Lahaina Half-day Tours

Sunset tour gets back little late but great experience. The views and scenery amazing throughout . Enough stops for restroom and food/snacks. Our tour guide Mike was extremely knowledgeable of history of Hawaii especially Maui and the volcano.

See all the beautiful colors without getting up at 2 AM! Michael was a wonderful guide who was truly passionate about Haleakala National Park. The views on the way up are spectacular and not driving allowed us all the ability to enjoy them. The sunset was amazing but what we most enjoyed was seeing the stars. Breathtaking! It was nice having a choice from a menu for dinner. Also, there were plenty of bathroom spots. Getting a chance to talk to the Menehune was fun.

This was the perfect romantic sunset experience. The views were incredible. Vic is an amazing guide, I'd hire him for any type of Maui tour. A great and knowledge guide who got us in the absolute best spot to witness the sunset. He promptly answered any questions we had before the tour. We asked about what to wear in advanced and he provided us with hoodies and a warm blanket to watch a magical sunset. Vic took many photos throughout the experience for us so we could focus on watching the sunset with each other. Vic is an extremely good/safe driver. He knew so much about Maui. I'd book him again for any kind of tour on the island. I firmly believe this is the best Haleakala Private Sunset Tour you can book. I would recommend this tour to anyone going to Maui. You'll remember it for the rest of your life.

I have traveled many places with tour guides, NONE have been as good as Vic. I would consider booking him for anything on Maui. However, this tour was absolutely incredible. The tour was the number highlight of my girlfriend and I's trip to Maui. Before the tour, I inquired about what to wear as we did not pack anything for cold weather on Maui. Vic was ready with 2 hoodies and a warm blanket. The tour started with him picking us up at our hotel. Immediately he provided us with his mother's incredible homemade banana bread and offered us beverages. We then began the drive, throughout the drive he pointed out interesting things along the way. His driving was A+. Multiple times we got out and he took pictures for us at incredibly scenic spots. Eventually, Vic got us to the summit in a great parking spot. He then helped us to the perfect spot to view the sunset, protected from the wind by rocks. Again, he took more photos for us while we prepared to watch an incredible sunset. The view was unlike anything I'd seen before. Despite his excellent photography, I still felt compelled to snap a few pictures with my phone. As some groups started to leave, Vic said just wait because the colors are only going to get better. I am glad we did, photos do not do the sunset justice. The experience was absolutely magical. After all was said and done, I felt lucky to have booked with him. I truly believe this is the best sunset tour and guide you could possibly find on Maui. Anything we needed help with, he was able to assist. He has a great sense of humor and a perfect laid back vibe. More importantly, he is a good person. The next time I am fortunate enough to visit Maui, I will absolutely book with him/Aloha Wild Tours again. I cannot stress how great of a local guide Vic was. A couple days later, he sent us a video of different moments he recorded set to perfect music. I'll always treasure that video of my girlfriend and I from the sunset tour. If you book this tour, you will be treated with the best views of your life and learn a lot about Maui. It was more than just a tour, in the end we made a good friend while seeing the best sunset of our lives. If you are still reading this, stop and book your tour already. You will not regret it.

Our tour was thoroughly enjoyable and Nick was a great guide. The Maui scenery was breathtaking and we even saw whales from an overlook point. We definitely recommend this tour.

We used C Big Island tours for Maui (Tropics of Maui & Rainforest Valley), Hilo (Volcanoes National Park), and Kona. Each tour had a local person as the guide; each was knowledgeable, sharing fun tidbits of information, telling jokes, and providing great spots for pictures! Great places to eat. The Iao Needle was interesting to see and our tour ended with a double rainbow overhead. Our Kona tour was cancelled since the ship could not tether in the port due to rough waters; so sorry we missed the tour but our money was promptly refunded. Highly recommend C Big Island to anyone visiting the islands!!!

It is breathtaking and it will get cold once the sun goes down. Mike did an absolute amazing job!!! He was knowledgeable, friendly, and very prepared. We went back and forth on going ourselves or with a tour, and I am glad we went with the tour. I highly recommend this tour.

Delightful, professional and knowledgable guide ... safe driver, beautiful drive from the West Coast to the mountain top.

If you can choose a driver Michael Reed is the one to choose. He made the excursion great.The told us Hawaiian history, cultural facts, jokes and he added his personal touch like keeping our dinner warm until we ate, after he served us hot coco.He was mindful of the 7 hour tour and made timely bathroom breaks.On the way down Michael stopped on the side of the road to “thank the Menehune”. I’ll leave it at that as I don’t want to spoil the surprise.Of course the sunset was beautiful and after he showed us stars and constellations. A great tour.

Victor was exceptionally gracious and supportive throughout the trip. This was a very private, special and emotional trip up to the top of Haleakala for me as a part of a celebration of my parents lives and memorial prior to putting their ashes in the sea at sunrise on Sunday.

Our tour guide Michael was very knowledgeable about Hawaiian culture and made sure we had a wonderful time throughout the tour. Dinner was delicious (verry generous portions) and hot chocolate or tea after sunset was a welcomed treat to warm up. The sunset was breathtaking and staying to do a little stargazing was incredible. The bus was clean and comfortable. Thank you for allowing us to join your Ohana for the tour.For future visitors: definitely make sure you bring multiple layers. The wind is brisk and temperatures drop quickly at the summit.

This is a once in a lifetime experience that combines history, ecology, and stars. Our tour guide, Michael was well versed in everything, with plenty experience dealing with a disparate group of people. He kept us interested and informed by starting many stories and coming back to them to complete at different points. There were few questions asked because he covered everything. The sunset encounter was so fascinating because the light changed rapidly and was over before we knew it. But what came next after most other people left the park was so memorable. One by one, the stars blinked open. Michael was ready to direct our attention to the constellations, adding facts about what they meant for ancient people. He supplied hot chocolate or tea to keep us warm. I would recommend this trip to older kids and adults.

The best tour I have been on thus far! Would book with Mike, our tour guide, again. Very intimate setting, Mike was so nice and very knowledgeable. I love how we were picked up at our hotel, dinner was provided, even hot cocoa or hot tea! Worth every penny!

What a great experience! Victor is an awesome tour guide, and he made the trip so memorable and fun!Haleakala at sunset is absolutely worth doing. The views are just stunningly beautiful. It's definitely one of the highlights of our trip. Looking down on the clouds and out into the expanse of Maui is something I'm so grateful I could share with my son.Along with the majesty of this park, it was great to hear all the additional knowledge Victor had to share. Doing tours in this way is 100% worth it when you have a great guide. You get to relax and take in all the scenery, and you learn so much more than you would on your own. Recommended!

It was wonderful. It ended up being a solo trip (I thought there might be a few more joining us) which allowed a personal experience with Victor. He made sure I was aware of the landscape and helped me in terms of accessibility (which I appreciate). The experience at the bottom (top) of the crater was unforgettable and I appreciate how knowledgeable and flexible Victor was with my questions.

Exciting tour to Haleakala! Amazing views and such an incredible sunset. Michael is the best!! Very informative and we learned about the history of Hawaii, the plants, and the wildlife on the island. Food was excellent with lots of choices. Michael truly cares about his guests, refers to us as his ohana, and makes the tour a fun experience for all! We even saw amazing stars after the stunning sunset. This tour is highly recommended, a must do when in Maui!
