Experience The Two Contrasting Landscapes Of Haleakalā

This popular hiking tour features two different hikes that showcase the diverse terrains of the Haleakalā Crater - the world's largest dormant volcano! Each hike offers a unique perspective on this unique natural phenomenon.

You will then embark on another two-mile hike at 8,000 feet along a lava trail lined with rare native plant species. Revel in spectacular panoramic views extending for miles in every direction. On a clear day, the expansive views seem to stretch for eternity. Lunch, snacks and an informative guide are included to provide you with one of the greatest experiences on the island of Maui.

Spot Rare And Native Animal And Plant Species

Mount Haleakalā is home to some very rare animals and plants found nowhere else on earth. Its extreme and diverse environment means that it has more endangered species than any other US National Park. You may spot the ‘ahinahina, or Haleakala silversword, a threatened plant species only native to Haleakalā. You may also encounter the well known Nene, or Hawaiʻian goose, Hawaii's state bird and considered to be the world's rarest goose.

Mount Haleakalā is also home to the ‘Ope'ape'a, Hawaiʻian bat, Hawaiʻi's only endemic land animal. As you wander through this otherworldly landscape, you will be amazed at how much wildlife survives in this barren, moon-like terrain.

Description

Hike into both sides of Haleakalā. Each environment is very different from the other, so both should be experienced to gain a true appreciation for this incredible location. Take a two-mile hike at the 10,000-foot summit where huge cinder cones dominate the desert-like, expansive scenery. Another two-mile hike at 8,000 ft. is on a lava trail is lined with rare native plant species. Views stretch for miles in all directions everywhere you go on this tour.

When the time is right each day, the clouds come to Haleakalā. With the massive height of this now dormant shield volcano, those clouds stick to its surface as mist, obscuring the already surreal and Mars-like landscape in a way that is both eerie and utterly captivating. Let us take you too see this and many more sights on a broad, informative exploration driven journey. We also include a nutritious lunch and trail snacks included too, so be sure to recharge!
