Kalahaku Overlook

Amazing! The road there is windy and we had 2 folks car sick! There are restrooms on top. We went in October and it was freezing, make sure to wrap up with lots of layers. Hats gloves and scarves too! So cold. The views and plants were amazing! Great sunset and we stayed to watch the stars, you could see the whole milkyway Highly recommend! Long trip though

Excellent day trip to see up above it all! You can see most all of Maui from up top the mountain, including La'Nai and Hawaii Big Island. It might be busy during sunrise and sunset, but the midday time when I visited was only mildly busy, plenty of room to leisurely move around and not feel rushed at all.

Breathtaking views! Have warm clothes to change into because it’s cold and windy up there! Be mindful of the time it takes to get up there and down. The drive is very much worth it.

A 5 star overlook. When we were visiting the National Park in early December it was really cold, windy with some rain. We were well prepared and changed clothes at the visitor center before driving up to the top. When we got to the Kalahaku Overlook we saw a mystic rainbow just over the caldera. This was absolutely spectacular ....... words can't describe.

An absolutely stunning overlook! You can do so much such as watching the sunset and just enjoying the view. But the sunset in particular is the most beautiful part. As the sun drops below the sea of clouds, you watch as the sky darkens and the light disappears. A really magical place indeed!

I definitely recommend visiting for beautiful views, however, make sure you check the weather before heading out, if there are any clouds, you may not see anything at all. Also, bring layers and a windbreaker, it can get pretty cold up there. Lastly, for any hiking, be mindful that it's over 9000 ft altitude, so you might feel it.

Came here for the sunset. It was awesome. I’ve never been at the summit for the same event, but I have trouble believing it could be much better, and we had no crowds to deal with- just one other couple 50 yards away from us. Get here a little early to catch stunning views of the inside of the crater, too. The whole experience was magical.

Truly a fantastic spot. I went to both the summit and the Kalahaku and I can categorically state this was so much more peaceful and better for the sunrise. It's almost like a local's secret compared to the summit.
