ハレアカラのおすすめツーリングルート

Kūloa Point overlooks the Alenuihāh Channel.

Haleakalā's summit currently resides at 10,023 feet. It is believed that it once sat at 15k feet, but it is so heavy that the volcano is sinking into the earth's crust. Today, the volcano is 28,000 feet above the sea floor making it the THIRD tallest mountain on earth!

Kūloa Point overlooks the Alenuihāhā Channel, which separates Maui from Hawaiʻi Island. On a clear day, you can see the island from the visitor deck, some thirty miles away. A trail runs along the point where you can take a self-guided tour of Kīpahulu to learn more about generations of the people's scared bond with their homeland and its importance.

Harold Park has all the usual park amenities including potable water, restrooms, picnic area, and a telephone. This elevated inland park has vast views of the countryside stretching all the way to the ocean. This would be a great wide-open spot to launch a drone and get some aerial photography.

Waioka Pond (Venus Pools Maui) is a secret short dirt trail easily rideable on a bike, or you can lock the bikes and head down to the pools. With less than 5 minutes of walking or coasting, you arrive at one of the best local spots for cliff diving, or you can just enjoy swimming and sunbathing on this black sand beach. The water is protected in a cove with a small seawall, so you don't have to worry about waves or a current.

Piʻiholo Road is an extremely twisty road that winds through the Maui countryside. There is plenty of greenery along the way and you can spot some stunning houses (and a few with negative equity coming in hot from homebuyers who got caught up in the 2023 market).

Often bypassed, this beautiful roadside treasure has a stunning waterfall with a swimmable pool, and restrooms. There are picnic tables you can use, but make sure you fix a plate for the friendly cats that can be found here!

Located on one of the least visited parts of the island, Piilani Highway is a picturesque, wild landscape with beautiful roads. Occasionally the road does narrow to a single lane or the surface turns to minor gravel, but that is what makes it unique!
