Some of the very first visitors to Maui, including Mark Twain in 1866, ventured to the summit for sunrise. Today the winding 38 mile Crater Road sees hundreds of thousands of visitors every year.<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"where-can-i-watch-the-haleakala-sunrise\"><\/span>Where can I watch the Haleakala sunrise?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The Summit Visitor Center<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"can-you-see-the-sunrise-in-lahaina\"><\/span>Can you see the sunrise in Lahaina?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>If you want to witness one of the most gorgeous sunrises you&#39;ve ever seen, then head over to Lahaina Pali Trail! This adventure takes you on a 15-minute hike from the Ukumehame Trailhead to panoramic views of the white-capped ocean.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"can-you-watch-sunrise-at-haleakala-without-reservation\"><\/span>Can you watch sunrise at Haleakala without reservation?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>No, you only need a sunrise reservation to access the summit during sunrise hours (3:00 AM to 7:00 AM).<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"can-i-do-the-haleakala-sunrise-on-your-own\"><\/span>Can I do the Haleakala Sunrise on your own?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>So first, yes, you can do the Haleakala sunrise on your own! So you don&#39;t need a tour to do the Haleakala sunrise. And while you don&#39;t need a tour to do the Haleakala sunrise, you do need a reservation. Going to see the Haleakala sunrise on your own means a drive to the Haleakala summit.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"what-time-should-i-wake-up-for-haleakala-sunrise\"><\/span>What time should I wake up for Haleakala Sunrise?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>For sunrise trips, leave no later than 3:30 AM. It takes one hour to reach the summit when leaving from Kahului, 1-1.5 hours from Kihei, and 2 hours from Lahaina. The very latest we&#39;d suggest entering the park in the morning is 4:30 AM.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"which-parking-lot-is-best-for-haleakala-sunrise\"><\/span>Which parking lot is best for Haleakala Sunrise?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The summit parking<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"can-you-do-haleakala-sunrise-and-road-to-hana-in-same-day\"><\/span>Can you do Haleakala Sunrise and road to Hana in same day?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>While it is technically possible to visit both Haleakala National Park and drive the road to Hana on the same day, it means you will be spending a lot of time in the car and missing out on some of the more interesting experiences that would be available to those who can spend more time on each activity.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"do-you-need-4-wheel-drive-for-haleakala\"><\/span>Do you need 4 wheel drive for Haleakala?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>No. The only hiking trail that sometimes needs 4&#215;4 is PoliPoli Park. Those are not the best trails for tourists anyway and require a drive almost as long as the Haleakala summit to get to And even there you can get to all of the trails without a car by walking a bit farther.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"can-rental-cars-be-driven-on-road-to-hana\"><\/span>Can rental cars be driven on Road to Hana?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Most all rental car companies on <a class=\"wpil_keyword_link\" href=\"https:\/\/trendingsimple.com\/hawaii\/maui\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"Maui\" data-wpil-keyword-link=\"linked\">Maui<\/a> will allow you to drive to Hana. Driving the backside of Haleakala, past Oheo Gulch is not recommended for the faint of heart. The ROAD TO HANA is open: The best parts of driving to Hana are between Paia and Seven Sacred Pools.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The best place to view a Maui sunrise is Haleakala Summit.
