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

Invaluable for road to Hana

The guide is GPS triggered and gives commentary on things to do, see, and history. Extremely informative and entertaining. Made the trip much more interesting.

Do not do the road to Hana without this app. It's like having a personal tour guide without the cost. The best part is you get to go at your own pace...

Great tour, highly recommended. It was a little cheesy at times, but the info was timely, useful, accurate & entertaining. In Paia, the first instruction was to look for the alley to parking for a sandwich shop... and there it was! We were impressed. The rest of the trip continued the same way. Excellent, up-to-date info on things to see from the car, places to stop, places to eat, amount of time things will take, etc. I can't imagine doing Road to Hana without it. Great history too!

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...

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.
