Sunrise at Haleakala - Amazing tour guides! Learned a lot about the cultural significance of Haleakalā. The warm ponchos helped. We were unable to see the sunrise because of the clouds, but our guides stopped a little further down the mountain where we could see the Sunday and down into the crater.

The sunrise was a disappointment, but the tour was definitely worth the money. - In short, the clouds meant that the sunrise experience was not what we had hoped for, but the organization and customer service was excellent. We were contacted several times to ensure that we knew the pick up details, and the bus turned up promptly. Pick up was at our resort which was perfect. The tour guides (Abe and G) were friendly and professional, and we felt very safe on that narrow, winding road. The ponchos they provide were a Godsend - we thought we had dressed appropriately but it really is FREEZING up there! Unfortunately, the cloud cover meant that the sunrise was an anticlimax, but on the ride back down the clouds did lift and we were able to pull over and look at the wonderful views. For breakfast we went to Cafe O’Lei at The Plantation and that was wonderful- we went back later for dinner as the food and setting were both wonderful. Overall, the trip was well managed and we would recommend this tour.

Spectacular Experience, a Must Do!!! - Sunrise tour to Haleakala was spectacular! Saw so many stars, beautiful moon rise, followed by sunrise. Our tour guides went above and beyond sharing native insights regarding island land management, cultural history, and so much more while keeping all participants comfortably warm. Phenomenal photo ops. Plantation breakfast very serene setting. This is one of a few tours this trip, definitely the highlight of our Maui experiece. Mahalo Billy and Brian!

Spectacular views but bundle up! - Tour guides Alex and Abe very friendly and knowledgeable. Ride is long and the hour wait at the summit was cold, very cold. They provided poncho wraps but they didn’t keep any of us warm. Recommend bringing wind proof outer layer and some insulation base. Don’t leave any skin exposed. That being the case the view is absolutely worth the effort. It is spectacular. Alex narrates the drive down with some interesting history. Meal at the plantation is tasty fast and surrounded by beautiful scenery. All in all worth it but you must dress for 39 degrees and heavy wind.

Don’t think about it! Just do it !!!! - We had a very pleasant tour! Billy was on time, very knowledgeable and funny. Driving skills are on point! The bus was comfortable and spacious. Seats were able to recline back. He got us to the top of the mountain safely and efficiently. We were the first tour group to get up there and got the best seat to watch sunrise! We are so thankful he provided us with some fleece lined panchos. Helped a lot with the cold! With that being said, please layer up, it is very cold up there! 30 degrees, I’m from San Diego and that’s cold for us 😅 Layer up , wear some thick socks, scarf, beanie and some mittens. You may think I’m being over dramatic but you’ll thank me once you’re up there!! I saw some poor souls with no jackets up there freezing! Please do not make that mistake! The sunrise was amazing to watch! Amazing views!! At the end of the tour we were taken to breakfast at the Maui plantation. Beautiful location for breakfast. Mahalo Billy!

A great national park to visit! - This was an amazing trip and to see the sunrise was spectacular. It is very cold up on the top so dress accordingly. However, Valley isle tours gave us lined wind blankets and it was a blessing. While other tour groups up there were absolutely freezing we were able to stand out and enjoy the sunrise. Billy was our tour guide and he was fantastic.....funny and knowledgeable.

A Moving Experience - Convenient and efficient pick up with knowledgeable and friendly tour guides. They were respectful on the way up and allowed us that wanted to rest to do so in quiet. Great about telling us what was next and warning about winding roads. The sunrise was AMAZING to experience from night’s darkness to the first light of dawn. Special bonus was first light chanting and welcoming of a new day. Highly recommend this tour to experience a sunrise at almost 10,000 feet and above the clouds.

Fantastic sunrise trip! - It was an amazing trip. Our guides and driver were experienced and shared great info. Ride was comfortable and the blanket wraps provided were the best- it’s windy and cold on top of the mountain. I really appreciated that our guides were native Hawaiian and to the island and could share their experiences.
