Watch sunset from Haleakalā’s summit, then explore Maui’s starry night sky with telescope viewing, warm layers, and hot drinks.
About this tour
As daylight fades over Maui, the summit of Haleakalā offers a front-row seat to a vivid sunset and a sky full of stars. This 5.5-hour Haleakalā Sunset and Astronomy Tour pairs the mountain’s dramatic scenery with guided stargazing in a small group of eight or fewer.
Travel into Haleakalā National Park with a driver-guide and learn about the island’s geological history, distinctive plants, and wildlife along the way. At the summit, watch the sun sink below the horizon, then turn your attention to the night sky. Look for stars and planets through a telescope, with binoculars also available. Warm outerwear, chairs, hot tea, and hot chocolate help make the high-altitude evening more comfortable, and you can get assistance with night photography using your phone or camera.
Bring your own snacks and boxed dinner or sandwich. The tour reaches an altitude of 10,000 feet and includes time outdoors at night, so consider the health guidance before booking. Choose this Haleakalā Sunset and Astronomy Tour for a memorable evening of mountain views and celestial discovery.

How this score is calculated
This score is based on one provider. Viator rates it 5.00 from 64 reviews. We place that rating among all Viator ratings and weight it by its review count. If the tour is found on another provider later, both ratings are combined.
How the score works and rating distribution in Maui
- Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.
- Listings on different providers are combined in proportion to their review counts.
- Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
- The result is shown from 0 to 10: this tour scores 8.8. Top 10% in Maui means it ranks in the top 10% of tours in Maui by this score.
