Polynesian Adventure Tours Haleakala Sunrise Adventure
As Mark Twain put it after his 1866 visit to this dormant volcano, Haleakala
was "the sublimest spectacle I ever witnessed...the memory of it will remain
with me always." You'll feel the same, especially after viewing the sunrise from
the Visitor's Center at 9,740 ft (this tour does not go to very summit at 10,023ft). To say you’ll be rendered speechless is an understatement –
in simple terms, there is no more beautiful sunrise in the entire world, and
Polynesian Adventures will be happy to show it to you. This tour includes breakfast served at Cafe O'Lei at the Mill House.
This tour does not go to the summit location at 10,023 feet (Pu'u Ulaula Summit Hill).
