, make sure to take something. Our driver, Corey, was enthusiastic and kept us entertained for the whole trip. The road is nice and wide, 2 lanes, and winds back and forth all the way up. Wear layers. It will be humid at sea level, but as you climb higher, it will get drier and much cooler. If you cannot stand cold and windy, make sure to pack hats and gloves as you will be standing around the rim waiting for the rise. After traveling back down to the town of Paia, we got a delicious breakfast! This is something you shouldn't miss. There's also a small giftshop at the top . Make sure to stop and support the park!

Worth getting up early
It was more than worth getting up early—Corry, the entertaining tour guide, shared lots of interesting information; we stopped along the way to take in the view of the Milky Way; the sunrise was spectacular; and breakfast—especially the egg wrap—is highly recommended.

Sunrise Recommended
The experience was excellent. The guide, Corey, was phenomenal. I’d highly recommend. The bus picked us up right at the hotel making it convenient. The guide Corey was so personable, knowledgeable, and had a great sense of humor even early in the morning. He made the experience one where I could learn from and have a great time along the way. He shared facts about the area and journey. The sunrise was so perfect and could not be better. The breakfast included was at a cool restaurant in Paia making it feel more special.

Great guides!
You can’t miss the sunrise at Haleakalā! Keoni was THE BEST guide. He gave us a perfect mix of history and humor, and brought us to the best spots. Even after the company messed up our pickup he drove back to get us out of the way. Our entire group besides us was on a bike tour down the volcano, so just beware that seems to be the more popular choice. We effectively had a personal tour, which was still great since our group all biked. If you are not interested in biking this is great - no regrets about not biking.
