Sunset at Haleakala National Park Summit (Maui, Hawaii)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 4 янв 2022
- Maui is known as Hawaii’s honeymoon destination largely due to its unparalleled sunsets. Where’s the best place to watch the sunset on Maui? Haleakala National Park! This is the highest peak on the island of Maui standing at 10,023 feet tall, Haleakala is a dormant volcano that overlooks the entire island and offers views of the Pacific Ocean and views inside the Haleakala Crater. While sunrise is the most popular time to visit the park, reservations are required from 3:00-7:00am because space is limited. We were advised by Maui locals to visit at sunset and we managed to find a secluded spot to watch sunset ALL BY OURSELVES! It was amazing. This was hands down the best sunset we witnessed on Maui. Being above the clouds was an incredible experience and one we highly recommend (just don’t forget a jacket, it gets cold up there!).

Hey y'all! We're Chris + Sara (or as you know us, Let’s Be Us), a husband and wife digital nomad travel duo currently working and traveling full time with our pup, Kramer. We've always dreamed of traveling full time, and in May of 2018 we took the leap and made it happen! Today we're balancing work and fun everywhere between the Pacific and Atlantic. From hiking and cycling to tacos and coffee, we're trying to see and experience as much of this world as we can! While our home is currently on wheels in our DIY Sprinter van, our travels take us all around the world.

For the latests updates including our NEW video editing course and our 2022 trips to Italy and Iceland that YOU can join us on, check the video description! :)
The cloud-splash as the sun dipped below the horizon was unreal timing. So cool!!
Thank you for the wonderful snapshot of what is probably the most beautiful place in the Western Hemisphere! Listening to Sara you can hear how beautiful the place is and you both were in respect of it, on how the tone of your voices were. Beautiful. ThankYou! “Aloha Y’all”
Beautiful. Thanks Chris, Sara and Kramer 😊.
How awesome!!! What a terrific sunset. WOW!!! So glad you had a good time. Happy New Year. Until next time... Travel Safe.
Ahh I loved this vlog it felt like we relived our trip with you! That sunset was beautiful 😄💕and those donuts on a stick looked delish! I’m glad you liked the poké bowls too 😆👍
The hammock in the intro made me smile! ;) The time lapse sunset.... spectacular.
Upcountry is the best. I lived in Pukalani and Haiku. Really heavenly!
Great video!!! Makawao is sweet. Ooohhhhh mmyyyyyyy.
Wow amazing content with beautiful view and so cute couple 😍, thanks for sharing, stay blessed 🤗👍✌️💟🇵🇰
Amazing view and donuts…I need to add those to the bucket list.
Hello! This is Lori. Enjoyed watching your video! Chuck & I have been to Maui a few times and love it there. We just got back from a trip to Scotland and vlogged it. The first time in Maui was our honeymoon and we did watch the sunrise at the top of Haleakala. So beautiful! Have subscribed. Thanks for sharing this!
Loving your Aloha getaway and that awesome van. Great suggestion of sunset on haleakala v sunrise. We have been SO fortunate to experience sunrise, pre-covid and pre-reservations, packed but breathtaking. Once biking back down the mtn, a bit harrowing but def a bucket list.
i love you guys so much! ..
1. the addition of Chris falling outta the hammock in the intro was 😆 & *chef’s kiss
2. Sara with her hair down in the 1st intro ❤️😳❤️ (i know it’s always windy but you looked so ‘on vacay & LOVING IT!) ..
3. loved that you found that spot away from the crowds, i feel EXACTLY the same way as y’all about that stuff .. (& it felt like i/we were sharing that special moment with you more .. can’t imagine a better thing happening!)
love to you both .. hope KDawg was ok with getting left on the mainland (i’m assuming) .. ❤️❤️🐕
Amazing sunset!
Love Aloha y’all! Who doesn’t want a donut on a stick? Chris is in love! I would’ve went for the guava donut too. Sunset at Haleakala was beautiful! We went there for sunrise. It was freezing! Looks like you’re enjoying your 50th state! Mahalo for sharing!
Looks beautiful!
Beautiful happy new year just amazing !!!
Happy new year to you as well! :)
Honestly being from Florida and growing up with beaches. I didn’t think It would be a big deal if I ever went to Hawaii, But seeing that amazing and drastic change in landscape I have to go!
this looks like living a dream life
Hello Chris and Sara.👋👋👋
The first scene, where it said Maui on the screen literally gave me goosebumps. So beautiful. Am I green with envy?? Ohh baby, you betcha I am.
Ya'll did good on this vid.
Thank you. This was pure enjoyment. ❤😁❤
Note to Chris:
Dude, ya better keep that woman of yours close to your side forever, when the sun was setting and shining through her hair, she looked like a angel.❤
Loved my visit to Maui❤️
Malasada's (donuts as you call them)....my favorite when I lived in Hawaii as a kid! Smart you saw the sunset; when we went 2 years ago we got up at 3a.m. to drive up and see the sunrise. It was so rainy and cloudy when we got up there you couldn't even see what direction the sun was coming up. Our favorite vacation photo was the 3 of us wrapped in the rental condos comforters soaking wet in the middle of a cloud...our "sunrise photo".😅
Wife and I did the sunset at Hal. last year. Great video, but perhaps you'll agree its far more breathtaking in person. Something about it is more magical than seeing clouds below you from the tiny window of a plane.
We’re hoping to travel to Maui in the spring 🙏🏼 would love to see that sunset 👀
It's a must! You're going to love being there in the spring.
What a sunset!!! Was this bakery in Paia? The donuts looked amazing! Thanks for bring us along! We stayed 2 weeks in Maui Feb 2021, found it to be one of the prettiest places on earth! Great video guys! ~Cara 😊
Thank you for sharing. We will be there in 10 days
Enjoy it!
Donuts, tacos….y’all are my kind of people as previously established! I got such a laugh at Chris going into donut dreamland 😂 That sunset was fantastic - I’ll take a private location off the beaten path any day!
Can you share directions to your secluded spot for Haleakala sunset please?
We were on the summit once when the wind was blowing 40+ mph and it was snowing like a blizzard! Great experience
WOW! That sounds amazing. I'm sure it's beautiful up at the summit with snow.
You should see a sunrise at the top of Haleakala especially when there is a meteor shower happening. Absolute magic.
Oh man!! I bet that’s INCREDIBLE! 😍
Sunset at the top of the mountain is always great until you realize you have to hike down in the dark.
Not here. You park right at the summit.
Hello! I will be visiting Maui in the spring and the sunset at Haleakala is at the top of my list.
Which way did you go to get away from the crowds? Did you go down a trail?
Any tips for finding the exact spot your friend recommended away from the crowds to watch sunset? How do we find that same area? We are heading to Maui next week!
Chris falling out of the hammock made me giggle too much 😂
I’m so glad he was okay because I can’t stop laughing. Lol
Appreciate this video. TBH, i'm more of a sunset person than a sunrise person. Don't want our vacation to feel like a chore waking up at 230am haha
😂 I completely understand that!
Okay Y’all….its Poki aka “Pokeee” 🤙🏽😊
Hi! Any way you can share the spot where you guys watched the sunset. Planning on doing the drive, but like you, would also enjoy it more with less people around.
Now I want a doughnut on a stick, thanks guys 😂
How long did it take you to drive to the summit?
So, since we know Chris is OK, we can laugh at the hammock fall right?!?! 😀
Face covering STILL required? Is that the norm around the island? Ps did you guys stay up after sunset to watch the stars? That doughnut 🍩 looks amazing!
Hey Naomi! Back in December 2021 when we visited it was. However, I think they’ve since loosened their entry and mask requirements significantly. And yes! We did stay for a bit to see the stars and it was 100% worth it. Can’t recommend Haleakala enough! ☺️
How do we find the secret spot on the mountain?
Oh my, can I ask where you guys stand or which area were you guys at, when you guys watched the sunset?
Hey there! We don’t have the exact pinpoint saved on Google Maps, but if you go to the visitor center at the top of Haleakala then backtrack about a mile or so down the mountain, there are a few different pull offs along the way. Just find one that’s facing west. :) all of the spots were open as we were driving down so you should have your pick of spots!
@@chrisandsara Aw, thank you.
@@chrisandsara you said your friend told you where this secret spot is... why not share the actual details... you know... aloha and KOKUA...
Insert Homer Simpson saying “Dooooonnnnuuut”
park at 8000 feet and hitch hike to top and hike into crater trails take you back to your car :)
