Haleakala is known for rapidly changing weather conditions and dense clouds and rain are common. As a result, clear viewing of the sunrise is not guaranteed, and the tour operates rain or shine. Refunds will be granted only when the tour is cancelled for safety reasons.
The high altitude at the summit area may complicate health conditions and breathing difficulties. Elderly visitors, pregnant women, young children, and those with respiratory or heart conditions should consult their doctor prior to touring. Walk slowly and drink water to avoid dehydration.

The tour guide was knowledgable, the van was comfortable. It was fun to see the volcano and learn about what I was seeing.

This was an enjoyable trip, but there is a lot of driving on winding roads to reach the crater. The views are amazing, but be aware that the weather is changeable and there is a risk of low clouds, which means no views. I would recommend skipping the meal during the lunch stop and strolling through the small town shops. One negative: the thirty minute stop in the Iao Valley is not long enough.

Everything was super good and on time.
The tour is very worth it, Haleakala is beautiful and the Valley too
