Hawaii and perhaps many vacation destinations are known for glorious sunsets. Between five and six p.m. people pause, situate themselves for a view of the western sky.
On Maui, there are several options for seeing the sunrise from the top of Haleakala. Drive yourself to the 10,000 ft summit, join a comfort tour or the extra special tour that hauls mountain bikes to the summit for you, so you can coast 28 miles back to sea level.
My personal favorite is to rise early on Monday, Wednesday and Fridays go to Kihei Aquatic Center to swim laps. By 7:15 a.m. during winter months the sun will rise over Haleakala. Advantages: price free, more sleep and exercise too!
