Description

Greeting the sunrise in Haleakala National Park ranks among the most popular activities on Maui. Witness what might be the most breathtaking sunrise on Earth with the guidance of professional, local experts on the Haleakala Sunrise Tour.

For nearly 150 years, visitors to Maui have ascended Haleakala to witness the marvel attributed to the demi-god Maui. However, over a millennium before these early explorers, Haleakala was revered as sacred by the Hawaiians. Known as wao akua, or “realm of the gods,” the summit of Haleakala was approached only when absolutely necessary and solely by specific individuals such as kapuna (“priests”). Discover the unique significance and purpose of Haleakala’s animals, plants, and rocks.

Join as they delve into the narratives of this mystical land. Be inspired by the park’s landscape and immerse oneself in the sacredness of Haleakala’s summit.
