I've done the Haleakala sunrise bike ride twice before and thoroughly enjoyed it. I'll be back on Maui in early Feb. with two friends who have never been to Hawaii before. I'd love to show them sunrise at the top of the volcano. However, one has a medical condition that precludes him from the bike ride (he would ride in the van) and the other is a little nervous about biking down the volcano.
So I was wondering how easy it is to drive to the top of Haleakala? We'll be staying in Kaanapali. I know it would be 1-1 1/2 hour drive to get there. Is the road off of the Hana highway easy to find? My concern is that I'll miss the turn off in the dark and we'll miss sunrise.
Has anyone driven on their own to do this before. I figure it'll also save us about $400.
Also, any good suggestions for breakfast in Paiea?
Thanks!
Terri
