The two-hour hike is steep in parts but is well worth it for the 360-degree view of the Pacific Ocean and Waikiki Beach. The vast views that are waiting for you at the top of this 300,000-year-old crater, and iconic Hawai’ian landmark, are something to behold. You’ll remember this one forever! We recommend getting to the peak for sunrise, if you can must the energy for an early hike.

Offering over 240 kilometres of trails, the Hawaii Volcanoes National Park has something for everyone, from short 1.5k loops to all-day adventures. See lava trails, steaming vents, and volcanic craters; as well as well-preserved native tree species and wildlife.

Offering 48kms of hiking trails, the summit of the Haleakalā volcano is not to be missed. Drive up in darkness and witness the fantastic sunrise before taking a walk through the fabulous trails. Keep an eye out for the native, and increasingly rare endemic species of birds and plants that live on the summit. A rare and sacred landscape, this special place vibrates with ancient Hawai’ian history and culture. Known as the Heart of Maui, you’ll be astounded by all the birds that surround you.

Although this trail stretches for nearly 18km along the Na Pali Coast, you need a permit if you want to walk past Hanakapiai Beach (approx. 3kms). Nestled between the volcanoes and placed along the stunning coastline, this trail is nothing short of breathtaking. Be sure to allow around 3-4 hours for the return trip.
