One of the most amazing sights and sought-after experiences in Maui is viewing the sunrise atop the summit area of Haleakala, “House of the Sun”. The other worldly landscape, altitude, unique flora, and pervasive influence of ancient Hawaiian culture combine to create an event simply beyond imagination.
Once at the summit and above the clouds, you will take in the stunning views of the rising sun. Upon descending from the dormant Maui volcano tour, enjoy a delicious local style breakfast at Kula Lodge with its upcountry hospitality and breathtaking views of the west Maui mountains before returning to your hotel.
Highlights Include
Haleakala National Park is home to over 1,000 different species of plant life. During the 38-mile drive to the summit area you will view the magnificent silver sword plant, found nowhere else on earth, and will pass ancient sacred locations, and breathtaking views from the safety and comfort of your vehicle
Ranger Station of the Park is at 7,000ft where a convenient rest top is taken, and visitor information is available.
The Maui Sunrise as it rises above the clouds is the climax of the morning. The unforgettable show of light and color bursting into view is a spiritual experience for many.
Haleakala Visitor Center, constructed in 1936, is a small stone structure on the edge of a cliff. Information, souvenirs, and more.
Breakfast included at Kula Lodge, a local favorite, where you and your newly found friends will enjoy a delicious meal together.
