Haleakala National Park
Enjoy an informative tour of Upcountry Maui, Haleakala National Park and a trip up to the summit. Admire views like no other in this world of the dormant crater as well as bicoastal views of Maui.
3
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.
4
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.
5
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.

Yes, it's really early and really an amazing sunrise! Pickup from hotels, or by pier for cruises, was efficient. Obviously, dark on the excursion there with steep and winding roads-- glad I was not driving. Our driver was overly talkative and comedic that early, but I didn't have coffee yet either. Stunning view with the locals Hawaiian prayer/song/chant making even more memorable.

Easy peasy way to see the sunrise! Michael picked up our family and friends right at the front door of our hotel, and navigated the switchbacks with ease. We all got a windbreaker to help with the cold, and we arrived on top of the mountain in time to have front-row position to see the awesome sunrise. Michael told many stories of the island history throughout the event. Be prepared for a LONG day - the trip took a full 10 hours, but it was definitely a must-do!

This is without question the best thing I did on Maui. Michael was the best tour guide. He gave us quiet time on the way up as it was the middle of the night. We got a few more winks of sleep before getting us to top in time to see the pre- sunrise show. He made sure we had a prime viewing location and the sunrise did not disappoint! It was a cold windy predawn so all the warnings to dress in layers for warmth were very much appreciated. On the trip down we stopped several times to see more spectacular views and learn more about the volcano and the history of Maui and Hawaii. Breakfast in Kula was good. My only regret is not taping Michael as he gave us the history during the drive down. I would do this again as each sunrise brings it’s own special colors.
