Tips from the community
Revered as the ‘House of the Sun’ by the Early Hawaiians, mighty Haleakalā stands tall above the legendary beaches and resort towns of Maui that spread below. Peaking at over 10,000 feet, it’s a smoke-belching volcano that hisses and splutters and seethes across a Mars-like landscape of cinder cones and lava rocks. Go for a hike right on the cusp of the crater rim and keep your eyes peeled for the white domes of the Haleakalā Observatory, which makes the most of the crisp and cloudless skies to peer into the cosmos after dark.

There are 3 backcountry wilderness cabins in the park that visitors can reserve to camp overnight. Wake up to incredible views looking across the volcanic landscape. Book early because cabin spaces sell out quickly!
