“ Riding with Matt was a great experience ,so into the tour/ride. One of the best rides I’ve done. Great day would highly recommend Anthony D Wrote a review Oct 24
“ This is my second bike tour in Maui. This by far was superior to the previous “sunrise” bike tour. Matt and his team were amazing! It was great because the group was small and personable (other tours are much much larger.) The equipment was so much nicer. The stop for lunch was in a fun little town, good food. Don’t look any further for a bike tour, this is the one! Joy H Wrote a review Oct 13
“ Maui Bombers is awesome. This was our second time with them. We did the supreme route this time and highly recommend it. Matt treats every rider like they are his best friend. He has thought of everything you could possibly need to exceed your expectations. If you could do just one activity while in Maui this is it! Chris Wrote a review Oct 11
“ This is the best cycling tour in Maui! The 40 mile route takes you to other locations that the other tours don't go and you get to see the best views of upcountry. We lucked out and we're the only ones on the tour and Matt and Eric were awesome. It felt very safe with Eric following behind in the van and the bikes are in great condition. Matt takes plenty of photos and action videos so you can just sit back and take in the views. It's an easy, mostly downhill ride. You'll love this tour! Lauren C Wrote a review Oct 8
“ Matt and Alex were such a great pleasure to be greeted and hosted by. They were fun friendly excited, informative and professional. Felt safe and comfortable the entire time. Breathtaking views, solid puns, and great guides. They had everything planned to the T! They also were kind enough to accommodate us relatively last minute! Their gear, equipment, vehicles, and food was delicious. Especially the home made muffins! Thanks again Maui Bombers for the awesome trip! See you guys soon. Zach H Wrote a review Oct 3
“ I loved every minute of this tour! Absolute MUST DO activity while in Maui. Matt the owner was so much fun and had such a great energy while leading this tour. You could tell he truly is having a blast every time he does it. I was a little nervous at first when the tour group in front of us started and all their brakes were squeaking, but Matt had the best bikes and equipment out of any other tour company and I was instantly comfortable once we got going. He also has regular bike helmets and not the gross full face helmets that are super nasty to share (every other company has full face helmets - yuck!) Dub-Steff Wrote a review Oct 3
“ Great experience from beginning to end! I contacted Matt directly to register for this tour because the system doesn't allow solo bookings. He was great on the phone and sent reminder texts before the ride day. 40 miles sounds like a lot, but it's definitely mostly downhill and on some rolling up/down in some really cool upcountry parts of Maui. Anyone can do this ride! elh76 Wrote a review Oct 1

Guided Tours vs. Self-Guided: What’s Best for Your Maui Cycle Trip

When planning your Maui cycling tour,  you’ll face a crucial decision : Guided tours or self-guided rides. Understanding the differences and benefits of both types can help guide your choice.

Guided tours  are exactly what they sound like. You’re accompanied by a trained professional who’s familiar with the terrain and local customs. They’ll lead the way, provide historical context and handle any hiccups that may spring up.

Professionally led tours often include:

  • Pre-planned routes
  • Interesting local trivia
  • Assistance with bike maintenance
  • Emergency support

If you’re perhaps a little worried about getting lost, or prefer a structured journey filled with information about Maui’s rich culture, a guided tour may be just what you need!

On the flip side,  self-guided tours  give you the freedom to explore at your own pace. You decide where to go, how long to stay, and when to stop for a breather. It’s like going on an adventure, with Maui’s stunning landscapes as your playground.

Common highlights of a self-guided tour include:

  • Spontaneous detours
  • Custom itinerary
  • Endless photo opportunities
  • Encounters with local culture

Should you crave the thrill of discovery and relish the quiet joy of solitary bike rides, a self-guided tour can offer a liberating and fulfilling experience.

Being aware of the highlights of both options may lead you to question:  Guided or Self-guided?  The truth is, only  you  can answer that based on your preferences, fitness level, and cycling experience. Consideration for what springs joy in your journey is vital.

Whatever your passion, Maui with its winding trails, shifting terrains, and stunning ocean views, offers an unbeatable setting for a cycling trip of a lifetime. Discover the allure of this Hawaiian gem through the pedal power of your bicycle, guided or not. In the end, it’s  your  journey. You get to decide the way you’d like to experience your adventure on the saddle.

Essential Tips for A Successful Maui Bike Tour

Ready to explore Hawaii’s paradise on two wheels? Maui bike tours have always topped the must-do bucket list for many adventurers worldwide. But to ensure your tour is nothing short of epic, there are certain tips you’d want to consider.

First off,  size matters  when it comes to bikes. Make sure you choose a bike that’s right for your comfort and endurance level. Too big or too small, and you’re in for an uncomfortable ride.

Safety should always take precedence . Helmets are usually provided by the tour operators, but it’s not a bad idea to bring your own if you’ve got one that’s perfectly fitted. Knee pads, gloves, and suitable footwear also go a long way in safeguarding your biking adventure.

And remember, while Maui’s sceneries may be distracting, keeping your eyes on the road is crucial. This brings us to our third tip:  Master the art of balance . It’ll be helpful especially if you’re hitting the downhill slopes.

Remember that hydration and nutrition play key roles in ensuring you’re  physically prepared  for the ride. Arm yourself with plenty of water, snacks such as energy bars and fruits, and ensure you’ve eaten a substantial meal beforehand.

Check the weather forecast. Don’t let a sudden rain shower derail your bike tour plans. Dress appropriately with layers you can add or remove easily as the weather dictates.

Last but definitely not least, enjoy the ride! Maui offers some of the most stunning landscapes; don’t forget to take a minute, stop and soak it in. Whether you’re cycling through the lush rainforests, along the sandy beaches or by the towering volcanoes, each view is a different experience altogether.

Here’s a brief recap of your ‘To-Do List’ before commencing your Maui bike tour:

  • Choose the right size of bike.
  • Place safety first- helmet, knee pads, gloves, and footwear.
  • Balance is key.
  • Stay hydrated and well-nourished.
  • Keep an eye on the weather.
  • Take your time and savor the views.

And there you have it, your Maui bike tour beckons! Enjoy the ride.

Ensuring Safety on Your Maui Bike Tour

Safety always comes first , especially when you’re set to embark on a fantastic journey through Maui’s breathtaking landscapes. On bike tours, it’s even more crucial to prioritize safety and be prepared for any potential bumps along the road. Here’s a list of essential safety guidelines for Maui bike tours.

Gear up.  First things first, make sure you have the right gear. You’ll need a helmet, reflective clothing, biking gloves and sturdy footwear. You can never be too careful when cycling around Maui’s diverse terrain.

Consider bringing water and snacks along for the ride. Hydration and nutrition are key to maintaining energy and focus, whether you’re cruising along the coastline or tackling uphill climbs.

Follow the guide.  Bike tour guides are trained professionals, familiar with Maui’s paths and trails. Stick close to them. They’ll guide you around obstacles, keeping your tour running safely and smoothly.

Stay alert.  Maui’s roads are home to a vibrant mix of pedestrians, vehicles and other cyclists. Always be aware of your surroundings to prevent accidents.

Follow traffic rules.  The rules of the road aren’t just for cars. Bike tours should also adhere to traffic regulations. Stop at stop signs, signal your turns and keep to the right of the road.

These safety guidelines are designed to ensure that your Maui bike tour is memorable for all the right reasons. Following them will allow you to experience the beauty of Maui confidently and safely. Enjoy the ride, and have fun exploring Maui’s hidden treasures!

Haleakala UPCOUNTRY BIKE TOUR  FAQs

What does the haleakala volcano bike ride tour include.

Our Maui bike tours of Haleakala include all the biking equipment needed for the ride (Redline Monocog Mountain Bike with disc brakes and 29″ wheel, helmet, rain/wind gear, gloves, backpack, map, bike lock), as well as a narrated van tour. Before you leave for the Haleakala bike tour, you will have a safety briefing explaining area guidelines and safety tips for the bike tour. We provide everything you need to have a safe, fun, and relaxing Maui volcano bike ride. Our professional tour guides will explain the history of upcountry Maui, points of interest, Hawaiian culture, and geological features on the route on the drive up from sea level to our staging area at 6,500′, just before the entrance of the National Park. This ride also includes your shuttles back up to the starting point for your second lap.  Once you are out on the road you will have full support with our sweep van and all of our drivers ready to assist and help with anything you need.We will then shuttle everyone to Makawao for time to explore the town and then shuttle back down to our Paia bike shop.

HOW LONG IS THE HALEAKALA BIKE RIDE & HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE?

The bike ride down Haleakala starts at 6,500 ft, and is 99.9% downhill at an average gradient of 5-6%. Each lap is 6.5 miles, two laps is a total of 13 miles. The entire experience is roughly 4+ hours. You are riding on paved country roads with active traffic, and for most of the ride, there is no shoulder or bike lane.

WHAT SHOULD WE WEAR ON THE BIKE TOUR?

Closed-toe shoes are strongly recommended. For the Haleakala Downhill, most folks are fine in just shorts and a t-shirt. We provide a rain jacket/windbreaker that functions as an added layer, as the windchill can be chilly at our staging area. Full-finger gloves are included in the tour, as well.

On a typical day at 6,500′ around 10:30am (the time and elevation at which you’ll start the ride), temps are usually in the low to mid-60s. We also provide a backpack to put any layers or purchases in on the way down. If the weather looks overcast, windy, or rainy we recommend wearing more removable layers such as pants or a sweatshirt. In these conditions, temps can be in the mid to high 50’s.

WHAT IS THE MINIMUM AGE TO DO THE HALEAKALA DOWNHILL?

The minimum age to participate in this bike ride is 15 years old. The minimum height requirement to fit the bike is 4’11”. Intermediate bike experience is required, as is experience using disc brakes on a bike.

The ride requires maturity; you will ride on paved roads with traffic, and most of the ride does not have a shoulder or bike lane. We trust the judgment of the parent or guardian in determining a minor’s skill level.

DO I NEED TO BE IN SHAPE TO DO THIS RIDE?

The nature of this ride doesn’t require you to necessarily be in shape nor does weight matter as long as you aren’t over the bike manufacturer’s weight limit of 300lbs. This ride is quite easy and you BARELY even pedal! It’s 99.9% all downhill.

However, riders must be CONFIDENT and COMFORTABLE riding a bike. This ride isn’t for beginners, and not safe if you haven’t been on a bike in years.

If it’s been a while, we recommend getting out on a bike and practicing before you do this ride. While it’s not a physically challenging ride, you are descending at 25+ mph at an average grade of 5-6%. This requires bike handling skills.

You will be sharing the country roads with vehicles and riding a bike down the sloping switchbacks of Haleakala! It’s truly a fun and easy ride AS LONG as you are a confident cyclist and comfortable riding a bike!

ARE THERE ANY RESTRICTIONS?

There are just a few restrictions for your safety:

  • Riders must be confident and experienced at riding a bike with disc brakes
  • Minimum Age 15 Years old.
  • Minimum height requirement to fit the bike is 4’11”.
  • Intermediate bike experience is required , as is experience using disc brakes on a bike.
  • Under 18 must be accompanied by an adult at all times.
  • Must not be Pregnant

IS THERE A CHANCE OF GETTING LOST?

On this Maui downhill bike tour you will not get lost. We will do laps and be waiting for you at the pick-up points. There are no opportunities to get lost!

ARRIVING ON CRUISE SHIP, CAN WE MAKE IT IN TIME?

Guests arriving on a cruise ship at the Kahului harbor come do our bike ride all the time! You arrive at the dock at 8am and our shop is about 15 minutes from the Harbor. Taxi or Uber is your best bet and costs around $20 each way. Check-in time is 8:45am and we are open at 8:30am.

CAN WE BIKE & CATCH A DEPARTING FLIGHT ON THE SAME DAY?

You will return to our shop in Paia around 1:30pm. From our shop, it’s about a 15 minute drive to the airport. Security lines do tend to be longer here on Maui than at mainland airports, so do factor that into your day’s timeline, but yes, you can fly the same afternoon as your bike tour!

You are more than welcome to store your luggage at our shop, customers do so all the time and we are more than happy to keep it secure until you return.

DO YOU OFFER GUIDED TOURS? WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE SELF-PACED TOUR?

We do not offer hotel pick-up and drop-off where you spend more time driving around in a van than being able to explore the North Shore of Maui or Haleakala after your bike ride. By riding back to our shop in Paia at the end of the tour instead of being transported back to the hotel, you‘ll be able to explore the North Shore of the island and get to see a little more of the charming small towns in Maui. Whether you are driving from the south side of the island or the west, directions to our shop are as simple as three right turns and you’re at our front door.

DO YOU OFFER HOTEL PICKUPS?

We eliminated hotel pick-up and drop-off where you spend more time driving around in a van than on the actual bike ride. Since our tour is self-guided, everyone finishes the ride at different times. By riding back to our shop in Paia, you‘ll be able to explore the North Shore of the island and get to see a little more of the charming small towns in Maui. All our guests enjoy the freedom of having their car and exploring Paia, North Shore beaches and waterfalls or even going up to the summit for sunset after the ride.Whether you are driving from the south side of the island or the west, directions to our shop are as simple as three right turns and you’re at our front door. By eliminating hotel pick up and drop offs, this also helps to keep our rate the lowest on the island.

DO YOU PROVIDE ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE?

Yes, of course. Biking down Haleakala at your own pace allows you to experience the ride at a speed that feels comfortable to you, as well as allowing you to stop and go as you please without getting stuck in a group or to having to keep up with someone else’s pace. If you need assistance with anything at any time along the Maui bike tour, we will always be available. Just remember to bring a cell phone with you to call us for assistance. We have a safety van always nearby.

COULD THE RIDE BE DANGEROUS?

Like any other outdoor activity, there are inherent risks. In order to minimize those risks, you MUST be comfortable riding a bike, be able to use hand brakes, and be able to stay focused throughout the ride. You are coming down country roads and sharing the road with cars.

If you are a beginner cyclist or haven’t been on a bike in years, this ride likely is not the right fit for you. We recommend practicing on a bike before you do this ride. While it’s not a physically challenging ride, you are descending at 25+mph at an average grade of 5-6%. You will be sharing the country roads with vehicles and riding the bike down the sloping switchbacks of Haleakala!

It’s truly a fun and easy ride AS LONG as you are a confident cyclist and comfortable riding a bike on the road while descending!

At Maui Sunriders, we are committed to keeping you safe. We take great effort to provide you with the safety awareness, guidelines, and briefings you need to have a safe and fun trip. However, ultimately you are in control of the bike. Remember this is a Maui biking tour, not a race. If you decide to bike down Haleakala at 50 mph, then you can make the bike ride very dangerous. And, of course, this is not the place to learn how to ride a bike, so you need to be experienced at riding a bike. Although it is not a difficult ride, you should be a competent, confident rider.

HOW MUCH SHOULD WE TIP OUR GUIDE / DRIVER?

Tipping is greatly appreciated. Our guides provide you with a fun and informative drive up, as well as make sure everyone is coming down the volcano safely. They work hard daily loading/unloading your bikes, assuring a proper bike fit, as well as the behind the scene efforts making sure your bikes are in top working order and sanitizing all your gear daily.

Our tour guides do their best to ensure that your experience is both informative and memorable. As in any other service industry, tipping is subject to the level and quality of the service provided. (suggested gratuity is 18% however, a gratuity of any amount is always appreciated)

CAN WE RIDE IF ITS RAINY OR WINDY?

We do ride rain or shine. Maui is a tropical climate and it can rain any day of the year. For this reason, we provide rain/wind breaker jacket & pants, as well as bike gloves every day of the year.  As long as you are confident and comfortable riding bikes, it can be safe riding in the rain and wind. We hope that our riders have all been on bikes recently (like within a couple years minimum.) If it’s unsafe for anyone, it would be those who haven’t been on a bike in a long time….and are a bit wobbly on a bike to begin with!

When there is rain and wind, it is ok to ride as long as you slow down and anticipate the rain and wind gusts at all times. The upper portion of the ride can be windier as it is more exposed with less trees and the lower portion can be more protected, aside from the occasional gusts coming around a corner.  If for some reason the wind or rain is too much for you at the start we can always put you on the bikes at a lower elevation where it is less exposed.  If you feel nervous about it, contact us to reschedule. We have a 48 hour change policy so if you give us notice we are happy to move the reservation for you. Feel free to contact us any time if necessary.

We do occasionally cancel a tour if we receive Warnings from the National Weather system and we determine it to be unsafe to ride.  Due to our unpredictable and fast changing weather systems on Maui, we can only cancel a tour the morning of the ride. The forecast can change the day before or the morning of, as tropical weather is spontaneous! We aim to make the final decision by 7:30am daily. In the event that we cancel a ride, you can reschedule for another day, or if you can’t book any other day we also offer a full refund.

DO WE SEE THE CRATER / SUMMIT ON THE HALEAKALA BIKE RIDE?

Tours that take you into the national park to see the crater/summit range from $220-$240 per person. Our tour is a lot less per person, due to the fact that we don’t enter the National Park. Tours that bring you into the park, will then drive you back down to the same place we begin our bike ride. No tour operator can allow you to bike inside the National Park.

We suggest going into the National Park on your own for a more personal experience at only $30 per vehicle. There are over 35 miles of hiking that you can do inside the park so it may be worthwhile to separate your activities to really take in the park and make it an experience of its own. 

Most of our guests visit the park another day or go after the bike ride to watch sunset. A lot of locals say the sunset is just as beautiful (if not MORE) and much warmer, less people (no reservation needed) and so much less of an ordeal, like waking up at 2am on vacation. With that our favorite recommendation is to join us at 9am for your downhill ride. Enjoy Paia and the beaches after the ride, maybe have an early dinner in town and then drive up and catch sunset. You can enter the park an hour early and explore the park, hike around a bit and see it more than you would at sunrise. Bring a towel, bottle of wine or beverage of choice, Hawaiian snacks and see the spectacular sunset! It’s warmer at the crater than it will be waiting for the sun to rise. You can also look up the volcano and see if the weather is to your liking to view sunset, where as with sunrise it is all or nothing at 3am!

Some guests opt to do sunrise on their own & then join us for a Downhill Bike Ride. Since our tour starts at 9am, guests that still want to experience sunrise on their own and save a bundle of money, go up on their own and then drive down immediately following sunrise. You will need a reservation with the National Park as mentioned above, it is very crowded so get there early and you do need to wake up around 2am to get up the volcano in time. It takes about an hour and a half to come down and reach our shop in Paia, plan to leave the summit at the latest by 7:30am. Then you can park your car for the day and we will shuttle you up for your bike ride. When you finish your ride your car will be parked in Paia ready to explore the North Shore.

Keep in mind all the sunrises and sunsets are 50/50 that you will have incredible views due to our tropical weather and clouds that come through. At least for sunset you can decide if it’s worth it but for sunrise it’s all or nothing, due to your reservation and its dark and cold so you can’t totally see the weather. Remember sometimes you see clouds above but you often times break through the clouds and travel a couple 1000’ feet above the clouds. It varies from day-to-day!

CAN WE BIKE UP INTO THE NATIONAL PARK?

No, unfortunately on this experience you aren’t able to bike up into the Halekakala National Park.

DO YOU OFFER HALEAKALA SUNRISE TOURS?

We used to offer the sunrise tour for almost 18 years however, as of 2019 we are no longer partnering with the National Park and we have concluded our sunrise tours. The prices have gone way up & we don’t feel it is the best value and nor safest experience to pass on to our customers. To book a sunrise bike tour with any operator these days will cost you about $220-240 per person! We share with our guests the option join us for a 9am self-guided bike ride for a lot less per person. Most of our guests opt for sunset after their Downhill Bike Ride on your own.

Sunset is just as beautiful (if not MORE) and much warmer, less people (no reservation needed) and so much less of an ordeal, like waking up at 2am on vacation. With that our favorite recommendation is to join us at 9am for your downhill ride. Enjoy Paia and the beaches after the ride, maybe have an early dinner in town and then drive up and catch sunset. You can enter the park an hour early and explore the park, hike around a bit and see it more than you would at sunrise. Bring a towel, bottle of wine or beverage of choice, Hawaiian snacks and see the spectacular sunset! It’s warmer at the crater than it will be waiting for the sun to rise. You can also look up the volcano and see if the weather is to your liking to view sunset, where as with sunrise it is all or nothing at 3am!

Furthermore, when you do the sunrise downhill option, it’s sorta confusing because you have to get back in the shuttle van and drive down to 6500 ft’ where all bike tours are Permitted to start and that is where we begin our ride…(right outside the National Park entrance.) So you don’t get to bike down from the summit. We start our tour later in the day so that you have time to catch the sunrise if you wish and to prevent biking with all the sunrise traffic coming down the mountain as well as local rush hour and for some that can be a little unnerving. With our ride beginning later, there are far less cars on the road which makes it safer and much more comfortable cruise down the mountain. Lastly, most of the shops & restaurants that you get to explore on our self-guided tour will be closed in the morning during the sunrise rides.

Some guests opt to do sunrise on their own & then join us for a Downhill Bike Ride. Since our tour starts at 9am, guests that still want to experience sunrise on their own and save a bundle of money, go up on their own and then drive down immediately following sunrise. The entry fee is $30 per car and a $1.50 online reservation fee through the National Park website.   (book ahead!)   For 2 people you will already save $240 that you could use to go out for a great dinner!

You will need a reservation (they can be almost impossible to attain!!!) with the National Park as mentioned above, it is very crowded so get there early and you do need to wake up around 2am to get up the volcano in time. It takes about an hour and a half to come down and reach our shop in Paia, plan to leave the summit at the latest by 7:30am. Then you can park your car for the day and we will shuttle you up for your bike ride. When you finish your ride your car will be parked in Paia ready to explore the North Shore.

Keep in mind all the sunrises and sunsets are 50/50 that you will have incredible views due to our tropical weather and clouds that come through. At least for sunset you can decide if it’s worth it but for sunrise it’s all or nothing, due to your reservation and its dark and cold so you can’t totally see the weather. Remember sometimes you see clouds above but you often times break through the clouds and travel a couple 1000’ feet above the clouds. It varies from day-to-day!

HOW DID BIKING DOWN HALEAKALA START?

In 1983, “Cruiser Bob” the originator of the “Maui Volcano Bike Tour” created what is today one of the most popular Maui activities. Bob’s Haleakala bike tour became an instant success story. It grew rapidly with thousands of visitors a year riding down the volcano. Due to his success, many other companies were formed that used Bob’s biking tour as a model. A few of them are still here, while Bob moved on to other biking adventures. Some claim to be the “original,” but this fame belongs rightly only to Cruiser Bob.

Excellent bike company and great customer service. First time at crater with my wife and boy did we have a blast. The guides made it a great experience and comfortable one.

Easy check in, organized, shuttle ride informative, driver made sure we knew how to get back on self guided portion, excellent experience. Would definitely book with this company again!

Interesting culture, beautiful scene and fun downhill

We got exactly what we thought we would get. It was the self guided downhill. The rest is guided and well done. If you are confident on a bicycle, it’s perfect for you. If you are a little apprehensive on a bike, you might consider the guided tour. They use vans to block the traffic from behind and pull over a bunch to let the car traffic pass. If you are confident on a bike, this will drive you kinda crazy. Either way, it’s worth getting up too early on a vacation morning.

– Michael H. | TripAdvisor

Summit Tour is a Must

My husband and I loved the summit tour and are glad we paid for this portion of the tour instead of just doing the bike ride. We really enjoyed going into the park, seeing the view from the top of Mt. Haleakala including the surrounding islands, and seeing the summit and crater. The bike trip down was also a lot of fun. There weren’t as many places to stop along the way as I had expected, but we had a nice lunch and the views were great. Our tour guide for the summit tour was wonderful too.

– Becca K | TripAdvisor

Great Views

This is a must do on any visit to Maui. Great ride, great views, and great guides! Tim and Ron are very knowledgeable and patient picture takes! Highly recommend for anyone. It’s a self guided ride and you never feel rushed, you can stop whenever ar you want.

Haleakala is a 10,000 ft volcano and as you bike down Haleakala through scenic Upcountry Maui, you will experience incredible views, a fascinating history, and underappreciated culture. However, you are also riding in unfamiliar territory, through unpredictable weather, on rental bicycles, and on paved public roadways.

Maui is one of the most beautiful places on Earth, largely in part because of its natural beauty. Whether you love sunbathing, hiking, stargazing, or surfing, if you’re in any way a lover of nature, Maui has the attractions and activities for you.

If you’re planning a trip to Maui , you’ll probably have heard of the Haleakala National Park. However, amidst the variety of activities to do at Maui , it can be hard to decide whether or not you’d like to fit it on your Maui itinerary. 

If you’re unsure, I’d totally recommend going to the Haleakala National Park for at least a day, maybe longer. It has such an immense variety of activities, natural attractions, and tours that I can almost guarantee you’ll enjoy your time there. 

Personally, I’ve always thought it’s one of the best national parks in Hawaii !

Read this post to get some information about the activities and attractions at Haleakala National Park, as well as tips and tricks to ensure you have the best experience possible!

Haleakalā is known as the house of the sun.

Haleakala National Park’s past is quite fascinating. Before you visit the area, you should familiarize yourself with the geological history, traditional folk tales, and cultural significance surrounding the area – that way, you can fully appreciate the park itself!

Historically speaking, Haleakala National Park is built on and around a massive dormant volcano that last exploded sometime between 1400 and 1680. It has exploded over ten times in the last 1,000 years. Some of the valleys and mountains were actually formed by past eruptions!

While the Haleakala volcano is not the largest or most destructive in Hawaii, scientists think it caused immense damage the last time it erupted, and predict that it’ll erupt again in 400-500 years. They carefully monitor the area, watching for signs of an unexpected eruption.

Haleakala National Park also has areas of significant cultural importance. There are too many of these to properly cover in this article, though. So if you’re interested, I’d absolutely recommend doing your research!

One of the most significant, though, is also incidentally what created the name for the park – “Haleakala” means the “House of the Sun” in Hawaiian. The name originated because of a myth involving Maui, who legend says lassoed the sun to watch it descend. 

Now, the Haleakala National Park is open to visitors every hour and day of the year for tourists such as us to enjoy!

How to Get Ready For Haleakala Crater

My top recommendation for any tourist preparing to visit the Haleakala National Park is to fully plan your itinerary and activities before you start packing. You’ll be packing very different items depending on what you want to do. 

For example, if you’re interested in hiking in the upper reaches of mountainous terrain, you’ll want to bring the proper gear and clothing – more on that later. 

Haleakala National Park is well-known for its terrain and landscapes, which some find so unique that they describe it as otherworldly. Whether you’re looking for beautiful green meadows, volcanic cinder cones, immense mountains, lush valleys, or fields of lava rock, Haleakala likely has the natural setting for you.

Things to do at Haleakala National Park

Although one of the most popular activities here is doubtlessly watching the sunrise/sunset, there are a multitude of activites you should prepare for. For example, if you don’t manage to secure a booking to watch the sunrise, you can always schedule a hike before sunset.

Check Out Hawaiian Wildlife

Haleakala National Park is the place for you if you’re interested in learning about and viewing unique Hawaiian wildlife that can’t be found anywhere else in the world. Designated as a sanctuary for many species of rare flora and fauna.

One of the best examples is Hawaii’s state bird, the Nene, also known as the Hawaiian goose. In 1967, this bird species was teetering on extinction with only 30 specimens remaining. This is due to overhunting, disease, and destroying their natural habitats.

Now, thanks to the protection of the Endangered Species Act and the hard work of scientists and park rangers, over 3,000 birds remain statewide, a large percentage of which find their home at the Haleakala National Park. 

As you visit the park, you may be lucky enough to see the majestic and beautiful state bird for yourself. Additionally, you might see other species of native Hawaii birds. These include the peuo, multiple types of forest birds, and the ‘ua’u, also called the Hawaiian petrel.

The ‘ua’u are small seabirds that navigate at night using the light of the stars. As such, they can often get confused by the lights of the city, and can exhaust themselves and become grounded as a result. If you ever find a grounded ‘ua’u, visit the NPS website for instructions.

Haleakala Camping

For those who truly want to experience nature first-hand, camping may be your activity. There is no better way to connect with, live in, and experience nature first-hand. This is especially true in a setting as beautiful as the Haleakala National Park.

For experienced hikers who wish to experience a difficult trail as much as camping, I’d recommend going to Paliku . This is roughly 10.4 miles down the Halemauu Trail. Or you can hike 9.3 miles down the Sliding Sands Trail . The Sliding Sands Trail is definitely the more difficult hike.

Holua is an option for those who don’t want to experience such a strenuous hike. Located 3.7 miles down the Halemauu Trail, it is just as gorgeous as Paliku. Plus it’s much easier to access for the average person.

For those who wish to experience nature without the inconveniences of overnight hiking, I’d recommend taking a scenic hike or biking. You can do this either on your own and at your own pace or with a tour guide.

Skywatching

Last but definitely not least of the three categories is skywatching. Haleakala’s skyscapes are unmatched in beauty, free of light pollution, and enthralling whether you’re observing the sunset, sunrise, or the stars.

The best place to admire the sky is at the Haleakala Crater Summit. Even along the trail, the view is unmatched if you veer away from the traffic. 

Utop the summit, the horizon stretches uninhibited for over 150 miles. This allows you a completely unobscured view of the sky at any time of the day. From there, you can book tickets and enjoy the sunrise early in the morning. You can hike up and admire the sunset, or camp overnight and watch the stars.

Stargazing is often underrated and under-discussed, despite being one of the best activities to do on Maui at night. If you’re planning on doing so, stop by the Haleakala visitor center or search online for a map of the constellations!

Visiting Haleakala National Park can truly be a life-changing adventure. To ensure that you truly enjoy your experience, here are three tips for a perfect Haleakala adventure!

Haleakala National Park Tips

There are endless activities and sights for you to enjoy at the Haleakala National Park. I’ve done my best to separate most of them into three main categories.

Keep scrolling if you’re ready for a picture-perfect trip to Haleakala National Park!

Leave No Trace

One of the most important rules to respect when visiting natural treasure troves such as the Haleakala National Park is to leave no trace. Clean up any trash and camping materials to keep the animals and their habitats safe and clean.

Other essential principles are to never feed or get too close to the wildlife and treat the environment with its due respect.

If you’re interested in a chance to see these animals and more up close, book a seat on the Maui Haleakala Tour . If you’re interested, check out the latest prices and details !

Pack Smartly

That brings us to tip number two! If you’re planning on exploring the summit of Haleakala National Park, you must pack the proper items.

Although the warm tropical weather of ground-level Maui may convince you otherwise, you absolutely need more clothes than beach shorts and flip-flops.

If you’re planning on camping, I’d recommend bringing anything you can reasonably fit into your suitcase. Although there are rental shops for camping gear in the camp, it’s a costly investment that can be easily avoided. Remember, little fees pile up!

I’d argue that some other supplies are a must. For example, the weather at Haleakala can become suffocatingly hot. So I’d bring plenty of water to any excursion, reef-safe sunscreen , and a high-quality sunhat. 

Finally, make sure you put together and pack a simple first-aid kit , especially for long hikes or overnight camping. Find the best prices and deals here !

Dress Warmly

A basic rule of tourism and travel is that the higher the altitude of the area, the colder it will be. Temperatures at the Haleakala Summit are on average twenty degrees Farenheit colder than at sea level.

If you’re planning on skygazing at the Haleakala Crater Summit, prepare for cold weather. Otherwise, the feeling of chilliness may ruin your experience!

When packing and preparing for your excursions, make sure to bring a thick and warm jacket, gloves and boots!

How to Make Haleakala Sunrise Reservations

Haleakala Sunrise reservations are only $1 a car but are absolutely required in order to see the sunset. Because of how quickly they sell out, I’d recommend buying tickets here at least two weeks before your planned date.

Without tickets, you will not be let in through the gate until after 7 a.m. , by which time the sunrise will be long over.

If you don’t manage to book tickets for the date of your visit, don’t worry – you can still experience a beautiful skyscape by planning to visit during the sunset, or even booking a Haleakala Sunset Tour . 

Best Haleakala National Park Tours

If you’re interested in participating in a tour to decrease your own stress and responsibilities, here are some of the best the park offers!

Haleakala Sunrise Tour

If you’re stressed about booking tickets or driving to the summit to see the sunrise, the Haleakala Sunrise Tour , despite being somewhat costly, is the best option.

Consisting of a delicious breakfast, a knowledgeable tour guide, and a hotel pick-up and drop-off, it is truly one of the best ways to experience the sunrise. Check out the latest prices and more details .

Haleakala Sunrise Bike Tour

If you’re interested in an intense biking journey , this is the tour for you. It descends over 6,500 feet from the park entrance to a small North Shore town called Haiku. Here you can rejuvenate yourself by eating delicious Hawaiian cuisine. Check out the latest prices and more details .

Sunset at Haleakala Tour with Dinner

If you perhaps missed the sunrise for any reason or simply want to avoid the crowds the sunrise attracts, this tour brings up to the summit to watch the sunset and enjoy a delicious three-course meal. Check out the latest prices and more details . 

Haleakala Stargazing Tours

If you’re planning on stargazing or overnight camping, download this audio tour . It has accurate directions as to where to best see the stars. Check out the latest prices and more details . 

Haleakalā National Park FAQs

I, and many other tourists, found the sunrise at the summit of Haleakalā Carter immensely beautiful and breathtaking. However, the sky at the summit is beautiful at almost any time of the day, whether you’re stargazing or admiring the sunset!

Lots! You can hike, stargaze, camp, watch a breathtaking sunrise, go mountain biking, and talk to local park rangers!

Unfortunately, no! The area with the most easily accessible active volcanoes is definitely at the Hawaii Volcanoes National Park. However, Haleakalā itself is a dormant volcano, so there are multiple locations at the park where you can see lava rock formations.

Tips for Haleakala National Park Wrap Up

With these three tips, your experience at the Haleakala National Park will doubtlessly be fun and memorable.

Lastly, there are some safety reminders and information from the National Parks Service you should also keep in mind. This is especially vital if you’re driving up to watch the sunrise.

  • Weather is often windy and wet, especially at higher elevations. 
  • There are no weather predictions available for times before 7 a.m.
  • Temperatures immediately before dawn and immediately after dusk are regularly below freezing.
  • There are no essentials for sale within the park.
  • It takes roughly 1.5 hours to commute between the summit and Kahului. 
  • Roads within the park often do not have rails or guards. Drive with the utmost caution.
  • Parking is restricted to designated lots only, and will be closed when full.

maui bike trip

hey hey celadoncupcake

you never know what supplies are in room/condo. many housecleaners throw it away after guest leave. when is this trip gonna happen?

like jumta says bring basics (S&P, small bottle oil, packets of sauces, pasta, rice/rice-a-roni, mash potatoes, soup, salad dressing, tuna, small bottles ketchup/mustard/mayo, coffee/creamer/sugar, aluminum foil, roll paper towel & TP, paring or larger knife, dish soap/laundry detergent if W/D, bottle of wine/liquor/tonic) just to get you by till next day for bigger shopping or farmers market.

don't know how long you'll be staying but don't overbuy to waste. since i worked grocery retail for many years, don't like someone else picking out my groceries and bagging them. seen the worst of the worst when delivered. sounds crazy, with prices sky high everywhere not only hawaii, it's nice to have bare necessities with you.

just my own opinion to be happy & calm when you arrive. have a great vacation

also ziploc bags and grocery/insulated bags, they charge

aloha & hang loose

Many of the rooms don't have kitchens, of course.
