Wrap up warm for your very early morning pick-up, then head to the summit of the Haleakala crater where you’ll be rewarded with stunning views of a new day beginning. Witness the majestic colours as dawn breaks, soak up the quiet and lose yourself in the moment. Steeped in Hawaiian folklore, the crater at the summit was home to the Grandmother of DemiGod, Maui. According to legend, Maui's Grandmother helped him to capture the sun in order to slow its journey to lengthen the day.
This breathtaking excursion is sure to be one of the highlights of your trip.
