Overview

Witness the dawning of a new day atop Haleakala (the house of the sun) a dormant volcanic mountain overlooking Maui on the east side. Deep canyons and slopes and unspoiled terrain are home to endemic Hawaiian Nene geese and rare Silversword plants.

You'll be transported in a comfortable mini coach to 9,740 feet elevation, close to the summit to witness the ultimate sunrise; a spectacular show of lights and colors. The sunrise tour is an unforgettable experience and a definite must-do on your Hawaii vacation. On the descent, marvel at sprawling scenic views of Kula and the Pacific Ocean on your way to breakfast at local favorite, Mill House Restaurant in Waikapu.

My wife and I had a great time seeing the sunrise from the top of Haleakala. The tour company was great and our guide Kaneala was awesome. He was a great driver on the crazy road up and down the mountain and he was very knowledgeable, attentive and entertaining. Breakfast at Cafe O’Lei was a great way to finish the morning. Bring warmer than you think you need clothing…it was 40 degrees and windy for us. Also bring snacks…you are picked up at 2:30 am and breakfast is at 8:30. Overall a great experience!

This was a punctual and easy way to see the sunrise. It’s something we really wanted to do and it can be difficult to get individual passes to access the sunrise on Haleakala. The breakfast was also very good at Tropical Plantation and there is a local market on site for some great shopping. I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 because going 7 hours without eating or coffee is difficult. You cannot eat or drink on the bus which is understandable. I don’t know how this could be improved upon but a little coffee station on the bus would have been amazing. I do recommend this method if you can’t obtain passes for the sunrise. Please take lots of warm clothes and ask your hotel for a blanket too!

It was amazing we had Preston as our tour guide and Melvin who was super nice to take us back. Breakfast options are 3 but good choices and luckily we got to see the sunrise.

Our driver/guide Preston was fabulous (witty, informative and he didn’t talk incessantly). We could not have asked for a more beautiful view and the breakfast was delicious. Highly recommend!

We were blessed with a clear sky. The sunrise was very epic and beautiful. Preston is amazing, very skilled in safely navigating a large vehicle along the road that goes from 0 feet to 10,000 feet in almost all weather conditions. The journey back down is very interesting with notes from history. 5 star experience!
