Haleakalā Sunrise: Summit Crater & Volcano Bike Descent

Watch the sun rise above the clouds from Haleakalā's 10,023-ft summit — a sacred, otherworldly moment — then descend 23 miles through upcountry Maui on a guided bike ride. Bucket-list Hawaii at its most elemental.

What to expect

Your expert local guide collects you pre-dawn from the pier and ascends through shifting cloud layers to the summit. As the sky ignites in golds and crimsons above a sea of clouds, you stand inside one of the world's largest dormant volcanic craters. After the sunrise, you swap the van for a bike and glide effortlessly downhill through fragrant eucalyptus forests and upcountry ranch land. Breakfast is included en route, and you're back at the pier with hours to spare.
