Description
This combo tour option is great for people who are a little short on time and want to do multiple things in a single day. There are two completely different tour experiences here … the sunrise viewing from the 10,000 foot summit of Haleakala, and the zipline course at Skyline Haleakala. You can cross two activities off your list with this single event, giving you more free time to explore or enjoy the beach!
Due to the huge popularity of sunrise viewing from the top of the "crater", Haleakala National Park made massive changes to limit the number of tour companies and the number of rental cars inside the park during the pre-dawn hours. In order to drive a rental car to the summit for this experience, you MUST obtain a permit weeks in advance. This tour avoids the hassle of having to arrange the permit, and also saves you the white-knuckle-in-the-dark drive in the middle of the night. They'll pick you up at your resort and you can catch a few zzz's on the way up the hill.
There is a very modest amount of hiking on the zipline portion of this tour, and the tour operator says you've got to be able to walk for a half a mile. You don't have to be a buffed athlete to do this tour, but you should be in reasonable physical condition and in overall good health. Oh, no upper arm and body strength is required. The harness and lanyard carry all your weight and you are securely clipped in. You wouldn't fall if you let go.
