This tour was the highlight of our trip, thanks to our wonderful and amazing guide, Katie.
1- This tour went exactly as described in the tour description and met all expectations.
2- Katie was a guide in a true sense of the word: she accompanied us on all hikes, carrying all the equipment we could possibly need (i.e. meeting all security protocols), and made sure nobody was left behind. On top of that, she didn't make us rush through our hikes, something that we experienced in other tours. In fact she provided constant encouragement during the hikes.
3- Tour started at a reasonable time: the best part of this tour was that unlike other Haleakala tours which started at 2 am, this one was offered at a much more reasonable time. We were able to get a good night's sleep prior to going for hikes the next morning.
Overall, my husband and I had a wonderful experience. Special thanks to Katie for making this experience so memorable for us!
