Directions to Haleakala National Park

Haleakala National Park stretches all the way from summit of Haleakala (at 10,023 feet), to the coastal area close to Hana on the southeastern base of the mountain. There’s no road to connect the two separate sections of the Haleakala National Park, but if you head to Kahului you can access them both.

There isn’t any public transport running either to the park, or inside the park.
