Enjoy the great outdoors on a variety of trails in the two dramatically different districts One of america’s premier national parks, it’s one of the premier hiking destinations on maui with several difficult trails. Due to the fragile nature of hawaiian ecosystems, it is required by law that hikers stay on marked trails
Hiking groups are limited to 12 people. Established in 1961, haleakalā national park protects some 33,000 acres of the volcano Haleakala national park in maui is spectacular, but to hike all these trails requires careful planning, especially since getting from the summit district to the kipahulu district (and vice versa) is not easy.
While most visitors drive up to the haleakala crater to watch the sunrise, leaving shortly after, i encourage you to stick around for a full day and night. Even if clouds obscure the crater at first, a short walk often reveals spectacular views Take your time, pace yourself, and soak in the dramatic landscapes.
