Arrive late and you’ll miss the resplendence of seeing the first rays of light, so give yourself plenty of time. Sunrise typically arrives between 5:30 and 7:00 in the morning, depending on the season. Planning a morning of magic and serenity? Here’s what to expect. As records of people will attest, a Haleakalā sunrise is a near-sacred event every minute should be savored. A National Park that stretches east into beloved Hana, it comprises over 34,000 acres of stunning sights-from glimpses of rare fauna and flora (including the strange and surreal silversword and the endangered Nene goose) to a crater that yawns wide enough to hold all of Manhattan Island.īut watching the sun ascend from the acme of Maui’s most magnificent mountain shouldn’t be something you rush through just to knock it off your bucket list. Rising over ten thousand feet above sea level, Haleakalā looms so high above the Valley Isle that it extends beyond the cloud line, making up an astounding 75% of the island. The “House of the Sun” is an astounding feat of nature. Why, you might ask? To watch the glory and wonder of one of Maui’s most miraculous sights: The great Haleakalā sunrise. Setting one’s alarm clock for three o’clock in the morning might not immediately seem like the most scintillating idea while on vacation, but that’s precisely what scores of visitors to Maui often do-2.2 million per year, to be exact.
