About The Tour

A sunset atop Haleakala — known as house of the sun in Hawaiian — is pure magic. You’ll be walking on sunshine, that is of course until the stars come out. Then, weather permitting, you’ll behold some of the best stargazing in the world. You'll be so close to the stars you'll swear you can touch them!

Here are just a few of the fun things you can do on the tour!

•⁠ Watch the sunset atop Mt. Haleakala
•⁠ Look for constellations at Haleakala's summit
•⁠ Hike the Hosmer Grove or Sliding Sands trails
•⁠ Visit a lavender or dairy farm
•⁠ Walk through historic Makawao Town

This tour was the highlight of our visit! I stopped at places I never knew existed and saw so much more using this app. We found the tour guide informative and humorous. The music had to be paused a few times as it was a bit much, but other times, the music was thoroughly enjoyable. I was impressed how the tour kept up with us, even with no phone signal in the park. I highly recommend this app and will use it again when I get the chance.

Best travel app!

We tried out a qday in Hawaii and it completely transformed our trip to Kauai. We ended up doing all of the driving tours on the island. Our 6 year old son, kept asking “Can we turn on the Shaka tour yet?” The whole family loved it! We were thrilled to see more tours in the contential states!

Great content. However, bad timing which results in easily missed checkpoints. Stops auto-play consistently while using GPS. Be sure to monitor the app to play the upcoming stops so you have time to find a parking spot.

Self guided audio tour

What is an Audio Tour Guide?

Think of us as your personal tour guide in an app. Our tours provide everything a guided tour does, but with the freedom to explore on your terms. Here’s how it works:

  • GPS triggers audio narration to play automatically as you drive or walk.
  • Listen to stories, get local insights, visit must-see stops and get turn-by-turn navigation.

Yes! Feel free to join the tour along the route. Just make sure that you follow the numbers in chronological order from where you are starting from. If you don’t begin at one of the tour starting points you’ll miss a few stories, but you’ll still have a great experience.

No, the tour starts and ends in Kahului. If you’d like to begin this tour at Haleakala National Park you can join the tour along the route, but you’ll miss out on some stories.

It depends on the time of year, but sunset in the winter (October-March) is between 5:30 p.m. and 6:15 p.m. and in the summer (April-September) it’s between 5:30 p.m. and 6:30 p.m. We recommend you double check the night before your visit.

Please note, if you’re staying in West Maui at one of the resorts in Lahaina, Kaanapali or Kapalua it takes about 45 minutes to reach the start of the tour in Kahului and then, depending on the stops you make, it takes about 2-3 hours to reach the summit. This tour is designed with no stops on the way back with the expectation you’ll be driving at night.
