Haleakala, meaning "House of the Sun", is the largest dormant volcano in the world. The crater is 3000 feet deep, and its width measures 7.5 miles east to west and 2.5 miles north to south. It's over 10,000 feet high and is a popular tourist destination on Maui.
A trip to the Valley Isle is never complete without viewing a magnificent sunrise from aloft her sleeping giant, so travel to the summit and experience the dawn of creation! Panoramic views, nature in the raw, and the wonders of Maui's majesty will leave you breathless!
Haleakala is renowned for its awesome beauty and unique scenery, moving Mark Twain to write that his 1866 visit to this dormant volcano was "... the most sublime spectacle I ever witnessed....the memory of it will remain with me always."
