Haleakala National Park protects the world’s largest dormant volcano, Haleakala Crater. Exploring its huge expanses, it’s easy to see why haleakala means ‘house of the sun’.
The park is divided into two sections: the crater and the coastal area around Kipahulu.
Visitors come here to hike the wild lunar landscapes, with overnight treks particularly popular. Sunrise is an amazing sight over Haleakala, and the park is also well worth visiting at night, when the star-filled sky is crystal clear.
On the coast, the landscape is more lush, with fern-shaded pools and tumbling waterfalls to cool off in.

Haleakala National Park extends from the summit of Haleakala Crater to the coast near Hana. The only way to get here is by hire car or organized tour.
To drive to Haleakala National Park from the nearest town, Kahalui, follow routes 37, 377 and 378. It’s around a 1.5-hour trip.
