Day Trips & Excursions in Maui

Maui is known for its legendary sunsets, so why not watch it while standing atop the tallest peak on Maui? Here at nearly 10,000 feet (3,050 m) on the summit of Haleakala, watch the horizon explode in orange and bathe the island in light. As the oranges turn to blue and violet on the gradual journey towards dark, look towards the sky and watch as stars begin popping out through the heavens. The sunset experience is completely different than visiting Haleakala for sunrise, and in addition to the magical evening light show, guests will visit the Kula Lodge Marketplace on the journey up the mountain, and dine on a tasty, three-course meal at Caf e O'Lei past dark.

Experience an incredible daybreak view from top of Maui's highest peak during this 7- to 8-hour Mt. Haleakala sunrise tour.

This Maui sunrise excursion also includes round-trip hotel transport, continental breakfast and entrance fees.

From the lunar summit of Haleakala Crater to the viewpoint for Iao Needle, explore the best of Central Maui on this informative, guided day tour.

From the summit of Maui's 10,000-foot Haleakala volcano, the sun's amber rays illuminate the entire island.

Experience the best that Maui has to offer, from helicopter flights, to artisanal food and charming small towns, during this 9.5-hour luxury tour with a small group.
