2. Sunrise at Haleakala Crater:

Arriving at the summit, you’ll witness one of nature’s most spectacular displays—the sunrise over Haleakala Crater. As the sun’s first rays illuminate the volcanic landscape, you’ll be captivated by the vibrant colors and serene beauty of this otherworldly setting. Enjoy a vehicle tour of Haleakala National Park and a stop at the informative Visitor Center.

3. Bike Ride Begins:

Your adventure continues as you begin your bike ride at an altitude of approximately 6,500 feet, just outside the national park entrance. The crisp mountain air and panoramic views provide an invigorating start to your downhill journey.
