Itinerary
- Haleakalā National Park
Your journey begins with an early morning pickup, letting you relax as your driver navigates the scenic mountain roads up to the 10,023-foot summit—known in Hawaiian tradition as the sacred "House of the Sun." Wrap up warm and gather at the summit viewing areas to witness the dramatic transition from starlight to golden dawn. Watch in awe as the sun breaks above the clouds, casting brilliant hues across the crater floor—a site historically revered as the ancient "realm of the gods." Marvel at the dramatic volcanic topography and sweeping ocean views as dawn illuminates the mountain slopes. Feel the brisk alpine breeze and take in the tranquility of Maui’s highest peaks, immersing yourself in the raw natural beauty of this sacred landscape. Admire the otherworldly volcanic crater that stretches across the horizon, carved by millennia of natural forces. Listen to the peaceful silence atop the volcano as the first light of day breathes life into the island.
- Haleakala Visitor Center
After witnessing the breathtaking sunrise at the summit of Haleakalā National Park, your journey continues with a scenic descent down the volcanic slopes toward the Haleakalā Visitor Center (9,740 ft). As the morning sun lights up the island, marvel at the sweeping panoramic views of Upcountry Maui and the shimmering Pacific Ocean in the distance. During this stop, take time to explore educational exhibits on local geology and Hawaiian mythology, snap photos of the unique high-altitude landscape, and keep an eye out for rare native species like the sacred Silversword plant (ʻāhinahina) and the Hawaiian goose (Nēnē). Wind down the mountain while enjoying the crisp, fresh island air and watching the morning light transform the surrounding valleys. Take in the peaceful atmosphere of this high-elevation sanctuary before getting ready to head back to Las Vegas.
