Haleakalā Summit Viewpoint is known for the summit views it gives over Maui, and its 494 reviews place it among the most-reviewed viewpoints on the island. Visitors come from Lahaina, Kihei, Paia, Kaanapali, Wailea, Hana, Makawao and Wailuku, and the 4.8 out of 5 average reflects how consistently those visitors rate it. The viewpoint's own page at http://www.nps.gov/hale carries the details for planning a trip to the summit.
Kula sits on the slope below the summit, and the drive up from the coastal towns climbs through open country before reaching the viewpoint. With 494 reviews behind a 4.8/5 average, it ranks among Maui's best-rated attractions.
Maui's wetter season runs from November to March and the drier season from April to October, so a summit visit is easiest to plan around the drier months. Hawaii's islands are volcanic, formed as the Pacific Plate moved over a hotspot, which is what gives Haleakalā its height. No road or regular ferry links the Hawaiian islands, so travel between them is by air, and visitors based on another island reach Maui by plane before driving up to Kula.
