We will start the tour in Paia town where I will drive you through the town explaining some history and doing some people watching.

We will stop at the world famous Kula lodge. The views are amazing and there are usually some Jackson chameleons hanging out on the Avocado trees. This is the last stop for any food or beverage before sunset. The ladies here can be cranky and it’s always fun to see what kind of cynical comments they have for the crowd.

We have arrived at the crate. The crater is 26 miles in diameter. You could just fit Manhattan inside of it. On a good day you can see every island except Kauai. Temperatures can be cool here but have no fear I have gear if needed. Some nights jackets and wind pants make for a more comfortable viewing of Sunset. I will take many photos and videos for you to enjoy later. We will head down at Sunset and have incredible views of the sun going down as we drop 10000ft.

1 hour • Admission Ticket Included

Second stop is at 7000 ft and this is where we can change into some gear. There is a ranger station here and some Nene nest here as well. There is a small garden of Silversword here as well and restrooms.
