Additional Information
Getting There
Plane
The main airport is in Kahului, in central Maui. Major airlines fly from the
U.S. mainland and inter-island flights are common between the main Hawaiian
islands.
Car
Haleakala National Park extends from the 10,023 foot summit of Haleakala down
the southeast flank of the mountain to the Kipahulu coast near Hana. These two
sections of the Park are not directly connected by road, but both can be reached
from Kahului. The Summit area of Haleakala is a three hour round trip drive from
Kahului via roads 37, 377, and 378. Follow the signs posted along the Highway.
The Kipahulu area of the Park is at the east end of Maui between Hana and Kaupo.
It can be reached via Highway 36, a curvy, often wet road. Kipahulu is about 90
miles from the resort areas of Wailea or Kaanapali, and 60 miles from central
Maui. Driving time is about 3-4 hours each way. An extension of this road,
Highway 31, goes around the dry side of the island, past Kaupo and on to
Ulupalakua. It is only partially paved and can be hazardous or closed during
periods of stormy weather.
Public Transportation
There is no public transportation available to the park. |
