If you stay just ten to twenty minutes later you’ll be treated to an incredible show as the colors of dawn stretch across the landscape of the Haleakalā National Park. One of the most common mistakes visitors make (besides wearing shorts) is to leave immediately after the sun rises. And most importantly don’t forget your camera. So fill up your tank and bring some food and drink for an early morning breakfast. Temperatures are often in the 40-degree range.Īlthough there are restroom facilities, there is no food or gas sold within the park. Be sure to bring pants, shoes, layers of clothing, and blankets. The temperature drops 3º for every 1000 feet of elevation, so at the Haleakalā Visitor Center’s 9,740-foot elevation (where most people watch the sunrise), it’s about 30º colder than at sea level. This is Hawaiʻi but it gets very cold at the summit. The color of the sky and clouds before daybreak are stunning. In the summer the sun rises as early as 5:38 AM, in the winter as late as 6:55 AM. Try to arrive at the Haleakalā Visitor Center no later than a half hour before the sun rises - earlier for a good spot. It’s an early wake-up call, but the reward is well worth it. Drive past the Park Visitors Center at 7,000 feet to get to the Haleakalā Visitors Center at 9,740 feet. The park entrance fee is separate and payable on the day of visit.ĭepending where you get started from on Maui, it can take you up to two hours to drive the Haleakalā Highway (HI 37) and then up the winding Haleakalā Crater Road leading to the summit of Haleakalā. The one-day $1.50 sunrise reservation can be made up to 60 days in advance. The National Park Service requires a reservation for visitors in personal and rental vehicles to enter the Summit District from 3:00 am to 7:00 am to view the sunrise. Here are a few tips to make the most of your Haleakalā expedition. One of Maui’s most memorable experiences is seeing the Haleakalā sunrise or sunset from almost 10,000 feet above sea level, and like anything worthwhile, it take some planning.
