Amazing tour - Preston, our guide, was an absolute pleasure. He provided great stories, advice on best places for views and was truly kind. First half of the ride was quiet and dark to allow for some sleep in a very comfortable and nice bus with large windows. And then the sunrise itself was absolutely spectacular and meet with an amazing Hawaiian Chant while the sun rose. Truly something we will never forget. After the sunrise we had an enjoyable ride back down with amazing stories and knowledge all the way to breakfast. Which was a pleasant surprise of amazing property and food. Truly a great tour. Biggest tip it is very cold before the sunrise and we were told it was one of the warmer ones hats, pants, jacket is smart!

Excellent experience - Initially, we intended to drive ourselves up Haleakala, but choosing the bus tour turned out to be the best decision. Our driver was wonderful – he patiently explained all the key points of interest, prepared hot coffee at the summit, and even kindly lent me his jacket, which I greatly appreciated due to the cold

This is a must for everyone visiting Maui - We had an amazing and a very knowledgeable tour guide - Preston. He made every minute of this tour super fun and enjoyable. I would definitely recommend to do this trip with Preston. Yes, when you are awake the entire night for watching the most spectacular sunrise of your life, you would want someone who understands you and would go above and beyond to make the remainder of the night informative and filled with great jokes and puns! Loved it. It's a bit expensive for a tour. But the quality of tour guide, expertise, ease of booking and arrangement of logistics makes up for it. Overall. 5 on 5.

Amazing tour with an amazing tour guide - This was an amazing tour. Our tour guide was Alfredo and he was the best. Very personable and made the whole experience much more enjoyable. My husband and I took our three children ages ten, nine and five who also enjoyed it. Definitely bundle up as it’s cold at the top of the mountain. I would definitely recommend this tour. Thanks Alfredo!
