Very knowledgeable tour guide and breathtaking views. It was also great to go along with a small group, so the tour could be catered to us. We would go again!

Beautiful scenery and comfortable ride

This was a good tour and Preston, our guide, was friendly and informative. I would recommend that the stop at the crater be longer. We went into the Visitors Center first for a few minutes then we felt rushed hiking up to the crater summit. We actually turned around before we got to the top because we didn't want to be late getting back to the bus. I suggest you go up to the summit first and then see the Visitors Center if there is time.

Absolutely exquisite, breathtaking views throughout the tour. Lunch was amazing - best Italian I've ever had! Very comfortable bus with plenty of large windows. Excellent driver/tour guide. Highly recommend this experience!

We had a great time on the tour.
Our tour guide Judy was very knowledgeable regarding the locations we visited.
She added humor to the entire trip which made the tour seem very personal for everyone involved.

Judy was great, we had a lot of fun. Lots of time traveling, but enough stops to still be worth it

Lost in the mist

Enjoyed the ride to the summit, but our stay at the top was spoilt by cloud and horizontal drizzle. Iao valley was a pleasant stop on the return journey.

Wonderful

I met my cousins in Maui. Due to schedule conflict, my cousin, family of four, took the tour of Haleakala sightseeing adventure on Tuesday. My family was scheduled to go on Thursday but got cancelled due to the hurricane. My cousins had a great time there. Pictures they took were beautiful. Too bad we did not get to go, but we plan to go to Maui again and that will be one of the site we will visit.

An Enjoyable Adventure.....

Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous, 2012/06/20

We first headed to Haleakala. There was a pleasant stop along the way for drinks and snacks. The views were spectacular and there was ample time to see the sites without being rushed. Judy, our tour director and driver, offered interesting facts and other information but appeared to be very bored and tired of the tour routine. She repeated the blurb about taking nothing but pictures about a gazillion times. Maybe it was just an off day for her. We headed to a very nice town for lunch. This was a pricey place, but the food was excellent and the service good. After lunch we headed to Iao and the rainforest inside. It was beautiful and once again we had ample time to see the sights without being rushed. At Iao we were switched to a different van that met us there and headed back home. All in all, a very pleasant day!

Haleakala Adventure Tour

Reviewed by: Pat from Austin, 2008/09/17

Thanks so much for showing us so many of the nicest parts of Maui. Charles, our tour guide, showed us around the island, while filling us in on the political and natural history of the area. It seemed to us that this was a wonderful way for first time visitors like us to get an overview of Maui.

Things we especially liked about this tour: being picked up at our hotel promptly at 7am, as advertised; the view from the top of Haleakala; the opportunity to see rare plants and birds on the mountain, such as silversword plants in bloom, and the unique Hawaiian Geese (Nene); our guide's amazing knowledge of the places we saw and their history; the wonderful lunch at Casanova's in Makawao; the beautiful scenery around the park at the Io Needle.

The opportunity to take this tour with a knowledgable guide and driver was wonderful. It permitted us to concentrate on the scenery, rather than worrying about driving on unfamiliar roads and trying to read a map and sightsee at the same t

Amazing!!!

Reviewed by: Maui Lover, 2008/07/11

Haleakala Crater was just amazing! You don't feel like you are in a tropical paradise because it gets cold up there! It is very spiritual and peaceful there, and we can't believe ancient Hawaiians used to climb on foot. Next time, I'd love to hike the crater.

We loved the Iao Needle as well. It was beautiful. Thanks!
