About Haleakalā National Park
Haleakalā (House of the Sun) rises 10,023 feet above Maui. The summit crater is a vast, otherworldly landscape of cinder cones and lava flows. Sunrise from the summit is a profound, bucket-list experience. The park also protects Kīpahulu district with bamboo forests and Seven Sacred Pools.
Top Highlights
- ✓Summit sunrise — most popular sunrise in the world, requires advance reservation
- ✓Sliding Sands Trail — descend 4 miles into the 7.5-mile wide crater
- ✓ʻŌhiʻa trees and silversword plants — found nowhere else on Earth
- ✓Kīpahulu Seven Sacred Pools — cascading waterfalls and swimming holes
- ✓Pīpīwai Trail — 4-mile hike through massive bamboo forest
- ✓Cycling to the coast — downhill bike rides from summit to sea
Best Time to Visit
Year-round. Sunrise reservations required for summit entry (book 60 days ahead on recreation.gov). Best weather May-September. Kīpahulu is wetter and lush year-round.
💡 Insider Tip
Kula (Upcountry Maui) is closest to the summit. For sunrise, you must arrive by 6am and need a reservation. Stay at an Upcountry Maui B&B the night before to avoid the 3am drive from the coast.
