Don’t book this tour. The hotel pickup was by some lady who kept changing the music loud and soft non stop (cuz she wanted it loud but knew it was too loud for 2:30am), and we were just driving round and round Safeway not knowing how many people we should be picking up or their names (we just drove around until no more cars were lit up). There is an unnecessary second bus transfer at their shop, which was 30 minutes waiting for another type of tour group which had to get bike equipment. On the summit, it’s not that cold but extremely windy. The jackets (windbreakers) we were given were not enough and stinky. Returning for breakfast, we still had to wait another 20 minutes even though we pre-ordered. This whole tour could have been one hour shorter (matters if it starts at 2:30am) and not having to sit through endless dad jokes on the bus ride.

A must do in Maui despite early wake-up time. Stunning views of the sunrise and the flora at 10,000 ft. The guides are phenomenal. Next time I will likely do the bike tour as well. Dress warm (temp is in the high 30s to low 40s in the morning in April).

Our tour guide/driver Michael is friendly and very informative and made it a point to connect with each and every one of his "Ohana" during our tour. He shared the history of the islands with us, and even though it was a long drive to the visitor center and back down,he remained calm and energized to keep us entertained. Mahalo!

We went on the Haleakala Sunrise tour, that picks you up at your hotel. The driver Mike was right on time at 2:30 am. After stopping at 6 hotels quickly for other pickups we stopped at their bike shop base to get jackets and pants wind breakers.
Mike was extremely friendly and informative with stories and rest times as needed. He got us to the Summit at dark so we could still see stars and then waited an hr for the sunrise l, which was spectacular.
Then we made a few scenic stops on the way down and went to a delicious breakfast At Paia Bay Coffee shop.
The tour was overall really great and highly recommended and especially Mike the driver.

Absolutely gorgeous event so worth getting up for. Bus was clean and comfortable, Cory was entertaining as well as informative, pick up was quick and very convenient. Lots of great stops, adequate time given at each, an abundance of information shared by Cory and breakfast was spectacular! I plan to do this tour again on a future trip (with a better camera). *** highly recommend dressing very warm, it’s not just cold, but the damp wind makes it feel colder than if was just at 40 degrees.

The tour I participated in was well narrated, precisely timed, and expertly guided by Michael Reed. It was well worth the investment.

Michael Reed was great! Knowledgeable and a great driver! The entire operation is professional and leaves nothing to chance except weather, which no one can control.

Our tour guide Michael was 5/5! He was funny, super informative and friendly ( took photos for us, and dropped us at our hotel first ). Even though the tour said hotel pick up, we still had to drive to the shop location because they were only doing pick up in Kihei and Lahaina that day. We stayed In Kula and the shuttle bus actually pass our hotel on the way to Haleakala. When we got the shop location, we found it disorganized and confusing. There was also a busy bike tour at 2am that morning. I felt that the shop could have provided hot coffee or tea because we had to be there at 3am and it's very cold in that area. They didn't tell us about the free rain jackets and pants so we very cold and wet when we got to top of the mountain. We still had to wait for an 1 hour on the bus because it was still very cloudy. By the time sunrise came, we weren't able to see anything. Apparently 3 times out of the year, it's so cloudy/misty that you arent able to see anything. We were quite disappointed. The breakfast restaurant they took us after was great. The tour guide and ride itself was very smooth. But we paid 250$ each person for this tour, had to wake up very early at 2am and end up seeing no sunrise. I feel like if this only happens 3 times a year, the company should have least given a discount or partial refund. We saw better sunrise from our hotel to be honest.
