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.

Had a phenomenal time. Eddie Buddy was absolutely fantastic and fun and being there for the sunrise was nothing short of magical. People wouldn’t stop talking really loudly through it, but they were from a cruise and that’s not this tour’s fault.

Woke up early for the Haleakala sunrise tour with Marlin - he was very informative and had some really good recommendations. Loved his tour and this was the best way for us to see the sunrise, drive to the meet up spot in Haiku (we opted not for the hotel pickup) and not lose an entire day. Marlin was awesome! We got there in time to see the awesome colors in the sky, watched the sunrise, he took us to another lookout spot, then headed back down. We stopped for breakfast in Makawao which was a really cute ecclectic town and gave us the option of a sitdown breakfast or coffee and pastries from an amazing bakery. The group (11-14 of us total) had the autonomy to determine how long we would spend in the town before returning to the meet up point! This worked out really well and glad we had the tour and Marlin to share so much Hawaii history!

We did the Road to Hana today and our tour guide/driver was David and he was excellent! He went above and beyond to make sure we had a great time. He is very knowledgeable and so happy to have him as our guide today!
