Comfortable, breathtaking views, cold but eventually delicious - Everett was our tour guide, and he was very knowledgeable, attentive, and kind! He made sure we were well taken care of. He also offers so much interesting information/culture throughout the experience. They pick up from the hotel to the summit for ample time to find a great spot. The game changer was their fleece ponchos that helped keep us warm (I love the cold but it was much colder than I expected!) You end by eating breakfast at a beautiful plantation. The hot coffee was perfect to defrost. My partner ordered the pancakes with coconut syrup. I loved his dish so I highly recommend the pancakes. They let you roam the grounds, and I was able to peruse the market and take some pictures.

Fantastic Guides - We took the sunrise at Haleakala tour. Even though the weather prevented us from seeing the sunrise the guides were extremely friendly and professional. They fitted us all with warm ponchos before we got to the top, lifesaver. They made what was a disappointing trip a fun adventure and the macadamia nut pancakes for breakfast also helped.

Unforgettable - This excursion is a must. Seeing the sunrise from the crater is absolutely breathtaking. Be aware that it is extremely cold and windy up there, so dress appropriately in layers. I also recommend mittens. From the moment I made the reservation, the tour operators were two steps ahead with updates and reminders. They were punctual. Uncle Billy, our van driver, maneuvered the roads seamlessly. G, our tour guide, provided information about landscape, plants, wildlife, and what’s being done to preserve the natural habitat. It was almost an encyclopedic knowledge of the island.

Great way to see the sunrise - Valley Isle Excursions did a really great job and this day was a highlight of our trip. Not having to worry about driving is really the way to go. They knew the perfect time to arrive and the best place to stand to view the sunrise. They also provided insulated ponchos, which we greatly appreciated. Even though we brought heavy jackets, it is cold and windy up there. The narration on the way down was very informative. Breakfast provided at The Plantation was great. My wife and I were pleasantly surprised as in our experience, “toss-in” meals with tours aren’t that great but this was really nice.

Fantastic Maui experience to Haleakala - Our guide/driver Spencer was fantastic! We had a great time and the entire experience was well planned. The company thinks of everything needed to visit Haleakala for the sunrise. A great job by a great locally owned business!! Mahalo

Great staff - The tour driver and guide were so lovely and worked hard to make the tour memorable. The volcano gods were not on our side, though! No photos, and we were miserably good and wet! Only real complaint, breakfast ride back down is far, far!
