Please let Preston give you a tour, he really knows what he is talking about
Had a terrific time up there, Preston did a terrific job giving us great information about all different kinds of stars , planets , the history of Hawaii, etc. It is also very affordable, it was a nice surprise when I saw the initial admission fee :) A beautiful atmosphere with the group and had the best time, it truly is worth waking up at 1:30 am :)))
Response from the operator: Thank you for the great review! We’re glad you had such a memorable experience and appreciate your kind words about Preston!

Would recommend this tour
We took a tour thru Polynesian Adventure to see the sunset at Haleakala. We chose not to have a car on this trip so we did everything thru tour companies. Our bus was late picking us up but when I called, they gave me an update. We met another tour bus at a shopping area to switch drivers/meet other passengers. The shopping area was nice and I wish we were able to spend more time there. The driver was friendly and informative. You can take a lot of good pictures on the way from the bus. We stopped at one of the main signs for a photo op. Bring warmer clothes to put on when you get there as the temp drops. I read that it’s colder for sunrise compared to sunset. I recommend sunset for that reason and for more picture taking as the ride up to summit would be in the dark if you go for sunrise, and you are getting up really early. Also, warm clothes take up room in your suitcase. Dinner was included in the price (sandwich or salad). The driver also had warm drinks once we got there and cookies. The dinner is passed out once you get to the top of the summit – you are supposed to eat on the bus as food is not permitted in the park. I think it would have been nice if we had a different stop to eat at. Once you get to the summit you have limited time and eating felt rushed. You can go to the very top (another .5 miles by walking 2 different path choices). We chose not to do that due to feeling rushed and the altitude change can cause breathing issues. We took many great pictures without walking to the top – this was one of my favorite excursions of the trip. For the folks that drive, parking is limited and you could be turned away. Also, you will have a long drive down in the dark. It was nice having a tour driver worry about this drive. I would recommend this tour group. My main suggestions for improvement is to allow more time at the top of the summit and have a different stop to eat dinner.

Road to Hana with Sale
Saved the best for last. This is our last excursions before heading home. Sale was an awesome tour guide. I want to come back with friends and do the tour again with him!! He was enriched with so much history which mad the trip even more memorable.

We waited over one hour...
We waited over one hour for the sunset. We could have gotten there 30 minutes before sunset and spent more time at the first stop which looked very nice. Additionally, previous bus tours I’ve taken had a guide that wasn’t also the driver. I question the safety of the driver giving the tour when he should give full attention to driving. Also, the driver/guide was very nice but his English was often difficult to understand.
Response from the operator: Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We're glad to hear you found your driver-guide friendly and appreciate your comments regarding the pacing of the tour and overall experience. Guest feedback helps us evaluate and improve our tours, and your observations will be shared with our team. Mahalo.

Why this scores 64
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Haleakala Maui Sunset Twilight Tour with Dinner: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Kihei.
How much does Haleakala Maui Sunset Twilight Tour with Dinner cost?
+
Prices start at $257 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Kihei usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Haleakala Maui Sunset Twilight Tour with Dinner take?
+
Plan for about 7 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Kihei is not rushed.
Is Haleakala Maui Sunset Twilight Tour with Dinner worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 64 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.5/5 across 258 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Kihei, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Haleakala Maui Sunset Twilight Tour with Dinner?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Haleakala Maui Sunset Twilight Tour with Dinner suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 7-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Haleakala Maui Sunset Twilight Tour with Dinner?
+
Around 90 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Kihei can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Kihei and add a light layer if any part of the 7-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Haleakala Maui Sunset Twilight Tour with Dinner start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Kihei within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Kihei?
+
Kihei, HI packs its best experiences into walkable neighborhoods, local food, and day trips nearby. Outty ranks every bookable tour and activity in Kihei by rating quality, review depth, booking demand and value, so you can see the standouts before you book. On Outty we rank every Kihei experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Road to Hana Adventure Maui Tour with Lunch, Maui: Haleakala Sunrise Spectacular with Local Breakfast, Maui: Famous Road to Hana Waterfalls and Lunch by Mercedes Van. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Kihei?
+
Spring and fall bring the best weather and lighter crowds in Kihei, while summer has the widest choice of tours and evening activities. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Kihei?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
