5.Haleakala Sunrise Spectacular with Local Breakfast

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 2,155 reviews · 10 hours (approx.) · from $254

Start before dawn with hotel pickup, ride through Kula, and reach Haleakala’s 9,740-foot summit for sunrise above the clouds. Your guide shares Maui history and nature stories, then takes you to a local sit-down breakfast. Preston and Alfredo are among the guides praised for their humor and care, but pickup details and severe cold require careful planning.

“Preston with Polynesian Tours was AMAZING as our tour guide! Wear warm clothes and gloves. I was warm with my layers and warm jacket, beanie, and jeans but my hands were freezing while I was taking photos. Listen to the experienced guide and wait a bit after the sunrise time to get the full effect. Our breakfast location, Maui Tropical Plantation was great! Thank you everyone from registration, pickup to return! Loved our experience!”

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 1,997 reviews · 5 hours 30 minutes (approx.) · from $185

Meet the Calypso crew at Ma’alaea Harbor for a 5.5-hour catamaran cruise to Molokini Crater and Turtle Town.

“We had a spectacular time on our snorkeling adventure from Ma'alaea Harbor to Molokini! The crew was professional, informative, and incredibly attentive to our needs. The boat was clean and well-maintained, and we felt safe throughout the trip. The true highlight was getting to see whales up close—it was a once-in-a-lifetime experience. While the water was a bit choppy near Turtle Island and Molokini, it didn't take away from a fantastic day on the water. Highly recommended!”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 1,832 reviews · 12 hours 30 minutes (approx.) · from $276

Spend about 12.5 hours on Maui’s Road to Hana with a professional guide such as Salesi, Ed, or Eli at the wheel. Expect waterfalls, Keanae coast, Wai’anapanapa’s black sand beach, Hana Farms lunch, and possible turtle sightings. Hotel pickup, breakfast, park fees, and lunch are included, but stops can feel brief.

“The road is has so many curves and twists that it can cause motion sickness for sure. I would recommend non-drowsy dramamine. Our guide Saleis was amazing, he distracted us from the curves with his stories and jokes. The beauty you will see is beyond comprehension. It is worth every curve. The beautiful flowers, birdsong and scenery are the trifecta for an amazing day.”

Couple spots where you have to navigate some rock formations, but nothing difficult. Book it and take your friends!”

Purified water is provided, and a no-whale outing earns you another trip at no charge.

“Lacey (boat captain) and Kaci (naturalist ) were excellent! They sincerely seemed to enjoy their jobs, were very knowledgeable and answered all questions with respect with many interesting details. In addition, we saw many whales, as well as babies and were able to hear the whale communication. It was well worth the money.”
