DESCRIPTION
A visit to Maui is not complete without experiencing Haleakala Crater - a magnificent amphitheater of silence, and a place of beauty that always evokes awe. This crater tour offers an adventure through two very different environments high up on this dormant volcano. On a clear day, it seems you can see forever.

- Two-mile hike at the 10,000-foot summit where huge cinder cones dominate the desert-like, expansive scenery.
- Another two-mile hike at 8,000 ft. on a lava trail lined with rare native plant species.
- Views stretch for miles in all directions.
- Nutritious lunch and snacks included.
