Haleakala and Iao Valley Tour Details
See both of Maui’s volcanoes in one efficient day! This tour includes 3 short hikes, giving you opportunities to stretch your legs and get some incredible views.
Start your day by going up 10,000 feet to the summit of Haleakala (without the 3 AM wake-up call). You’ll get a chance to explore the Haleakala Visitor Center, which has fascinating exhibits and information about the volcano. From there, you’ll head on a few walks for stunning views. On a clear day, you’ll even be able to see the Big Island from Haleakala!
Lunch for the day comes from a Kahului food truck park, giving you choice and flexibility for everyone in your group. Lunch is not included in the tour price, but we love a Maui food truck, so you won’t be disappointed.
Next, you’ll make your way to Iao Valley to view the iconic 1,200-foot natural basalt landmark, known as the Iao Needle. When you consider its height from sea level, it’s over 2,200 feet tall.
