Amazing experience in Maui

Michael_C, Apr 2024

A must do in Maui despite early waking hours. Stunning views of the volcano and sunrise. The guides are exceptional. I would do the bike ride next time as well.

An essential Maui experience

JohnW_P, Apr 2024

Totally worth the early start, amazing sunrise views, Eddy was a great guide and host, very knowledgeable and a great sense of humor………No buddies left behind!

Prompt pickup....

Linda_S, Apr 2024

Prompt pickup. Comfortable bus. Knowledgeable guide. Spectacular views. Great breakfast included. We were lucky with the weather.

Company was very...

Lindsay_H, Mar 2024

Company was very disorganized on communication. We ended up having to switch vehicles 3 times and the last time we were just left in town without knowing when we would be picked up. At that point we were tired shouldnt have had to wait for transportation.

Response from Host, Mar 2024

Aloha and thank you for providing feedback on your experience with us, greatly appreciated. We apologize for the inconvenience and please give us a call and ask for a manager to discuss. Mahalo!

Fun , amazing and beautiful

Michael our guide was friendly and kept us entertained during the journey. Even with the unexpected delays he tried to make sure his "Ohana" was taken care of.

Leslie_B, Feb 2024

It was fantastic, we celebrated our 33rd anniversary. Our guide was really fun! He even took a special anniversary picture for us at the crater. I’m also so thankful they provided extra clothing to keep warm!

Response from Host, Mar 2024

Congratulations on your 33rd wedding anniversary! We're really happy that you spent the special day with us for an amazing sunrise atop Haleakala crater. Hopefully we'll see you again for your next anniversary. Mahalo!

Beautiful sunrise

MaryAnn_M, Jan 2024

Everything was beautiful! Our tour bus driver Cory was very friendly and funny. It was super windy and cold today. I think the winds were 50 miles per hour. Make sure to dress warm and bring gloves.

Response from Host, Mar 2024

Thank you so much for joining us for a beautiful, yet windy, morning up on Haleakala for sunrise! We're so happy to hear that Cory took great care of you and showed you a wonderful time. We would love to see you again the next time that you're on Maui. Mahalo!

Spectacular views....

Barry_K, Jan 2024

Spectacular views. Definitely listen to the tour guides about dressing. It’s very cold up there. Worth the early morning waking

Response from Host, Mar 2024

Mahalo for joining us for a beautiful sunrise from atop Haleakala! You are so correct, the views up there are truly spectacular! We'd love to see you again the next time that you're on Maui for another great day. Mahalo!

Great experience

Melanie_J, Jan 2024

Trip was smooth! Our tour guide pictured was very helpful and knowledgeable. He was patient and gave us tips on how to get the best photos and took really cool photos for us as well. It is an early wake up call but driving and seeing the stars going up was great!

Response from Host, Mar 2024

Aloha and thank you so much for joining us for an amazing sunrise atop Haleakala!

Beautiful way to spend Christmas morning

Sarah_H, Dec 2023

Awesome experience! Convenient pickup near the Pride of America ship, a knowledgeable and courteous tour guide, a delicious breakfast at a local restaurant, and beautiful views- all on Christmas morning! Highly recommend.

A beautiful Maui sunrise

Twila_A, Oct 2023

Watching the sunrise was a peaceful and wonderful experience. The colors were beautiful and it wasn't windy or too cold. We went on a Monday in early October and it wasn't overly crowded for us. Our tour guide, Eddie, was fun and a great storyteller. Overall, a great and memorable experience!

Breathtakingly Beautiful

Jessica_M, Jul 2023

Great experience, the views are out of this world. You will never see anything like it, can’t say more. Great guide and breakfast. If I had to say anything negative about the experience it would be the cost.

Scary excellence!!

Kolin_P, Jul 2023

Our experience rating would be a 5+ had it not been for the bus breaking down and the driver having to be ultra aggressive to make it to the top of the mountain before sunrise with the new bus. Aside from the aggressive driving along the cliffs compounded by the stories of past accidents, the driver was excellent!

Response from Host, Jul 2023

Aloha and Thank you for your feedback. Driving buses up a 10,000ft volcano daily, there always is the chance of a breakdown. Glad that our driver gave a good tour and was able to get you up in time for Sunrise, but we will remind our team to operate in a safe manner, and to not rush if it compromises the experience or safety. Mahalo!

Great adventure

Jessica_H, Jul 2023

Our tour guide was great. He took us to extra spots and told us tips of things and even took pictures for us really quick in the different areas. He showed us some native flowers and told us about the animals and which are native and which have been brought here. He tried to get us to each place quick to get some of the best spots and pictures. It was a great experience. One we will never forget!

Beautiful, unique experience!

delwin_e, Jun 2023

This tour was a one-of-a kind experience that I’m so glad we said “yes” to! Michael was a wonderful and knowledgeable tour guide, and so kind. He even took special photos for each family/couple on board. Because of the smaller bus, we had a chance and stop and get delicious donuts before breakfast. The views were incredible all morning - and not just the sunrise! Show up having eaten a small morning snack to tide you over - and consider bringing a winter hat and gloves, as the temps were freezing with the strong wind chill. (The company also provides handy wind pants and jackets!) Overall, so glad we got to see such a beautiful sunrise!

Fabulous, don’t miss it!

Matthew_H, Jun 2023

Wonderful experience that I would totally do again. Gorgeous sunrise tour of Haleakala National Park overlooks. Views at sunrise were stunning and the colors were amazing. The guide, Michael, was a wealth of knowledge and made the experience so fun. From great views, interesting stories told, history lessons of the national park and of Maui, and a great breakfast stop this well worth my time and waking up early. Thanks again for a wonderful experience!

SUCKED

Duane_B, May 2023

It f***ing sucked because it was canceled. Everything we have tried to do so far on Maui has been canceled at the last minute. So yeah not happy at all. Perhaps I should have stayed in Wisconsin

Response from Host, May 2023

We apologize that your Hawaiian vacation was met with such difficulties. Unfortunately cancelations can occur for a number of reasons, weather, availability, staff needs. We will inform guests as soon as possible and issue a full refund as necessary. We do apologize that you weren't able to participate in this activity which surely would have been an enjoyable experience.
