We had a beautiful day to drive up to the crater. If you go bring some warmer clothes, some snacks, and go in the morning because visibility tends to better. On our way down the clouds started to roll in and you can't see much so I am sure the afternoon drivers were disappointed. more

We took a half-day tour from our cruise to Haleakala. The place is really awsome. It's almost out of this world. Climbing from the sea level to the top of the mountain is a great experience. However, the trip there (from Lahaina) took almost 2-1/2 hours each way. It means that we only had like 30 min at the crater!... more

Perfect arrangement for our family. We did the 9am summit in mid-May, so it was warming up by the time we got to the top (still needed a jacket because of the strong wind). Great views. They stop by the visitor's center on the way up and down so you can use the restroom. When we checked in, they offered... more

Checked in at Maui Sunriders Bike company at 3AM. They drove us to the top of Haleakala and we watched the sunrise which was sooo beautiful. There is only 1 toilet on the top which is super duper stink because its not flushable. Its one of those toilets that all the waste just falls to a big hole under the... more

If you enjoy waking up at 2am and sitting on top of a volcano waiting for the sun to rise then this is for you. Saw an amazing sunrise, stars and got to hear some amazing stories. i.e. girl who went up the day after breaking her leg on the descent. Of course the best part is riding your bike... more

We are not morning people so we skipped the sunrise viewing and went there for sunset. It was quite gorgeous. At sunset you are actually not viewing the crater but looking down the mountain (sunrise is crater side, sunset is the other side facing away from the crater). But it is really colorful and beautiful. Most people got up and... more

At Leleiwi Overlook, you can witness the Brocken Spectre, a rare natural phenomenon for those with patience. It's located 6.3 miles from Park Headquarters at 8,000 feet in elevation. The event is when you can watch your shadow cast on top of the clouds. At which point, a rainbow will form around your shadow. Conditions must be perfect: 1) there... more

While in Maui My Wife and I signed up for a tour with the Haleakala Bike Company. This tour took us up to Halekala volcano before dawn. They provided Us with clothing to help against the coolweather on top of the crater. It was dark when We arrived but soon after the sun began to rise. It was unbeleivable. All... more

We read a lot of reviews on TA before choosing Haleakala Bike Company...we're very glad we chose them for our March 16th sunrise trip. They were professional, informative and Corey shared some pretty amusing stories with us on the trip up the volcano. They provided all the necessary equipment along with good bikes (with good brakes!)...they also offered insurance in... more

We skipped the sunrise, but still had a wonderful time. Felt very safe the entire time, thanks to the hilariously entertaining guide, R.C. All of our cheeks hurt from laughing (he thinks he's Bill Murray, and we did, too, after the trip). I can't wait to take my kids! more

We just returned from a Celebrity Cruise to Hawaii and one of the off boat tours was this excursion to the top of Halekala volcano to see the sunrise and to bike down 28 miles. Being over 50 I was a little apprehensive but the crew was very informative and helpful. They provided us with all the equipment we needed... more

Thanx to the Staff for making this the highlight of our Hawaiian vacation. What an incredible experience that far exceeded our expectations. It certainly was Nature at its finest. We had the pleasure of taking our ride on 3/19/2008 and the weather could not have been more perfect. One moment you are standing amongst the clouds and stars and before... more

We booked Haleakala Bike Co because my niece used the company and told me how fun it was. We were cruising in March 2008 and were in Maui for 2 days; our cruise ship did not offer this excursion so we booked it before we went. We found out later that Jeremy took alot of heat for booking us because... more

We are an active couple in our early thirties, and found this activity to be dangerous and NOT FUN at all. We opted for the "express tour". Basically, we paid $62 per person only to be dropped off on the side of the busy road, have safety rules quickly shouted at us, given a map (and told to disregard the... more

I took the Haleakala bike tour with the Haleakala Bike Co while in Hawaii. It was the high point of my vacation. The staff was friendly & efficient while outfitting us and the guide was very knowledgeable and personable. We were taken to the top of Haleakala Mt in a van and then part way down. Here we were allowed... more

Haleakala Crater is definitely worth a trip. My husband and I drove up on our own. We thought about doing one of those tours where you go up there to see the sunrise, but we were trying to have a laid-back vacation and the thought of having to wake up at 2 or 3am just didn't appeal to us. We... more

Sunrise at the Haleakala Crater was aboslutely stunning! It was about 1.5 - 1.75 hours from our condo parking lot in Kihea to the parking lot at the Crater (we left at 4:15 a.m.). Our timing was perfect....the lead up to the actual sunrise was as breathtaking as the actual sunrise itself. I actually had tears in my eyes, it... more

There are several Haleakala bike tours in Maui, but after doing some research we chose to go on the Sunrise Special. We liked the idea of doing the ride alone and at our own pace. We booked directly through their website about a month before our tour date. We met at their shop at 4:00 am and got our gear.... more

Our family of five took this ride on February 15, 2008. The weather was terrific, with crystal clear views, all the way down into the crater where we stopped to eat a delicious lunch. Then the clouds rolled in off the ocean, which was impressive to watch, and even though we lost some of the views, the mist would roll... more
