What To Expect

Haleakala National Park

Some call Haleakalā the Eighth Wonder of the World. Nowhere else can you climb from sea level to 10,023′ in less than an hour. At the summit, the 3,000′ deep crater you peer down into is 7 miles long, 2 miles wide, and 21 miles in circumference. Encounter the elegant Silversword plant, found nowhere else in the world as well as Hawaii’s state bird, the Nene goose. Haleakalā is home to hundreds of rare and endangered species of plants and animals. We are a licensed concessioner of Haleakala National Park and have direct access.

Paia

Today Pa’ia is a popular surf destination, however, Pa’ia’s history is as intriguing as it is fascinating. Learn about how the Sugar Plantations shaped this town and the culture of the island, and how this small north shore town was once a gathering place for entertainment and fun.

Kula

Maui’s rich farming and ranching history is still evident by the vast pastures that line the side of the mountain. Kula’s cool weather and rich volcanic soil make the area an ideal spot for a number of Lavender, Protea, and Macadamia Nut farms.

Makawao

The Hawaiian Cowboys or Paniolos have roots set deep in the town of Makawao. This small town still has hitching rails at storefronts just as the locals once used to tie up their horses.

Corey’s stories, the views, stargazing (we where fortunate to have a clear morning), and the banana nut bread French toast!

The tour was worth the early morning wake-up. I appreciated the jackets provided as the summit was quite cold. The sunrise was amazing and I appreciated the chanting to welcome the dawn. Since we got there early, we got to see a great night sky as well.

Rory was an entertaining driver. The sunrise was beautiful! It is expensive, but we didn't want to drive ourselves and it was a once in a lifetime experience. We arrived at the summit a couple of hours before sunrise. Seeing the stars so bright (from this urban girl's perspective!), and the colors in the sky as dawn was approaching were just as spectacular as the sunrise itself.
