Dazzling Twilight Show
Embark on an enchanting journey with our Sunset Tour, where the breathtaking beauty of Haleakala National Park unfolds before your eyes. Immerse yourself in the experience while we handle the driving for you in our deluxe touring vehicle. Throughout the tour, our knowledgeable local guide shares captivating Hawaiian history, legends, and insider tips, enriching your exploration. Chilled bottled water and local treats are included, offering a refreshing taste of Hawaii.

Skip the early wake-up call and join us for an equally awe-inspiring sunset experience, free from the hustle and bustle of sunrise crowds.

This small group tour on a mini coach is the perfect way to experience the natural wonders and pristine landscape of Maui.

As you ascend the slopes of Haleakala, marvel at the rare Silversword plant and keep an eye out for the majestic Nene geese gracefully flying overhead. Before the sun bids its farewell, explore the arid desert landscape with panoramic views of Kula and upcountry Maui, creating the perfect prelude to the evening’s spectacle.

Dusk sets in, and as if on cue, the clouds’ part, revealing a mesmerizing display of fading sunlight. Witness a symphony of colors dancing across the sky, creating a magical light show that will leave you in awe. The Haleakala Visitor Center Overlook Areas provide the perfect vantage point to soak in the beauty of the changing landscape, transforming from arid desert to fertile farmland during the descent.

Join us on this extraordinary tour for an unforgettable evening, where nature’s grandeur takes center stage, and the sunset becomes a masterpiece painted in the skies of Haleakala.

Finally, enjoy a delicious “to go” dinner from Kula Bistro.
