That sucks you got rained on. My sunrise was the single best experience of my life so far. I felt so lucky to be witness to it that I had tears coming out of my face. It will take your breath away. I couldn't get a ticket so I ended up booking a sunrise mountain view tour in order to see the sunrise. It was absolutely perfect weather. And during sunrise a rainbow came out over head and some bird flew over us (I think he said it was an ʻApapane) but he said it meant we were blessed by the gods. It was amazing. I'm going back in January to see sunset and take some astrophotography shots

[@judithhanisch3928]

I was fortunate enough to view the sunrise feb 1 2019. Even with snow gear it was cold but so worth it. 3am was so amazing with shooting stars. The sunrise was well worth the wait. Powerful. Highly recomend this experience!!!!!

[@AndyP71]

going to Maui next month for 1st time. Watching all your videos

[@jennycraigadventures3314]

Another nice video Josh. We always recommend trying to go for sunrise the first morning you’re here because if you came over from the mainland, your body wants to wake up early anyway. And yes, we think it’s worth he effort.

[@reddiver7293]

Have ridden bicycle up (and down) Haleakala. That's a great way to tour Haleakala!

[@thenumbah1birdman]

5:40 love that little labelling you inserted there, quite cool

[@xoxjelloxox]

Did you end up doing the sunrise again? Which do too like more

[@smiley27b]

So looking forward to our trip to Haleakala! Zion & Bryce in Utah are a must. So gorgeous 😊

[@Lovelymargs]

We did watch the sunrise and it was amazing. We even brought chairs because we got there very early, my children brought their blankets. We enjoyed our trip there.

[@Active_Tours]

Amazing! I can’t wait to do it myself. Great idea with the chairs.

[@robertsander8509]

We were there for the sunrise back in 1978.

[@FreeSpirit47]

The one time I made the climb up to Haleakala, it was so cold! Had been living in Hawai'i for a few years. Hearing so much about it, I wanted to see it. The extreme cold surprised me, I didn't even own a winter coat at that time. I had some thin blankets in the car. It was so beautiful, woke up at 0300 to grab some breakfast (papaya that a kind local woman gave me with some instant oatmeal) get there before it got too crowded. at 0530. Sunrise was estimated at 0612. By my clock, the sun began to rise at 0615. Close enough! I went to a couple other events, then, 2 days later for the sunset. It has to be a toss up in the breathtaking views between sunrise & sunset on Haleakala! Best advice ~ BRING A HEAVY COAT! Ha ha! I'm glad you said that!

[@TravelTipsbyLaurie]

Great comparison! Trying sunset tonight - wish us luck

[@jms4987]

how was it>?

[@TravelTipsbyLaurie]

@@jms4987 Sunset was amazing! Had a picnic in the few parking spots that were left. Miraculous how the clouds change so much!

[@dionnareaver]

Oh wow! I haven’t been since I was 13, 14 I’m 39 now so I guess that tells you. When I went to Maui in my late teens it was more of a family trip than sight seeing but def wanna experience the Haleakala sunrise in my adult life

[@dionnareaver]

And YES! It was so cold!!

[@nysep1101]

Very beautiful tips but exactly what I was thinking I had choose sunset so thanks for your advice we going this weekend.

[@LiveHardxLoveHard]

So sorry that you got rained out on your sunrise! We went just a couple weeks ago and it was also supposed to rain but we somehow magically got a perfect undercast. While it was one of the best sunrises I've ever seen, just comparing our footage, that sunset you got was pretty amazing too. I'd say overall everyone should get to see a Haleakala sunrise once in their lives, but if you get rained out, the alternative is not something to complain about! If you go again for sunrise, we found a perfect spot away from all the crowds across the parking lot from the viewing platform... highly recommend for unobstructed views!- Elise

[@dave1082]

if you rent all 3 cabins, 1 per day, you stay in the crater for 3 nights and hike all around there.(if they still rent the cabins) The story of Maui was that he caught the sun and pulled it closer so that the days would be shorter, i think.

[@sithykarithy864]

Nice video!! How far is the walk from the parking to the top of the summit?

[@KewellXi]

Great video. Thanks for the gear list also!

[@xoxjelloxox]

How long is the sliding trail?

[@Barbee_Q]

Im going to be there in 5 days!! Have not had luck getting tickets yet for sunrise😭 they really do get booked up right at the time they are available

[@Active_Tours]

Ugh sorry about that. Sunset is a great option too

[@jms4987]

how long before sunset should you go to experience everything, like the sliding sands trail?

[@_XOXOLOVELESS]

What month did you go.?

[@rosiehernandez4194]

Am I able to stay there after viewing su set if I got a ticket for sunrise? I don't mind sleeping in my car. ?I just don't want to drive in the dark to get to the sunrise ?

[@KylanaG]

Thanks for the video! If you visit Arches, make your way over to Canyonlands and bike/drive the Shafer Trail. It's a cool/adventurous ride.

[@cbdlee3604]

How far is this from the road to Hana? Planning a trip and wondering where I should stay

[@rachellake781]

Question for you or for anyone else - if we want to do the Sliding Sands Trail at Haleakala, would it be better to do it before the sunset or after the sunrise? Or does it not really matter?

[@JoseRhodeIsland]

Ever get an answer?

[@xoxjelloxox]

Is there a weather forecast to check for the top before booking a tour for the sunrise or sunset?

[@m.p.2482]

Zone Area Forecast for Haleakala Summit forecast.weather.gov/MapClick.php?zoneid=HIZ022

[@abitofeverything4385]

How did you book in advance, it won't allow me too?

[@Only1Science]

How long does it take to drive from the base/entrance of the park to the top of Haleakala?

[@Active_Tours]

It took me about two hours from Kihei

[@Galacticdude1]

What month did you go? I am going in end of feb for sunrise. However I want to view the stars before sunrise in particular the southern cross (which I cannot see from where I live LA). I didn't know it could rain that high in elevation

[@Active_Tours]

I went during the winter solstice. Enjoy your trip 🤙

[@kathryn99mn]

Are there still clouds for sunset?

[@JohnandCaraRetiredTravellers]

Beautiful video! We were there first 2 weeks February 2021, unfortunately there was snow and we didn’t have the proper attire. Thanks for sharing what we missed, hope to see it next time! ~Cara New subs here!

[@Active_Tours]

Thx for the support 🙏

[@ForTheWin2007]

That was a spectacular view. What time did you get to the top parking lot?

[@Active_Tours]

I arrived at the top around 1 hour before sunset. But arrived 3 hours total ahead so I could do some hiking before

[@fargopcguy]

Im from North Dakota. Unless it 20 below zero....Im ok with it.

[@korrabel]

So sorry your sunrise experience was rainy! We went back in January and the weather was spectacular for sunrise.

[@Active_Tours]

Can’t wait to go back and try again

[@xmeepz]

Do you need a reservation for sunset as well?

[@Active_Tours]

No need for a sunset reservation

[@bobbythedisneydad5221]

Hey Josh - really like your content bro. Quick question - are the parks still releasing 50 tickets at 4pm (island time) for the sunrise. I heard that recently on another channel???

[@Active_Tours]

Tickets are released at 7:00 am Hawaii time. I recommend you’re there 10 mins early and log in before you try. Keep refreshing till they show up. Good luck 🤞🍀

[@seagoobias]

@@Active_Tours I tried for days, but never secured a ticket. Closest I got was showed 38 available when I clicked add to cart, but still didn't get it. When do you plan to get your Molokai video up? I am in Molokai for one more full day. I enjoy your videos. Thanks.

[@Active_Tours]

Oh sorry to hear that. It’s not easy to get sunrise passes. This weekend I’m dropping the Best of Oahu then in a few weeks Molokai! Molokai is definitely one of my favorite islands in the world. Hopefully you got to see the water fall and maybe take a boat to see the cliffs. Thx for watching.
