Iao Valley & Upcountry Private Tour

  • $425/person
  • Two Guest Minimum

  • 8-9 hours

  • Start time: 9 a.m.

Our Iao Valley & Upcountry tour tour explores the valleys and slopes between Maui’s two prominent volcanic mountains. We take you exploring several sites located between Maui’s two ancient volcanic mountains. Begin with a visit to historic Iao Valley and Heritage Gardens, with its lush foliage and running streams. Then meander to Ho'okipa beach and on through several charming towns in Maui’s Upcountry region, such as Makawao, and choose between a variety of activities and places to eat. Finish the day cruising a dirt road high up along Haleakala’s southeastern face, with views typically seen only from an airplane.

Many guests use this tour for their last day adventure on Maui. We pick you up at your hotel or vacation rental. Venture through as many ecosystems as if driving from Mexico to Canada. Learn about Maui’s richly diverse culture and history. Then enjoy the convenience of being dropped off at the airport.

The summit of Haleakala is not included as part of this tour since we do not have a permit to enter the park. Tour companies without a permit are not allowed to take anyone into the park, even if the guests have their own pass.
