Why We Love It -  Magic of the crater and adventure of the jungle for the luxury-inclined guest. Take a limo-van with only 6-8 passengers, enjoy world class guides, and sample a locals-favorite lunch spot, Pick-up included.

An extraordinary combination


Tour majestic Haleakala, the historic cowboy town of Makawao, and neighboring, lush Haiku. Watch ocean waves crash at Keanae peninsula and stop in at the windsurfing capital of the world for a great photo opportunity.


This unique package offers the opportunity to experience the wide variety of Maui's diverse scenery - from Haleakala National Park, past exotic protea farms and through paniolo (cowboy) country to the Hana Coast rainforest, waterfalls & a famous windsurfing beach - all in one day. Beginning with complimentary pick-up between 7:00 & 7:30am and then touring through the Central Valley, in one of our exclusive, 6 to 8 guest, luxury limo-vans, we begin this adventure in paradise with a light morning snack.

Start the day on top the world at the pinnacle of Haleakala National Park at 10,023 feet. The "House of the Sun" visitor's center offers breathtaking panoramas from the rim of the crater. There are many photo opportunities while descending this scenic mountain drive. View cattle and dairy ranches on the way to historic town of Makawao. This unique town still has hitching posts, from back when horses were more common than cars. Today this quaint village is home to quite an eclectic group of little shops and boutiques.

Enjoy a bountiful Upcountry Pacific rim cuisine lunch.

After lunch, travel east through Haiku, where the grass is always a beautiful, emerald green and bountiful avocados, citrus, bananas and exotic tropical flowers flourish. After leaving Haiku, experience the spectacular Hana Coast rainforest. Visit Keanae, a traditional Hawaiian farming community, in which little has changed in the last 500 years. The return journey takes us to Hookipa Beach Park, the windsurfing capital of the world.  Photo opportunities abound as these windsurfers put on an aquatic show. Tour Returns: 4:30 - 5:00pm.
