Haleakala & Iao Valley Details
This Maui volcanoes tour was designed for Pride of America cruise ship passengers to take advantage of seeing more of the island on their second day docked at the harbor.
This tour isn’t exclusive to cruise passengers, and the Kahului meeting point is close to the airport, making it an excellent option for a red-eye flight from Maui!
Budding volcanologists will love exploring the two volcanoes that make up the island. Everyone knows Haleakala, the popular sunrise (and sunset) destination, but fewer dig into Mauna Kahalawai, more commonly known as the West Maui Mountains. This tour gets you a ticket to visit both in one day!
Go to the summit of Haleakala at over 10,000 feet, where you can see all the way out to the Big Island on a clear day. Then head to Iao Valley State Park, one of the entrances to Mauna Kahalawai. Clear space on your phone because this is a day full of postcard-worthy photo opportunities!
Haleakala & Iao Valley FAQ
What is the cancellation policy?
There is a 48-hour cancellation policy for shared tours, a 4-day cancellation policy for private tours, and a 1-week cancellation policy for tours with more than 11 guests.
Is this tour wheelchair accessible?
This tour is somewhat accessible for wheelchair users. One collapsible or folding wheelchair will fit in the vehicle, but it is not provided for guests. While a collapsible wheelchair can be accommodated, the vehicle is not ADA-compliant, and guests should be able to get in and out without assistance from the driver (assistance from your party is okay!). There are points in the tour where there are stairs to access certain viewpoints or lookouts. For more information about visiting Hawaii with a disability, check out our handicap accessibility guide.
Is this tour for kids?
Shared tours have a minimum age of 4 years old, but private tours are open to all ages. This is a long day in the car, so consider how your kids will do with that before booking. Private tours can also be personalized to be a better fit for your kids, whether you need the tour to be shorter or not go up all the way to 10,000 feet on Haleakala.
