The Experience

What your day looks like

Experience essential Maui on this laid-back journey showcasing nature’s finery, historic landmarks, and charming country towns. Haleakala is truly magnificent in the daytime hours; its steep slopes bathed in sunlight and endemic wildlife freely roams the landscape. Leisurely observe Nene geese in their native habitat and discover the secret of the rare Silversword plant. Stop for a curated lunch at Hali’imaile General Store, to savor the flavors of Maui and enjoy a distillery tour.* After a short walk past a meandering stream through a forest bursting with native Hawaiian plant life, gaze high above at the iconic Iao Needle – a natural outcropping jutting from the mountainside. The needle is covered in emerald green vegetation and towers 1,200 feet over Iao Valley. Iao Valley is rich in history as a former ancient burial site for Hawaii’s royalty. *Guests under 21 must wait outside during tastings (15–20 minutes), and a valid photo ID is required.
