Dindo (?) was a great guide, friendly and knowledgeable. We made it safely to Haleakala, and the weather was great (but windy, do bring extra layers)! We had a great lunch and went to a distillery for a tour (I’m not a drinker, but it was okay). Then we went to a state park (iao?), which was also beautiful! It’s a long day and expensive, but I’d say it’s worth it. Thank you!
