Summit Lavender Sojourn


Limo-van tour. Maui Tour of Upcountry lavender garden, take in amazing views of Haleakala Crater, photograph proteas in flower, stop in for a wine tasting at Maui Wine then do a little shopping in historic Makawao.


The day begins with complimentary pick-up between 7:00 & 7:30am. Touring in the air-conditioned comfort of an exclusive, 6 - 8 guest, luxury limo-van, takes us to Paia for a light morning snack. Afterwards, it is a leisurely mountain drive to Haleakala National Park and the crater summit. Ascend to the "House of the Sun"  to let the crisp air awaken your senses to the breathtaking panoramas of the crater. Photograph multi-island views atop the 10,023 ft. summit and picture frame the moment forever. Puu Ula Ula, (Red Hill), affords 360 degree views of the Big Island, West Maui, Lanai and Molokai.  Keep an eye out for Silverswords - endemic plants only found within the National Park on the slopes of Haleakala!  
Descend Haleakala to the serene gardens of Alii Kula Lavendar. Explore the fields of organic lavender featuring over 70 lavender varieties and a collection of exotic roses. The fresh and invigorating fragrances will fill senses and uplift the spirit. There is time to visit the gift shop and farmers market with a selection of products and gifts directly from the gardens, made from Lavender & Aloha, just for you.

Enjoy our Pacific rim cuisine luncheon and learn about lavender, a mystical and mysterious herb. 

Your journey continues past rolling green pastures, serene mountain vistas and the seascapes below to the Ulupalakua Ranch and Maui Winery.

The tour continues with a visit to the Hawaiian paniolo (cowboy) town of Makawao. There is plenty of time to stroll and explore this historic place. Visit Viewpoints Gallery, operated exclusively by Maui artists, Hot Island Glass, the only glass blowing studio on Maui or a number of other fine, locally owned shops.
