Haleakala National Park Sunrise Sightseeing Tour with Breakfast & Transportation

Amazing honeymoon experience

Reviewed by: MrsMoralee, 2022/05/21

I searched all the available tours for the sunrise at Haleakala and found this one wounded the best suited for me and I was not disappointed. We were able to be picked up from our hotel (Hyatt regency on the west side of the island) which was a huge help as me and my husband do not drive. Everyone was friendly and helpful. Our driver was Chris who was a huge credit to the tour, was very welcoming. He took the time to ask different groups and couples where they were from and bonded with us. The summit was incredible, you couldn’t believe how high up you were! It does get cold up there but coming from England it was like being back home (so do dress up warm and change later for the towns). Although it was a cloudy sunrise, the experience was still amazing with all the knowledge Chris gave and offering to take amazing photos for us all. It may be a once in a lifetime experience but we still would want to do it all again.

Haleakala National Park Sunrise Sightseeing Tour with Breakfast & Transportation

Weird tour for me

Reviewed by: Mayor Mabry, 2022/04/16

On the ride to the summit, we stopped for everyone to be fitted with bicycles and gear. I signed up for a tour. The sunrise at the summit was phenomenal. The ride down however was a bit uncomfortable because I was the only one on the bus. We were mainly watching the bikers, making sure they got down the mountain safely. We stopped in two towns where Rory let me get off and walk around, but it wasnt much of a tour.....it was a bus ride to the sunrise and back. It's not what I paid for but I did get to see the sunrise. Also, my friend was suppose to go but got sick as we left the motel. Eddie was the driver to the summit and had to stop for her. Luckily we hadnt gone far so he returned her to the motel and I did the 'tour' on my own. Rory was the driver coming down and he was great doing what he was supposed to do. I tried to get a refund for my friend to no avail. They said she must have a dr note. Since she wasnt sick enough to go to the dr, she lost her money. It was a beautiful sunrise but all in all I was disappointing in the day. Make sure if you want a tour, you aren't going with bikers. The description did not make that clear.

Spectacular Haleakala Sunrise Tour with Park Admission & Breakfast at Mill House

Preston is an absolute asset!

Reviewed by: Angelina23, 2022/04/06

Preston has to be the most amazing tour guide I've ever had the privilege of touring with! From being knowledgeable, to witty, he's got it all. He wants to ensure that EVERYONE no matter what season it is layers up, wears clothes toed shoes (toe warmers like the ones used in Tahoe would be the best idea ever!) and BRING A BLANKET! Whatever size you want, fluffy, non fluffy donuts matter. But, this awesome tour guide lets you leave you items safely on the bus so all your have to comfortable carry the very few far steps you actually have to walk, is the blanket and your camera for beautiful views. Keep your positive attitude when waking early, plan ahead with an energy drink or snack to keep you going until you reach to Kula Lodge (TRY THE LOCO MOCO JUST TRUST ME) and you'll be good to go!

Maui All Stars Stargazing Tour & Haleakala National Park Sunset Experience

A MUST-DO ACTIVITY!

Reviewed by: Shooee, 2022/03/29

Yamauchi-san's tour was absolutely amazing. He was so courteous and professional. He also took so many good, creative pictures of us and he is very talented. We enjoyed his company and tour. It ended up being the most favorite activity during our entire trip. Who knew an astronomy tour could be so fascinating? A must-go tour in Maui!

  • Sunset is more beautiful than sunrise because of pollution in the air.

  • The stars look so much closer than I ever thought they would be!

Haleakala National Park Sunrise Sightseeing Tour with Breakfast & Transportation

Our guide, Dan was great!

Reviewed by: Boxergrandma101, 2022/02/11

We (4 adults) booked the Classic Daytime Hakeakala tour several weeks in advance. About 15 hours before the start of the tour we received a call indicating that the tour was cancelled, then an hour later we were contacted informing us that they worked out their problem and the tour would go as scheduled. We truly appreciated the pick-up and drop-off at our Lahaina resort. The four of us were combined with a bike group so some of our tour time was spent listening to their instructions and safety review. We all went to the crater summit together, absolutely beautiful, however, in order to get the bike riders to their starting point on time we did not have enough time to go into the Visitors Center to learn more about Hakeakala. After the bikers were dropped off we thought we would be stopping in some of the towns we were passing through - especially Paia, but we made only one stop in Makawao, returning back to our resort much earlier than we had expected based on the listed tour duration. While we were pleased with what we were able to see, we felt we did not get the full Classic tour. Our guide, Dan, was very knowledgable about the geography, culture, myths/stories of Hawaii, geology, plant life and origins of the areas through which we passed.

Unforgettable Sunrise!!!

Reviewed by: Catherine, 2021/12/11

My partner and I had a wonderful time visiting Haleakala national park! The breakfast was okay, continental option. It was surprisingly cold so pack an extra jacket for your stay. But it truly was an unforgettable experience, I know I will have to return and share this with my children as well one day.

Maui All Stars Stargazing Tour & Haleakala National Park Sunset Experience

Amazing experience!

Reviewed by: Sam, 2021/10/04

We were fortunate enough to have had a new moon and clear sky up on Haleakalā back in September. We had breathtaking views of Milky Way, Venus, Jupiter, Saturn, the Andromeda galaxy, and much more thanks to our amazing guide, Yoshi! Yoshi brought us a box of donuts and served us hot tea throughout the night. We were a bit fearful of driving down from the summit in the dark, but Yoshi led the way and made us feel very safe. This was easily one of our most memorable experiences during our visit to Maui and highly recommend it!

Haleakala National Park Sunset Tour Experience - Polynesian Adventure

Awesome Experience!

Reviewed by: Lindsay , 2021/09/27

Really memorable experience! Driver/guide was very accommodating, polite, knowledgeable, and had a great sense of humor! Word of advice for attendees- bring motion sickness medicine and take in advance! Very winding road going up and coming down, elevation makes it worse and people who typically do not get motion sick got motion sick! Tour guide had ginger chews, and barf bags, which helped, but wish I had remembered my Dramamine! The summit was absolutely breathtaking and we stopped at every cool place to take pictures! They had us stop at a perfect little shop to buy snacks and souvenirs and it was by far my favorite shop from the whole trip! Lots of Hawaii home grown products! Would recommend this tour 100%!

Maui All Stars Stargazing Tour & Haleakala National Park Sunset Experience

Absolutely amazing!

Reviewed by: Jenny, 2021/09/20

This was one of the highlights of our trip to Maui! First you get to drive up 10k feet up Haleakala and view amazing landscapes, be above the clouds and then watch the sunset. Guide, Yoshi (not sure if spelling correctly) was amazing! Has been doing this tour for 20 years. Very laid back, knowledgeable, and offers up various spots for photos. He has very good equipment for star gazing. He sets everything up, provides winter jackets and even coffee and tea. We got to see Jupiter, Saturn, Venus, Andromeda galaxy and much more. Would recommend to anyone! We spent about 1 hour of the tour star gazing and other tours were already gone while we were still up there. Absolutely amazing!

Maui Haleakala Helicopter Tour with Road to Hana Sightseeing & Beachside Lunch

Great Excursion

Reviewed by: Michael W, 2021/08/28

This is the way to do the Road to Hana. We did the late trip, meeting at the airport at 10:45am. We flew out at 11:30, landing in Hana just after 12. The flight was spectacular and our pilot was knowledgable and personable without being overwhelming.

We landed and met our driver who took us to the park for a great lunch. Our driver was exceptional and we learned a lot on our trip back.

I've done this as drive out and back, but the flight followed by the drive is the way to go.

Wonderful day on Haleakala

Reviewed by: Jennifer Weigel, 2021/08/11

Wonderful experience. We were told to book early for any tours that we wanted to do while in Maui. We thought Haleakala was off the table because we could not find a sunrise tour. Fortunately I kept looking and found this sunset tour. Even better, didn’t have to wake up before 2 AM. Bonus. Kama our tour guide was wonderful and had lots of great information about the mountain and it’s rare plant life as well as tips for the rest of our trip. He treated us like we were family. I would highly recommend this tour.

Maui All Stars Stargazing Tour & Haleakala National Park Sunset Experience

Amazin Experience!

Reviewed by: Tirupati, 2021/08/07

Most people do the sunrise, but I would have to argue the sunset tour lives up close to the the sunrise. The stargazing was amazingly clear on our tour! The guides know what to present and really give some awesome detail of the history of Haleakala. We had a 5 year old and she loved the experience of being so close to the night sky above. I would recommend dressing warm, for you may get hot when the sun is setting but won't regret it at night, it definitely gets cold up there!
Also, BRING FOOD. They are not lieing, it is a long night ahead of you and you will be definitely sad if you get hungry because not much is open once the tour is done.

As part of our 25th anniversary week in Maui we booked this early morning excursion. It certainly did not disappoint. The tour guides were informative and courteous. They took us to the best spot for the sunrise, got a great action shot of us “jumping off” The side of the volcano.
We were given great instructions as to how to get back to the bike shop. We had a nice time leisurely coming down. Stopped at a really nice spot for breakfast then proceeded into the town did some shopping grab a snack at the bakery and got back to the shop in plenty of time.
