About Polynesian Adventure Tours - Haleakala Sunset Tour M5

Along the way, stop at the Haleakala Rangers Station at 7,000 feet before continuing to the Haleakala Visitor Center at 9,740 feet. From the summit area, take in wide crater views as the evening light changes across the landscape, then enjoy sweeping views of Upcountry Maui during the descent.
