On our Spectacular Haleakala port adventure - we stopped for views at about the half way point. The tour guide wanted to make sure everyone is ok with the higher elevation. Description of the Port Adventure: Travel by motorcoach to Haleakala National Park. See Maui’s massive Haleakala volcano from bottom to top as you journey from sea level to the summit to view the spectacular island scenery and the immense crater of volcanic rock. You can catch a glimpse of Haleakala, Maui’s massive dormant volcano, from almost any point on the island, but you will go all the way to the top on this scenic journey—from sea level to 10,000 feet. At the summit is a vast crater 7.5 miles long by 2.5 miles wide, and 3,000 feet deep. It last erupted in 1790 and has been dormant ever since, though that does not mean it won’t erupt again one day. The Hawaiians revere it as a sacred site, and tell tales of Pele, the goddess of fire and volcanos. From the visitor center and the crater’s rim, you'll be able to appreciate firsthand the unique beauty of this imposing caldera with its interesting mix of volcanic rock and plant life, some of which, like the silversword plant, is found only in Hawaii's volcanic craters. The views from the top are magnificent. If the day is clear, you may even make out 2 other towering peaks—Mauna Loa and Mauna Kea on the Big Island.
