WOW! So glad we got up! Book 30 days in advance to reserve your opportunity to get to the top of the mountain to enjoy the sunrise. It will cost you $1.50 to book online and $25 at the guard gate. If memory serves, they...More

You have to go to view the sunrise!!! You have to get up early and make sure you wear warm clothes (yes, even in Maui)--temps were in the low 40's! It was well worth the wait and the chill---so very beautiful. A definite must do!

I feel driving is a little easier than road to Hana. I did enjoy the diverse plants and views from the bottom to the summit. The summit is super unique and worth the driving. Sometimes you can see the cloud is moving and changing the...More

Plan ahead and get a pass from the park service to see the sunrise. Only so many people are allowed in the early morning hours. It's a long drive up the volcano so give yourself plenty of time. It is completely worth it as there...More

I am spoiled having grown up near the Grand Canyon, so understand that it has taken me a long time to find a national park to impress me as much as Haleakala did today. We did our speed run up,the hill to see sunrise which...More

The drive was really long and slow. However, one at the top, it was so worth it! It looked like another world in the crater. It was such a beautiful day that we were even able to see the big island of Hawai'i! It's chilly...More
