This experience was everything I was told it would be - unbelievably beautiful! Make sure you have plenty of items to keep you warm, though. I would recommend this tour to anyone visiting Maui!

The ride was a lot smoother than I expected. We stoped at the store before heading up to get water, ginger and snacks. Then we headed up the mountain. Make sure you bring a hat and gloves the wind was something else. I wish I would have had another camera to do a time lapse video. Drive down was great as well. Breakfast at the Mill House was fresh and tasty.

This tour did not disappoint! Kaneala, our tour guide was punctual, personable, accommodating and informative. We could not have asked for a better experience and sunrise at the top of Haleakala. Beautiful memories were made that our family will always cherish. Thank you Polynesian Adventure for a job well done!!

Driver had an amazing knowledge of everything involved. The crater was great and sunrise was phenomenal and guide said it was about a 7.5 out of 10 grade. 10 must truly be unbelievable.

Was picked up in front of resort by bus to go to volcano top / mountain. Dink our tour guide was very respectful and let everyone sleep to start because we were picked up at 250 am. About 30 mi uses out he gave clear instructions and everyone got off vehicle for tour. It was very cold and extremely breezy with winds at about 40 moh and 40 degrees with wind chill. We waited for about 50 minutes for total sunrise that was beautiful with clear sky and noted being above clouds since you are at visitor center just below 10000 feet. Afterwards we went to go have breakfast and Dino gave extensive history information about everything around area and the islands to include answering all questions.

The views were amazing. Although at times it was very very cold because of the wind. No one tells you about the wind! Definitely bring a winter hat, gloves, and a winter jacket. I had a short sleeve shirt on, a long sleeve and a light hoodie. Jeans and tennis shoes. It was NOT enough because of the wind. This was June 2024. Despite the freezing wind the tour was and views were worth it! We stopped at a couple of places down the mountain to take pictures too.
