Such a beautiful evening. One minute your so disappointed because its cloudy and raining but then as soon as the sun begins to set the most amazing sun set. Being so high and seeing the cloud base below you was a truly magical experience especially for my kiddo, she was almost lost for words. I am so glad I did not do the drive myself. Our driver was informative, fun, and we felt safe with his careful driving up and down the volcano. I see myself as a very respectful tourist and I have to say I am sick to death of picking up rubbish, trash left behind by tourists who just don’t care. My daughter and I have filled two trash bags of rubbish during our trip to Hawaii on beaches, nature reserves, in the sea, and top of this amazing Volcano. It really is not difficult to take your trash to bin.

It was amazing our driver preston was the best!
Had a terrific time up there, Preston did a terrific job giving us great information about all different kinds of stars , planets , the history of Hawaii, etc. It is also very affordable, it was a nice surprise when I saw the initial admission fee :) A beautiful atmosphere with the group and had the best time, it truly is worth waking up at 1:30 am :)))
Thank you for the great review! We’re glad you had such a memorable experience and appreciate your kind words about Preston!
The sunset was beautiful and the tour guide was friendly overall it was a nice experience. Make sure to wear warm clothes
We took a tour thru Polynesian Adventure to see the sunset at Haleakala. We chose not to have a car on this trip so we did everything thru tour companies. Our bus was late picking us up but when I called, they gave me an update. We met another tour bus at a shopping area to switch drivers/meet other passengers. The shopping area was nice and I wish we were able to spend more time there. The driver was friendly and informative. You can take a lot of good pictures on the way from the bus. We stopped at one of the main signs for a photo op. Bring warmer clothes to put on when you get there as the temp drops. I read that it’s colder for sunrise compared to sunset. I recommend sunset for that reason and for more picture taking as the ride up to summit would be in the dark if you go for sunrise, and you are getting up really early. Also, warm clothes take up room in your suitcase. Dinner was included in the price (sandwich or salad). The driver also had warm drinks once we got there and cookies. The dinner is passed out once you get to the top of the summit – you are supposed to eat on the bus as food is not permitted in the park. I think it would have been nice if we had a different stop to eat at. Once you get to the summit you have limited time and eating felt rushed. You can go to the very top (another .5 miles by walking 2 different path choices). We chose not to do that due to feeling rushed and the altitude change can cause breathing issues. We took many great pictures without walking to the top – this was one of my favorite excursions of the trip. For the folks that drive, parking is limited and you could be turned away. Also, you will have a long drive down in the dark. It was nice having a tour driver worry about this drive. I would recommend this tour group. My main suggestions for improvement is to allow more time at the top of the summit and have a different stop to eat dinner.
Saved the best for last. This is our last excursions before heading home. Sale was an awesome tour guide. I want to come back with friends and do the tour again with him!! He was enriched with so much history which mad the trip even more memorable.
We waited over one hour for the sunset. We could have gotten there 30 minutes before sunset and spent more time at the first stop which looked very nice. Additionally, previous bus tours I’ve taken had a guide that wasn’t also the driver. I question the safety of the driver giving the tour when he should give full attention to driving. Also, the driver/guide was very nice but his English was often difficult to understand.
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We're glad to hear you found your driver-guide friendly and appreciate your comments regarding the pacing of the tour and overall experience. Guest feedback helps us evaluate and improve our tours, and your observations will be shared with our team. Mahalo.
Our drivers were friendly and knowledgeable. It was cloudy when we got up but the clouds broke just as we were leaving so we got a nice sunset shot.
Unfortunately cloud cover so couldn’t see anything of interest no crater, sunset or anything else of interest
Thank you for sharing your experience. We understand how disappointing weather conditions at Haleakala can be when visibility is limited. We appreciate you joining us and hope you still enjoyed parts of the evening. Mahalo.
Our tour guide(Al Pacino) is great. He’s very knowledgeable. We have enough time to eat our dinner and enjoy the sunset. The sunset is awesome!
