No, the tour starts and ends in Kahului. If you’d like to begin this tour at Haleakala National Park you can join the tour along the route, but you’ll miss out on some stories.

What time is the sunset?

It depends on the time of year, but sunset in the winter (October-March) is between 5:30 p.m. and 6:15 p.m. and in the summer (April-September) it’s between 5:30 p.m. and 6:30 p.m. We recommend you double check the night before your visit. Please note, if you’re staying in West Maui at one of the resorts in Lahaina, Kaanapali or Kapalua it takes about 45 minutes to reach the start of the tour in Kahului and then, depending on the stops you make, it takes about 2-3 hours to reach the summit. This tour is designed with no stops on the way back with the expectation you’ll be driving at night.

About The Tour

A sunset atop Haleakala — known as house of the sun in Hawaiian — is pure magic. You’ll be walking on sunshine, that is of course until the stars come out. Then, weather permitting, you’ll behold some of the best stargazing in the world. You'll be so close to the stars you'll swear you can touch them!

Here are just a few of the fun things you can do on the tour!

•⁠ Watch the sunset atop Mt. Haleakala
•⁠ Look for constellations at Haleakala's summit
•⁠ Hike the Hosmer Grove or Sliding Sands trails
•⁠ Visit a lavender or dairy farm

SUNSET AND STARGAZING HALEAKALA TOUR FAQs

Mona..Think of us as your personal tour guide in an app. Our tours provide everything a guided tour does, but with the freedom to explore on your terms. Here’s how it works: 

- GPS triggers audio narration to play automatically as you drive or walk. Listen to stories, get local insights, visit must-see stops and get turn-by-turn navigation.
- The app works offline so even with spotty service we’ll get you where you need to go.
- The app works offline so even with spotty service we’ll get you where you need to go. 
Pretty cool huh?

We think so! Check out our tours and let’s explore together.

I happened to hear about the Shaka Tours Maui app when we first arrived on the island, and I’m so glad we did. We bought the Maui Bundle, and it was absolutely worth it. The directions were spot on (my kids were convinced the narrator was literally following us 😂). We started with the Classic Road to Hana tour (wish we’d downloaded the Loop too!), then did the West Maui Coastline Tour, and also the Sunset & Stargazing at Haleakalā tour. Every time we got in the car, the kids asked us to turn on the tour guide; that says it all. One of my kids said the tours were his favorite part of our 11 days on the island. The narration was entertaining and engaging, with awesome stories, legends, and really helpful tips and tricks along the way. These tours truly made our trip to Maui! We are officially hooked!! It enhanced our entire Maui experience and made exploring so easy and fun for the whole family. Highly recommend!

Used Shaka Guide to experience West Maui and the Road to Hana. It really was like having a personal tour guide to show you the highlights and keep you safe on the road. The narrator was entertaining and informative. Will use again for other national parks!
