What To Expect

Haleakala Crater

For those guests who prefer to start their day a little later, this is a great tour option! This exciting and informative tour begins with a guided vehicle tour of the Upcountry area followed by an amazing tour of Haleakala National Park. Guests will have the opportunity to learn about the unique Geology, Ecology, History, and Culture of Maui from our NAI Certified Interpretive Guides with a focus on Hawaiian values and preservation. Guests will also have an opportunity to visit the historic towns of Makawao and Pa’ia.

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.

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.

Michael was a knowledgeable guide and provided a unique experience throughout the day. The views at the summit were breathtaking, lunch in Paia was tasty and the venue had a great local vibe! The tour operator was accommodating and we were so grateful (it was our error!) Highly recommend! Mahalo!

We (4 adults) booked the Classic Daytime Hakeakala tour several weeks in advance. About 15 hours before the start of the tour we received a call indicating that the tour was cancelled, then an hour later we were contacted informing us that they worked out their problem and the tour would go as scheduled. We truly appreciated the pick-up and drop-off at our Lahaina resort. The four of us were combined with a bike group so some of our tour time was spent listening to their instructions and safety review. We all went to the crater summit together, absolutely beautiful, however, in order to get the bike riders to their starting point on time we did not have enough time to go into the Visitors Center to learn more about Hakeakala. After the bikers were dropped off we thought we would be stopping in some of the towns we were passing through - especially Paia, but we made only one stop in Makawao, returning back to our resort much earlier than we had expected based on the listed tour duration. While we were pleased with what we were able to see, we felt we did not get the full Classic tour. Our guide, Dan, was very knowledgable about the geography, culture, myths/stories of Hawaii, geology, plant life and origins of the areas through which we passed.

My favorite part was the journey to the destinations itself! From our perky pick up guy Cory, to the tale tellin jokster Eddy, to our ride guides Billy and Dean...and Billy's Oli (chant) at sunrise...they made the trip worth the money!! I am glad we did this early in the trip because this started our whole vacattion off to a great start. This team was the best, hands down, funniest and friendliness time I had on any tour!! They made the rest of the trip even better with all their recommendtions on local food, what apps to use, where to surf and park, what was worth your time and see.. the real deal. Listen to the locals and not Yelp thi time!! Your safety was their biggest concern! I highly recommend this group!! You feel like Ohana after the day ends! They totally take care of you!! Oh and when locals say don't do something.....don't!
