Hāliʻimaile is a small rural town on the slopes of Haleakala.  Its name loosely translates to an area covered in fragrant vegetation.  That vegetation was once the Maile shrub, but as of the 1920s, it has been home to the sweet smell of pineapples.  The building from the 20s still remains and is still partially in use for the current production of Maui Gold pineapples on Maui.

Pineapples

As you may or may not know, pineapples grow on a plant in the ground.  They can take up to 3 years to produce a single fruit. However, they can keep producing fruit for up to 50 years.  The climate of Maui is perfect for growing pineapples, so it has become a big industry across the islands.  At one point, Hawaii was producing 80% of the world’s pineapples!  The taste of a fresh pineapple is unforgettable, and it is loaded with nutrients, making it good for you as well.  The aloha spirit is alive in these tropical fruits, and you can feel it when you take this pineapple farm tour.  The guides are amazing and experienced, and they will definitely show you a good time.  If you’ve ever wondered where a pineapple came from, you will find that and so much more on this Maui pineapple farm tour. This is one of Maui’s more unique activities.

Some notes from our experience: 

• Free pineapple with every tour
• Pristine views

THE EXPERIENCE

Mark Twain called the sunrise from Haleakala “the sublimest spectacle” he had ever witnessed. Today, watching the sunrise from Haleakala Summit remains one of Maui’s most in-demand visitor activities. At over 10,000 feet, getting to the summit before dawn requires an early morning pickup, usually around 2 am, depending on the time of year. On this Haleakala Sunrise Tour, you will take incredible views of Maui and neighboring islands, as well as witness Haleakala’s otherworldly landscape, coming to life around you as the sun peaks over the crater’s eastern wall.

KNOW BEFORE YOU GO

While it may be the Hawaiian Islands, it can be frigid at the summit due to the high elevation. Morning temperatures year-round are often in the 40s and can even go as low as the 30s. The summit can also be very windy, so account for wind chill as well. It is recommended to wear lots of layered warm clothes. A hat and gloves are must-haves if you are going to be taking photos!

WHAT’S INCLUDED

Haleakala National Park now requires visitors to make a reservation to enter the park before sunrise. Polynesian Adventure handles the management of reservations prior to entering the park. Breakfast at Kula Lodge is included. Your tour guide will also teach you about the rich cultural history and unique native plant and animal life of Haleakala. This is one of the most unique Maui activities.
