Everybody goes to Haleakala to see the sunrise and start their day. Have you ever considered a later show? Introducing the only Maui tour that allows you to capture the stunning views and spectacular colors of the Haleakala Sunset.


A sensational solar experience and incredible panoramic views from atop Haleakala at 9,740 feet elevation. Marvel at the show of dazzling light and breathtaking colors.
