Witness the sunrise at nearly 10,000ft above sea level on this early morning excursion. Your early morning trip will start with pickup service at or nearby your accommodation where your guide will take you and other guests up the slopes of the Haleakala and enter the Park accordingly before sunrise. The Park entrance fee is included in your trip. Upon arrival to the summit area, guests may venture out around the general crater area to see the sunrise above the clouds and enjoy spectacular views of the changing colors of the clouds as the sun begins to rise. Guests are highly encouraged to bring warm weather gear such as closed-toe shoes, jackets, and long pants as temperatures are often around freezing in the early morning hours. After seeing the sunrise, guests will make their way back down the volcano with their guide who will then make a stop at a local restaurant brand for breakfast which is included in the tour.
If you prefer to have a trip that includes warm weather gear, consider this Luxury Haleakala Sunrise Tour instead.
