A GOOD REASON TO GO

Volcanic summit & island rainforest

Haleakalā offers two very different worlds: a high volcanic summit and the lush Kīpahulu coast. Choose one district for your outing and allow for the long, winding approaches.

What to explore

  • Summit viewpoints
  • Volcanic landscape walks
  • Kīpahulu district

Before you go

The districts are not connected by a road through the park. Check sunrise arrangements, road conditions and the effects of high elevation.

Allow time for the approach, interpretation and breaks. Check the specific facilities and walking surfaces your guests need.

Current access, reservations, fees and operating arrangements should be checked with the official operator or managing agency. Photographs can show earlier conditions.
