About Polynesian Adventure Tours - Haleakala Sunset Tour M5
Watch the day fade from Haleakala with Polynesian Adventure Tours on a guided Maui sunset tour featuring upcountry scenery, crater views and mountain air.
Watch the final light of the day spread across Haleakala without the early wake-up call of a sunrise tour. This guided journey climbs from Maui's lower slopes to the summit area of one of the largest volcanoes in the world, where the crater and surrounding sky take on dramatic evening colors.
Along the ascent, stop at the Haleakala Rangers Station at 7,000 feet before continuing to the Haleakala Visitors Center at 9,740 feet above sea level. From this high vantage point, take in sweeping crater views and a memorable sunset, followed by beautiful views of Upcountry Maui during the descent.
