Hike 4 miles through Haleakala Crater on Maui, exploring lava trails, rare native plants, and high-altitude desert-like scenery with a local guide.
About this tour
Haleakala Crater’s high-altitude landscape feels worlds away from the coast, with lava trails, rare native plants, and broad desert-like views. This 7-hour Maui Haleakala Crater hiking experience takes you more than 10,000 feet above sea level for a guided walk through one of the island’s most iconic natural settings.
Follow a 4-mile (6.4 km) trail across volcanic terrain and take in the crater’s striking scenery along the way. A local guide leads the hike, while snacks and lunch are included. The tour operates in all weather, so come dressed appropriately and ready for a moderate level of physical activity. Participants must be at least 8 years old, and the experience is not recommended for pregnant travelers or those with poor cardiovascular health or spinal injuries.
Meet at the Park & Ride near the intersection of Highways 311 and 380, just before entering Kahului; hotel pickup and drop-off are not provided. Book your Maui Haleakala Crater hiking experience for a memorable day among the island’s dramatic volcanic landscapes.

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 7.4. Top 47% in Maui means it ranks in the top 47% of tours in Maui by this score.
