Enjoy a Haleakala Crater Hiking Experience on Maui
Explore Maui’s most renowned natural landmark with Hike Maui Haleakala Crater Hiking Experience. This is one of Hawaii Travel Network’s most popular eco-adventure on the island of Maui. There are many Maui Tours or Maui Attractions that take you on Maui Hiking Tours across the island, but none compares to Hike Maui Haleakala Crater for a 4 Mile Hike on the beautiful “Valley Isle.” Reaching across Maui’s southeast coastline stands Maui’s highest volcanic crater, Haleakala. Today, the tallest peak of Haleakala is 10,023 feet, but this majestic volcano is believed to have been as tall as 15,000 feet at one time. Due to rain and wind erosion, two large river valleys were carved out of the rim. Eventually, the valleys formed an opening that merged at the volcano summit to create a crater-like basin. This massive shield volcano makes up 75% of the island of Maui. Ancient Hawaiians named this grand mountain Haleakala, meaning “House of the Sun.” During this Hike Maui Haleakala Crater Hiking Experience, the Maui Hiking tour guides will share a Hawaiian folklore story of the demigod Maui: It seems Maui’s grandmother lived in the depression of the summit and she helped him to lasso the sun! They held on tightly to the rope, forcing the sun to slow down on its journey across the Hawaiian sky thus creating a longer day.
