Surfing, Sunsets, and Stargazing: Kihei Waves and Haleakalā National Park

A breathtaking view of Haleakalā Crater in Maui, Hawaii, taken at dusk with dramatic clouds and rocky terrain.

Overview

From one active adventure to another, today shifts gears from snorkeling to surfing — yet another hallmark of Hawaiian life. This morning, you’ll surf the waves in Kihei during an immersive and fun workshop led by an expert surf instructor. During this private class, you’ll learn how to surf at your own pace, no matter if you’re experienced in the water or just beginning your exhilarating adventures. Later in the day, the action will continue with a visit to the mesmerizing landscapes of Haleakalā National Park. With daylight still on your side, you’ll meet your expert local guide at your hotel for a tour that doesn’t just take you to a new place; it practically transports you to a new planet. En route to Haleakalā — and the wonders of this park’s volcanic terrain — you’ll enjoy scenic views and insights into the island’s farming and ranching traditions. When you reach the volcano just in time for the setting sun, your guide will share stories of Hawaiian history, geology, and ecology while pointing out rare species like the silversword and the nēnē goose. To close off your day, you’ll enjoy a picnic-style dinner at the summit, with a session of stargazing that takes full advantage of the unobstructed and clear Maui skies.

Highlights

Private Surfing Lesson in Kihei

Enjoy a customized two-hour surfing lesson designed just for your group. After a short land-based introduction, you’ll head into the water with an experienced surf instructor who will teach you how to surf at your own pace. That means, you can take it slow and comfortable, or pick up the energy if you’re feeling adventurous. Today’s class includes all surf equipment, with instruction suitable for everyone from first-timers to experienced surfers.

Haleakalā Sunset Tour

The best views are yet to come, as you’ll visit Haleakalā National Park at sunset. Tonight, you’ll meet your expert local guide for a ride through Maui’s charming Upcountry communities before ascending to the 10,023-foot summit of Haleakalā National Park: the legendary “House of the Sun.” At the summit, you’ll witness a spectacular sunset followed by some of the best stargazing in Hawaii — and a picnic-style dinner with an unforgettable view.
