We did the Haleakala National Park Sunrise Tour, and while the tour itself was wonderful, the sunrise was disappointing. About 20 minutes before sunrise, a giant cloud consumed the side of the mountain we were on and lasted well into the sunrise, making it impossible to see the sunrise. Once the sun had fully risen, the cloud dissipated and it was really pretty, but that was 15-20 minutes after sunrise. It was so disappointing to wake up at 1:30 AM and spend 2 hours driving to the summit for that to happen. That being said, it wasn't the fault of the tour or our tour guide, Michael, at all! He still made the trip so very special for us. He was so organized, informative, and courteous. He also brought us gloves, space blankets, and some heating pads to make sitting outside in the cold somewhat durable. The national park itself is absolutely beautiful, and having someone drive us up the mountain was worth it.

You can't control the weather and unfortunately, you dont get to see the sunrise if it's a rainy day. IF it wasn't raining or cloudy, it would've been the highlight of my trip and the best experience compared to everything else.

Everything was so great. We spend the best time ever in Maui. Marlon (the tour guide) was so kind and funny. The early morning worth it. And the breakfast at the cafe o’le was so good. The sunrise was so amazing.
