TOUR HIGHLIGHTS
A visit to Maui is not complete without experiencing Haleakala Crater—a magnificent amphitheater of silence, and a place of beauty that always evokes awe. Our crater tour offers an adventure through two very different environments high up on this dormant volcano. On a clear day, it seems you can see forever.
MORE INFORMATION
Hike into both sides of Haleakala; each environment is very different from the other, so both should be experienced to gain a true appreciation for this natural phenomenon. Two-mile hike at the 10,000-foot summit where huge cinder cones dominate the desert-like, expansive scenery. Another two-mile hike at 8,000 ft. on a lava trail lined with rare native plant species. Views stretch for miles in all directions. Nutritious lunch and snacks included.
DIFFICULTY RATING: Challenging—More demanding due to rugged terrain at significant elevation, total miles covered, elevation loss/gain, and length of time in the van.
- 8:30am – 3:30pm from our Kahului Park & Ride meeting location.
