Visit the historic Haleakala Visitor Center, constructed in the 1930s and situated dramatically on the edge of the volcanic crater, then soak in panoramic views from the summit where you'll feel like you're on top of the world at 10,023 feet elevation.

The magnificent Haleakala Crater is an awe-inspiring geological wonder that stretches 11.25 miles across, 3.2 miles wide, and plunges nearly 2,600 feet deep, creating one of the world's most spectacular volcanic landscapes. The Pa Ka'oao Trail (also known as White Hill Trail) is a short 0.4-mile walk that starts at the visitor parking lot and leads to an elevated overlook offering breathtaking views of the crater floor. This mini hike is just half a mile and well worth the effort, providing visitors with an exceptional vantage point to truly appreciate the massive scale and otherworldly beauty of the crater. The views from atop this conical mound are significantly better than those from the visitor center, making it an ideal way for tour guests to experience the raw volcanic power and stark beauty that defines Haleakala's "house of the sun" landscape.

Das Haleakalā High Altitude Observatory, auch „Science City“ genannt, wurde 1958 aufgrund der optimalen Beobachtungsbedingungen des Schildvulkans errichtet. Die nahezu völlige Abwesenheit von Lichtverschmutzung sowie die Höhenlage machen es zu einem der bedeutendsten und wertvollsten Planetarien der Welt. Das Haleakalā-Observatorium, auch bekannt als Haleakalā High Altitude Observatory Site, ist Hawaiis erstes astronomisches Forschungsobservatorium und erstreckt sich über 7 Hektar in 3.000 Metern Höhe. Betrieben und verwaltet wird es von der Universität von Hawaii. Besucher können den Observatoriumskomplex vom Gipfel des Haleakala und dem Besucherzentrum aus besichtigen, doch die Anlage selbst widmet sich bahnbrechender astronomischer Forschung, die unser Verständnis des Universums von diesem unberührten Höhenstandort aus weiter vorantreibt.
