Itinerary
1
Haleakalā Summit
Wow! You will be amazed at the moonlike and yet colorful rock and sand landscape that is the summit of Haleakala. When you arrive at the summit Visitor Center you will be at 9700 feet!
20 minutes
2
Kalahaku Overlook
There are several excellent viewpoints along the climb to the summit - each one offering a different perspective of the formation, erosion and effect of the volcano.
45 minutes
3
Silversword Drive
Something unique to see on a trip to the Haleakala Volcano is the Haleakala silversword. At high altitudes which no other plants can withstand, the silverswords grow magnificently. What might look like to some as a type of catcus, it's actually a part of the daisy family.
55 minutes
4
Makawao
Makawao is one of the last Paniolo towns in all of Hawaii.
Paniolos are the Hawaiian cowboys, taught horsemanship and cattle ranching by Mexican cowboys who were invited to come and help control the livestock that was beginning to run rampant across the island.
