Haleakala Crater Four Mile Hike
They would never visit Maui without
experiencing the Crater. It's
where their guides go for
inspiration. A great
amphitheater of silence and
expansiveness. A place of beauty
that always evokes awe. The
four-mile trip is a good Crater
sampler -- you hike through
three very different
environments.
Grandeur, majesty, vastness.
Haleakala's energy is intense
and ethereal, and it's
absolutely silent.
Views stretch for more than a
hundred miles in all directions
A two-mile hike at 8,000 feet
on a lava rock trail lined with
rare endemic plant species
Another two-mile hike at the
10,000-foot summit where huge
cinder cones dominate the
desert-like, expansive scenery
A short loop trail at 7,000
feet through Hosmer's Grove, a
cloud forest full of unusual
native Hawaiian birds

Haleakala Crater Eight Mile Hike
You're on top of the world
(8,000 feet), then you descend
to the floor of one of the
world's most famous volcanoes
(not active, don't worry). Twice
as long as the Four-Mile
Haleakala hike, so it's for
those who really want to hike
and really want to experience
the magic of this phenomenal
place.
For those who want to reach the
crater floor and get a good
workout. We hike the Switchback
Halema`u Trail at the 8,000-foot
level and descend 1,600 feet to
the crater floor. Most would
consider this strenuous.
Descend through alpine scrub
forest on a lava rock trail
This end of the crater has
more endemic Hawaiian plants
than the summit
Cross the crater floor past
huge slabs of lava and bizarre
rock formations
Hike two miles across the
floor to Holua Cabin
Return back up the Switchback
Trail
Panoramic views all day long
Lunch and snacks included
Meet in Central Maui, then ride
with them 1 hour to the National
Park.
