Haleakala Self-Guided Audio Driving Tour

Drive from sea level toward the summit of Haleakala, Maui’s 10,000-foot dormant volcano, with stories and directions unfolding along the way. This self-guided Haleakala audio driving tour turns the journey into an engaging introduction to the island’s landscapes, history, and culture.

As you travel through upcountry towns and rainbow eucalyptus forests, hear about Hawaiian mythology, paniolo, and how the islands formed. Higher up, take in Haleakala’s stark, Mars-like terrain, with cinder cones, silversword plants, rare Nene geese, and sweeping Pacific views. More than 90 location-based audio points play automatically as you drive, while suggested itineraries help you plan a half-day, full-day, or multi-day visit.

One purchase covers everyone in your vehicle, and the tour never expires. Entry fees, National Park passes, and reservations are not included.
