Haleakala with Glen
Reviewed by: Zane & Kay , 2015/09/13We read it was a good idea to do this at the beginning of your trip so you're still on your 'time' due to the early morning time frame. Even though you are going to nice warm Maui, it is very cold up there early morning. You are in the elements for about an hour, bring a jacket, blanket, beach towel, something... It's easier to enjoy the spectacular sunrise if you're not freezing.
Glen was a fun tour guide. We enjoyed our morning with Glen.
The view at breakfast was beautiful.

Spectacular View
Reviewed by: Paul, 2015/06/22The sunrise tour starts early but it is totally worth it! None of the pictures I saw of the sunrise can communicate the shear beauty of the view. The sun creeps over the cloud cover and suddenly everything is lit up with golden sunshine. After that, they took us to the summit and a couple other places on the mountain to see the crater and then took us back down and served us breakfast.

Incredible!
Reviewed by: Brittany B. , 2015/06/21This tour was absolutely amazing! Not only did we have an awesome tour guide, Rory, but the sunrise was breathtaking! Rory got us there with plenty of time to spare and got us the best place to stand! He was so informative and passionate about his island! He gave us so much information about the culture of Hawaii that he didn't have to do. I can't recommend this tour enough!

Very Educational
Reviewed by: Justin Daniels, 2015/05/21Our tour guide was very knowledgeable, and that made an already great experience even better. The view at sunrise is incomparable, and being able to see some of the unique plant life was an nice addition. The breakfast following the tour was quality, a real unexpected bonus, as it was great food at a quality peaceful and scenic spot. I would recommend this tour to friends.

Spectacular experience
Reviewed by: Roxanna Peña , 2015/04/24The view was amazing and it will stay with me forever. I was definitely bundled up and ready for the cold, so please do not underestimate your need to wear VERY warm clothing. It is 100% worth the early pick-up time. You won't be disappointed.

Thank you mother nature!
Reviewed by: Marzia (Roma-Italy), 2015/04/15Thanks to everybody for permitting me to feel part of the great game of life.
Waiting for the sun up on the mistic Halekala was one of the biggest emotions of my life. As the sun rose, the colors changed and a native Hawaiians sung a traditional chant that still sounds in my soul.

Best moment of my holiday
Reviewed by: Jesper, 2015/02/09Enjoyed this tremendously! The sunrise at Haleakala is as spectacular as everyone says it is.
Our guide (Bob) had a lot of humour, was well-informed and passionate, and gave us the freedom to go where we wanted to during the actual sunrise instead of having to stay at a designated spot.
Included breakfast was decent too.
The early wake-up is well worth it. Don't miss this when you're on Maui.

Awesome trip
Reviewed by: Davy, 2015/01/11I would recommend to book this trip instead of drive by yourself. You don't have to drive very early in the morning and there are lots of turns. Our guide gave some very interesting information and local stories.

Best tour guy!!! (Bob)
Reviewed by: Ivonne and Gus, 2014/12/14My husband and I were doing our 1 year anniversary during this trip. The crazy early hour was insane but well worth it. It was beautiful watching the sun rise as someone sang a native song. Our tour guide was amazing always had some new fact or funny story to say. He had us laughing quite a bit. Especially his jokes that would catch us off guard through the drive. "Men are from Mars women are from Visa" still makes me giggle. Now my husband is telling that to everyone! The breakfast was good at a local golf course. I'd go again only for our driver I think he was the best part of the entire tour. He was worth every penny. A great tour guide makes all the difference. Thank you!

Wow!
Reviewed by: Letitia, 2014/12/07So we got up at 2am to get ready to get our bus. We took the bus up the mountain. We arrived and stepped off the bus to like 40 degrees!! 40 degrees in Hawaii? Yes when you are 10,000 feet up!! Duh!! Forgot my jacket but bought some souvenir sweatshirts in the visitor center :) so remember your jacket.
We stood and watched the sunrise and it was worth being cold for an hour. What an experience. Will do it again for sure!

Fantastic Trip
Reviewed by: Matt, 2014/07/22Did this on the first day so it wasn't hard to get up at 2am since we hadn't adjusted to the timezone yet. I was glad we packed jeans, jackets, gloves and hats; we were still a little cold up there. But the sunrise was definitely spectacular.
We stayed at the Hyatt and there was some confusion on where to be picked up. Don't ask Veltra; call Polynesian Adventure Tours listed on the voucher directly. Our driver was OK; he had some interesting tips, but at 2:30am, most of us were just sleeping. It also would have been nice to know about the large viewing area right of the observation shack since it was pitch black when we got there. I would have expected the driver to mention this or give tips on where to view the sunrise. The Coffee and Danish was just OK; the system of having driver fix your coffee and hot chocolate was slow. The big breakfast on the way down was tasty, but slow to be served.
