Question for any past Hawaiian cruisers

[safein]

Thinking of booking the Haleakala Sunrise tour through Maui Activities and Tours for our cruise in April. Have you heard anything good or bad about either of them? I've already posted this to the Hawaii board but I know there are more on this board who have sailed the Islands.

 

Thanks!

We've been to Haleakala twice. The first time we rented a car and went during the day. It was beautiful and you could stop and take pictures at your own pace. The second time we did the sunrise. You have to get up VERY early. It is COLD at the summit. You must bundle up. It was beautiful, but after the sun came up, we just biked down. It was harder to get pictures as you have to watch where you are going. Personally, I prefered it during the day. Either way, don't miss it and have a great time.
