From The Ocean to the "House Of The Sun”: Haleakala & ʻĪao Valley
A journey from the blues of the Pacific to the sun trenched orange of Haleakala to the lush green of Iao Valley

Along the way, our expert local guide will bring Hawaiian history and legends to life, offering insider tips to enrich your experience.

Your adventure begins at Haleakalā National Park, where golden sunlight illuminates the steep slopes and native wildlife roams the stunning landscape. Take a short, easy guided walk/hike along the Pā Ka‘oao Trail, passing ancient rock wall shelters and witnessing one of the world’s largest craters. Marvel at the elegant Nēnē geese in their natural habitat and uncover the secrets of the rare and unique Silversword plant.
This tour is a must for anyone visiting Maui, offering a deep dive into Hawaiian culture, native plants, and wildlife. As you ascend the winding mountain road, you’ll discover Maui’s natural wonders and create memories to last a lifetime.
Enjoy free time in Makawao Town, a laid-back upcountry community steeped in cowboy tradition. Explore its charming shops, savor lunch at a local eatery (at your own expense), and soak in the ambiance of this former paniolo (Hawaiian cowboy) town.
The journey continues at ʻĪao Valley State Park, where a leisurely stroll along a meandering stream leads you through a lush forest teeming with native Hawaiian plants. Gaze up at the iconic ʻĪao Needle, a dramatic 1,200-foot natural outcrop draped in emerald-green vegetation, standing tall over the historic valley, once a sacred burial site for Hawaiian royalty.
