When you plan your trip to Maui, one of the first things you'll want to add to your itinerary is a volcano tour of Maui. The largest dormant volcano in the world is located in Maui and is a must-see for anybody that plans to visit the island. Over 10,000 feet tall, Haleakala has not erupted since the 1600's and it is surrounded by Haleakala National Park's almost 30,000 acres. You will be able to enjoy this all when you schedule this adventure. If you are up for a volcano tour, you'll want to decide how you would like to experience the volcano. Do you prefer to view the volcano from above? If so, you can take a volcano tour by helicopter and experience the beautiful scenery from high above the area. There are several touring agencies that you can book a volcano tour with. Offering trips during the bright sun of the day or the scenic sunset in the evening, the tour will allow you to experience the magnificence of Maui while relaxing within the helicopter. If, however, you prefer a more hands-on experience, you will want to take a volcano tour on bike. This tour will allow you to descend almost 10,000 feet on a bike that is especially designed for comfortable and safe riding. The tour guide will first give safety lessons and make sure you are properly geared. Along the trip down the volcano, you'll find many areas to stop and take in the scenery. Just don't forget to bring your camera as this is a part of your trip that you’ll definitely want to brag about! When you choose a bike trip, you should make sure that you wear layered clothing as it will be a little chilly up at the top. As you descend, you'll want to remove layers. You will also want to make sure you have shoes that have closed-toes, as well as sunglasses and, of course, your enthusiasm. This is an adventure you'll never forget and as long as you are relatively healthy, you will do fine on this bike tour. When choosing an air tour, be prepared to spend approximately $300 or more per person. Some flights for this price are as long as two to three hours. However, if you are looking to enjoy the scenery and watching your pennies, taking the bike route might be your best option. You can enjoy the 38-mile bike ride for as little as $100 per person and choose whether to take it at sunrise or midday. A Maui volcano tour is one that will live in your memory forever. As you explore the volcano on bike or view from a helicopter above, you will be overwhelmed by the power that once rocked this island. As Haleakala is the world's largest dormant volcano, you will never see something of this magnitude again. When you visit Maui, make sure you take a volcano tour so you can experience this wonder for yourself. |
