What travelers are saying
This was a fantastic tour. It was a bit of an early start, but the view and experience was definitely worth it. I highly recommend to do the sunrise tour. Also, Skyline did a great job and was very informative.
Stunning view of the stars before the beautiful sunrise! Up very early but worth every minute. Tour guide gave a history tour while driving which was helpful to understand more about Maui.
My husband and I had such a great time on this tour! Our guide, Bill, and everyone on the tour followed COVID procedures, so we felt safe the whole time. Our guide was also super knowledgeable about the Haleakala, Maui, the wildlife - everything! He even helped us get some amazing footage of the sunrise. The breakfast stop after the tour was also great. Highly recommend!
