Departing your Kahului cruise port in the wee hours, you will drive directly to Haleakala National Park, approximately 60 minutes away. Your Maui Haleakala sunrise shore excursion guide will keep talking to a minimum for those needing a few more minutes of shuteye. After clearing park security, it is another 45 minutes to reach the Red Hill, Pu'u Ula Ula, at the summit of Haleakala. Here, you will have a light snack while you wait for the sun's grand entrance over Maui, Hawaii.

At 10,023 feet (3055 meters) elevation, you are above the clouds with an angel's view of the horizon. Soon, there is a gradual move from dark of night to lighter shades of blue in the sky to the east. This leads up to an explosion of color as the sun makes its entrance above the clouds. In addition to the ever-changing colors in the sky, you are also treated to the multi-colored Haleakala volcano and crater terrain as well as, cloud cover permitting, views of the Big Island of Hawaii, Lanai, Molokai and beyond in the distance. It is breath-taking and full of photo ops so do not forget your camera.

From here, descend to the House of the Sun visitor's center, located on the rim of the Haleakala Crater, for a photo stop. As the sun rises further into the sky, the multi-colored lava landscape changes colors. During your drive back to the park gate, your guide will share information and history of the island and the native Hawaiian people and their culture.

In Maui's Upcountry, a stop will be made at a local's favorite restaurant for breakfast and a chance to share what you have just seen with other guests. Then a scenic drive through the fertile agricultural region of Upcountry Maui takes you back to your Kahului Maui cruise pier, approximately one hour drive away.

This Kahului Maui Haleakala Volcano Crater Sunrise Cruise Shore Excursion is a great way to discover Maui and the Haleakala National Park, escaping the crowds!
