Your Itinerary

Paia

We will start the tour in Paia town where I will drive you through the town explaining some history and doing some people watching.

Kula

We will stop at the world famous Kula lodge. The views are amazing and there are usually some Jackson chameleons hanging out on the Avocado trees. This is the last stop for any food or beverage before sunset. The ladies here can be cranky and it’s always fun to see what kind of cynical comments they have for the crowd.

Haleakala Crater

We have arrived at the crate. The crater is 26 miles in diameter. You could just fit Manhattan inside of it. On a good day you can see every island except Kauai. Temperatures can be cool here but have no fear I have gear if needed. Some nights jackets and wind pants make for a more comfortable viewing of Sunset. I will take many photos and videos for you to enjoy later. We will head down at Sunset and have incredible views of the sun going down as we drop 10000ft.

Admission Included

Haleakala National Park

Second stop is at 7000 ft and this is where we can change into some gear. There is a ranger station here and some Nene nest here as well. There is a small garden of Silversword here as well and restrooms.

This one is hard to rate. The sunset was gorgeous - stunning, actually, and we had a great spot to view it, pretty much all our own. I’d give that 5 stars. Our tour guide, on the other hand, wasn’t so great. We learned more about Terry and his life and adventures than about the crater or the island. And he was quite a name dropper. The piece de resistance was when he said he had “sold a used tractor to Lawrence Welk’s cousin.” Plus he drove like a banshee down the mountain, cutting corners and going too fast for the curves. The tour itself is worth it, just watch who’s driving.

Fun trip, great views of the sunset, mild weather and had good time with the group. Terry was a fun guide, very knowledgeable .

We used Maui Hoppin to see sunset atop Haleakea. Our guide was very informative, showed us many points of interest and telling us how things came to be, both past and recent history. They provided drinks, snacks, warm jackets and blankets. Based on this tour, I would recommend Maui Hoppin for any of their island tours.

Great time. Shannon was an excellent guide. Very knowledge, as well as fun to talk with and entertaining. Small group so things were flexible and she was totally willing to go with the flow and adjust as needed. Gave us all ideas on how to take the best photos. Drinks and simple snacks provided were appreciated.

We were drawn to this tour because it offered a more private opportunity to explore Haleakala as opposed to doing so with a bus full of other people. Shannon, our guide, was very personable and a delight to spend time with. Her knowledge of the area was extensive, and we came away learning so much about area. Although it was an overcast evening, it was still worth the drive up to the top to experience the expansive view from 10,000 feet. The higher up you go, the cooler and windier it gets. While we planned for this, our guide had warm jackets if additional layers were needed. At the end of the tour, the drop-off directly at the Pride of America pier was greatly appreciated.

I am loathe to post a negative review but I honestly feel that this tour was NOT worth the money. We did not have Erik as our guide so perhaps that would have made a difference. Shannon was very nice and personable. However, we were cramped into the third row of a minivan (and my husband is a big man), there was not a lot of information provided and we received very few photos (multiple copies of us in 3 locations all at the one stop on Haleakala). The snacks provided were bags of potato chips, nothing special. I texted a few times asking for more photos and did receive a few more of the view from where we stopped but I also asked for the video that was supposed to be included and I got a video from someone else's tour with photos of my husband and I spliced in. There were only 4 people on our tour and the video shows other people who were not with us. Overall, very disappointing considering the cost. We definitely could have done this on our own and saved the money.

Our tour with Marko was great! He was very friendly and full of information about the island and great tips on places to visit/things to do. It was pretty chilly at the top and he came well prepared with warm gear and chairs to make us comfortable. He took lots of pictures for us and also brought snacks and drinks and even some homemade candied pecans which were delicious. And the view from the top was nothing short of amazing!

MaryAnne_L

Awesome views! Enjoyed it so much! Great tour guide! Very cold and windy but views were amazing! Our tour guide had awesome coats for us too!!

I highly recommend this personalized sunset tour of Haleakala for families. First, there was a misunderstanding around where our pickup would be, and Erik arranged to have my family picked up at our hotel. The car we drove in had enough room for 7 people, although we were only 5 (2 adults and 3 kids). Erik told us about the history of Maui and the mountain on the ascent and very patiently and enthusiastically answered all of my kids questions. He took us on some hidden paths where we could take great photos and worked hard to ensure we got great shots (e.g., no shadows). The drinks and snacks provided in the car were a nice touch as well. And although we didn't need it because it didn't get too cold the day we went, Erik was prepared with blankets for anyone who may have been underdressed. I preferred this option over the sunrise because we didn't need to wake up at 3am. Instead, we left our hotel at 3pm and were driven back to the hotel by 8pm. Overall, this was my kids' favorite part of our Hawaii trip. It's such a unique experience. And Erik was very nice, funny, knowledgeable, safe-driving, and professional. I highly recommend this option as a better (and likely less expensive) alternative to the group tours booked through the hotels.
