Volcanoes Of Maui Shore Excursion

Central Maui, Iao Valley, Upcountry & Haleakalā Park Tour

Explore the island’s significant, stunning cultural sites and learn how its ecological systems function and more… during full daylight hours. Experience the sacred mountain, the forbidden ʻĪao Valley (once only accessible to royalty), the ancient Hawaiian lifestyle, Maui’s quaint upcountry, and the weather engine and headwaters for all life on the island, all while piquing cultural and photographic desires.

Guests are immersed in a day that includes: Hawaiian cultural & farming practices, war and peacetime living (bird watching, food practices, fishing, climate zones). Learn how the actual island of Maui works. Discover how Hawaiians “Malama Aina” (care for the land) and about the Ahupua’a watershed system of ancient Hawai’i from the summit to fishpond.

VIE makes every effort to have the lightest ecological “footprint” possible by recycling everything and generating “no trash on tour,” picking up after others when possible and making sure the guests know how fragile the island’s ecosystem really is. We’re committed to making Maui better, day by day, year by year. It’s our home and we want to make people say “Maui No Ka Oi!” and mean it when they go back to their homes.

Tour Highlights

Our new Maui Volcano Tour explores Maui’s highlights (different from those on the Road to Hana). See areas like Iao Valley, Haleakala National Park Summit Area, Upcountry Maui ranches & towns, and other specialty areas like Wailuku, Kula, and Paia.

At the Iao Valley entrance, we explore the beautiful cultures that mix to make up Maui in this county park. Each represented with its own unique pavilion or garden style, including a Hawaiian hale.
