About The Tour

A sunset atop Haleakala — known as house of the sun in Hawaiian — is pure magic.

You’ll be walking on sunshine, that is of course until the stars come out. Then, weather permitting, you’ll behold some of the best stargazing in the world. You'll be so close to the stars you'll swear you can touch them!

Here are just a few of the fun things you can do on the tour!

•⁠ Watch the sunset atop Mt. Haleakala
•⁠ Look for constellations at Haleakala's summit
•⁠ Hike the Hosmer Grove or Sliding Sands trails
•⁠ Visit a lavender or dairy farm
•⁠ Walk through historic Makawao Town

Like having a local tour guide that doesn’t take up a seat!

We did the Maui full loop tour. The tour guide was engaging, gave lots of great local tips and history. There were tons of places to stop and the narrator gave pros and cons because you couldn’t stop at every single one and make it in a day. We made lots of little stops and then a nice long picnic lunch break at Hāna Bay. I appreciated the heads up about the rough roads on the second half of the tour. The roads are listed as “narrow and some dirt roads,” but I would say it’s more like a couple miles of gravel roads. Really not any more precarious than the first half. The main thing is to take the corners slowly because most of them are blind and you don’t know if somebody’s coming around. The narrator reminds you to be thoughtful about locals and drive safely. I think the biggest driving hazard is other tourists as these roads are unfamiliar to us. For the most part, the narrative tracked us really well via GPS, very impressive considering there are lots of areas with no signal, so obviously download it first. It was totally worth the $20 we spent and I will look for these tours other places we visit. Thanks!

Absolutely perfect tour

The best feature of our Hawaiian vacation! Guided us to see all the major spots. While we researched sites to see, the Shaka guide is like no other and provides you with assurance of what to see, when to see it, eats, bathrooms and the best part is a history of the island! Cannot go wrong by using the Shaka guide to plan your vacation days! Used road to Hana guide and then immediately bought the bundle for our trip to Big Island! How perfect to enjoy take in the island while not being worried about direction or planning!

Excellent guide. The stories were fabulous. I highly recommend the Classic Road to Hana guide. We would have missed so much of we didn't have the guide.

Do you need a reservation for Haleakala Sunset?

No, reservations are not required for sunset at Haleakala. If you’re unable to get sunrise reservations no worries! Just download our sunset tour and stay to watch the sun go down!

What to wear to the Haleakala sunset?

Dress warmly in layers for the Haleakala sunset. Temperatures drop significantly in the park, especially at high altitudes. We recommend you bring a jacket, hat, gloves, and blankets. You’ll also want to bring water and snacks.

Is Maui open following the recent fires?

Yes, but it depends on where you go. West Maui, including Lahaina, Nāpili, Kāʻanapali, and Kapalua is currently closed to visitors through mid-October. You can visit other parts of Maui including Haleakala National Park. Please be respectful on yo...

What is an Audio Tour Guide?

Think of us as your personal tour guide in an app. Our tours provide everything a guided tour does, but with the freedom to explore on your terms. Here’s how it works:

  • GPS triggers audio narration to play automatically as you drive or walk.
  • Listen to stories, get local insights, visit must-see stops and get turn-by-turn navigation.

Yes! Feel free to join the tour along the route. Just make sure that you follow the numbers in chronological order from where you are starting from. If you don’t begin at one of the tour starting points you’ll miss a few stories, but you’ll still have a great experience.

No, the tour starts and ends in Kahului. If you’d like to begin this tour at Haleakala National Park you can join the tour along the route, but you’ll miss out on some stories.

It depends on the time of year, but sunset in the winter (October-March) is between 5:30 p.m. and 6:15 p.m. and in the summer (April-September) it’s between 5:30 p.m. and 6:30 p.m. We recommend you double check the night before your visit.

Please note, if you’re staying in West Maui at one of the resorts in Lahaina, Kaanapali or Kapalua it takes about 45 minutes to reach the start of the tour in Kahului and then, depending on the stops you make, it takes about 2-3 hours to reach the summit. This tour is designed with no stops on the way back with the expectation you’ll be driving at night.
