An experience almost too magical for words.
This was the perfect romantic sunset experience. The views were incredible. Vic is an amazing guide, I'd hire him for any type of Maui tour. A great and knowledge guide who got us in the absolute best spot to witness the sunset. He promptly answered any questions we had before the tour. We asked about what to wear in advanced and he provided us with hoodies and a warm blanket to watch a magical sunset. Vic took many photos throughout the experience for us so we could focus on watching the sunset with each other. Vic is an extremely good/safe driver. He knew so much about Maui. I'd book him again for any kind of tour on the island. I firmly believe this is the best Haleakala Private Sunset Tour you can book. I would recommend this tour to anyone going to Maui. You'll remember it for the rest of your life.

Thank you so much for this incredible review! 🙏🏾 It truly means a lot to me to hear that your Haleakalā sunset experience was such a special and romantic part of your Maui trip.
I’m so glad you enjoyed the views and that the hoodies and warm blanket helped keep you comfortable up at the summit. 🌋 🌅❄️ It was a pleasure taking care of the little details so you guys could simply relax, enjoy the sunset together, and make memories without having to worry about anything. 🙏🏾
Thank you for your kind words about my driving, knowledge of Maui, and the photos. I’m always happy to capture those special moments so my guests can stay present and enjoy the moment 🙏🏾
It was truly a pleasure having you both, and I would love to show you guys more of Maui on your next visit . Until then, I hope the memories from that magical Haleakalā sunset stay with you for many years to come.
Mahalo nui loa! 🤙🏾

The absolute highlight of a great Maui trip.
I have traveled many places with tour guides, NONE have been as good as Vic. I would consider booking him for anything on Maui. However, this tour was absolutely incredible. The tour was the number highlight of my girlfriend and I's trip to Maui. Before the tour, I inquired about what to wear as we did not pack anything for cold weather on Maui. Vic was ready with 2 hoodies and a warm blanket. The tour started with him picking us up at our hotel. Immediately he provided us with his mother's incredible homemade banana bread and offered us beverages. We then began the drive, throughout the drive he pointed out interesting things along the way. His driving was A+. Multiple times we got out and he took pictures for us at incredibly scenic spots. Eventually, Vic got us to the summit in a great parking spot. He then helped us to the perfect spot to view the sunset, protected from the wind by rocks. Again, he took more photos for us while we prepared to watch an incredible sunset. The view was unlike anything I'd seen before. Despite his excellent photography, I still felt compelled to snap a few pictures with my phone. As some groups started to leave, Vic said just wait because the colors are only going to get better. I am glad we did, photos do not do the sunset justice. The experience was absolutely magical. After all was said and done, I felt lucky to have booked with him. I truly believe this is the best sunset tour and guide you could possibly find on Maui. Anything we needed help with, he was able to assist. He has a great sense of humor and a perfect laid back vibe. More importantly, he is a good person. The next time I am fortunate enough to visit Maui, I will absolutely book with him/Aloha Wild Tours again. I cannot stress how great of a local guide Vic was. A couple days later, he sent us a video of different moments he recorded set to perfect music. I'll always treasure that video of my girlfriend and I from the sunset tour. If you book this tour, you will be treated with the best views of your life and learn a lot about Maui. It was more than just a tour, in the end we made a good friend while seeing the best sunset of our lives. If you are still reading this, stop and book your tour already. You will not regret it.

Thank you so much for taking the time to write such an incredible review! 🙏🏽🌺 It truly means the world to me.
I’m so happy that you and your girlfriend enjoyed the experience and that Haleakalā gave you a sunset you’ll never forget. 🌅 It was my pleasure to make sure you were warm, comfortable, and had the best possible spots to enjoy the views and of course, I’m glad you enjoyed my mom’s banana bread! 😊🙏🏾
One of my favorite parts of being a local guide is being able to share not just the beautiful places of Maui, but also the aloha spirit and little personal touches that make the experience special.
And I’m especially happy you enjoyed the photos and the video. I love capturing those moments so you can take a little piece of Maui home with you. ❤️
It was truly a pleasure spending the evening with you both, and I’m grateful that you trusted me with such a special part of your Maui vacation. I hope to see you guys again on your next visit! Until then, mahalo nui loa and aloha! & Much Love 🌸🙏🏾

Haleakala Memorial Triip
Victor was exceptionally gracious and supportive throughout the trip. This was a very private, special and emotional trip up to the top of Haleakala for me as a part of a celebration of my parents lives and memorial prior to putting their ashes in the sea at sunrise on Sunday.

Amazing Haleakala Tour!
What a great experience! Victor is an awesome tour guide, and he made the trip so memorable and fun!
Haleakala at sunset is absolutely worth doing. The views are just stunningly beautiful. It's definitely one of the highlights of our trip. Looking down on the clouds and out into the expanse of Maui is something I'm so grateful I could share with my son.
Along with the majesty of this park, it was great to hear all the additional knowledge Victor had to share. Doing tours in this way is 100% worth it when you have a great guide. You get to relax and take in all the scenery, and you learn so much more than you would on your own. Recommended!

Mahalo from the bottom of my heart, Stuart. Reading your review truly made my day. One of the best parts of what I do is getting to meet wonderful people like yourself and helping create memories that will last a life time Knowing that you were able to share such a special moment and memory at Haleakalā with your son means more to me than I can put into words. Thank you for trusting me to be part of your family’s vacation and for your incredibly kind words. It was an honor to share not only the beauty of Haleakalā but also the stories, history, and aloha that make this island so special.
I sincerely appreciate and thank you 🙏🏾 hope Maui brings you and your son back again soon. Until then, I wish you both safe travels, many more unforgettable adventures together, and memories that last a lifetime. Mahalo nui loa and aloha! 🌺 😎🤙🏾

Excellent trip to the clouds (Hakeakla Private Sunset Tour)
It was wonderful. It ended up being a solo trip (I thought there might be a few more joining us) which allowed a personal experience with Victor. He made sure I was aware of the landscape and helped me in terms of accessibility (which I appreciate). The experience at the bottom (top) of the crater was unforgettable and I appreciate how knowledgeable and flexible Victor was with my questions.
Operator response
Mahalo for sharing this 🤙🏽
We’re really grateful you trusted us with your day, especially going solo. That kind of personal experience is something special, and we’re glad Victor was able to make it feel comfortable, flexible, and informative for you throughout.
We’re especially happy to hear the accessibility support helped you enjoy the landscape with ease that matters a lot to us, and we always want everyone to feel included and supported while experiencing Maui 🌺
And that crater experience really is unforgettable up there the views and energy are something you don’t forget. We’re glad Victor could share that with you and answer all your questions along the way.
Wishing you safe travels and many more amazing adventures ahead. Hope to see you back on island again aloha 🤙🏾

Book this now!
This was the most incredible tour I did in Maui. The views from Haleakala are stunning, but it really was Victor who just made it such a special experience. Victor is a local to Maui and provided a thorough history lesson as we were driving up the summit. He knew the ins and outs of the road and of the summit itself, taking me through small hikes that provided unparalleled views of Maui and even the volcano in the Big Island. He even hikes down a bit for me when my eating fell, he retrieved it in one piece! His company, friendship, and kindness completed my trip to Maui, and I can’t wait to cross paths again with Victor.
