Haleakala is known for rapidly changing weather conditions and dense clouds and rain are common. As a result, clear viewing of the sunrise is not guaranteed, and the tour operates rain or shine. Refunds will be granted only when the tour is cancelled for safety reasons.
The high altitude at the summit area may complicate health conditions and breathing difficulties.

Great trip! Our guide, Preston, was very knowledgeable and engaging. Definitely way colder than I would’ve expected at the top! Enjoyed the breakfast too!

Every single part of this tour was absolutely magical and memorable. My tour guide was Nettie. She knew the ins and outs of every single part of this beautiful Maui landscape. She navigated the mountain with ease. She serenaded the attendees. This tour guide gave an essence and flare to this tour that only Nettie at Polynesian Adventure Tours has the ability to provide you with! You really feel like "Ohana" during this tour! There is a beauty that ignites in you during your stay in Maui after seeing the sunrise on this Mauna. This was definitely a bucket list tour. Some advice: always check your tour bus and guest list and get all the details for pick up from your hotel to ease your boarding process and make your early morning that much easier for you, tour guides and other passengers. I did not write down my pickup information right away and got confused and rode the wrong bus for a couple stops (the guides and passengers worked this all out and assisted with getting me on the right tour with the right guide). The professionalism and kindness shown during my confusion really opened up my eyes to the true meaning of Aloha! This is an early tour try to get as much rest as you can the night before! Check in with the tour host and write down your pickup details especially if you have a lot of tours planned and have a lot going on in your stay. If you get car sick or have any kind of motion sickness issues I would recommend you take something over the counter to help. Having some gum, mints or ginger chews is ideal! I don't get car sick or have motion sickness but my mom does and she had to take Dramamine in order to be able to enjoy this ride even with Nettie's smooth sailing up the mountain. Bring some water but don't bring too much extra stuff with you (less is more). Bring warm clothes to wear for the sunrise. You will be at high altitudes and the weather will be much cooler than you think. Save room for a very filling breakfast! The food where we stopped was phenomenal especially after a long bus ride. I had the pancakes and they were beyond delicious. I am so glad this tour ended up working out for me despite the odds but I wouldn't have traded it for the world. I'm so grateful for this experience and hope if you're coming to Maui that you make time to scratch this off of your bucket list!

An incredible experience, definitely worth the early rise. The sunrise over the clouds was awesome. Our guide Preston was both hilarious and informative. Learned a lot more than I expected! Only piece of advice is, dress appropriately! Way colder than I would have thought. We brought hoodies but I think a windbreaker would have been better!

Unfortunately it was a cloudy day so we were unable to see the sunrise. It was surprising to hear the driver say that there was a 50/50 chance people get to see the sunrise. Given that this trip takes up over 8 hours of our day and the price, I probably would not have booked this tour. I knew the risk, I just didn't know it was that high of a chance we would not see the sunrise. However, even if we didn't get the optimal views, I would have at least expected for an engaging and informative tour guide. Ours was terrible. He was so soft spoken and muttered while he spoke that it was nearly impossible to understand him. And his commentary was so dull and lackluster. Not seeing the sunrise was out of our control. The four hours in the bus with an unenthusiastic tourguide was brutal. My wife and I were incredibly disappointed.

Sunrise was stunning and I know it is really hard to get parking slot so I was grateful for it, but the driver we had was really rude and did not give much of information about the mountain itself. He was keep cutting off people’s questions and express frustration when himself was not clear about instructions. It really ruined the vibe. Breakfast was also super large scale mediocre breakfast. There were other tours that hand out blankets and jumpers, or guide were more instructive by the look of it. Go with other tour company.

An amazing experience- pictures can’t fully capture the beauty. It is well worth getting up in the middle of the night for. Our guide Preston was great. Funny and informative and he made stops whenever he saw something interesting for us to see. He even gave us his extra jackets because we did not bring enough layers. It is very cold- wear layers and bring a hat and blanket. Definitely a must-do experience.
