Meaning "House of the Sun" in Hawaiian, Haleakala is a majestic shield volcano steeped in cultural significance. Revered for its awe-inspiring sunrise and panoramic views, Haleakala holds a special place in Hawaiian mythology where the demigod Maui is said to have slowed down the sun, extending the day.
Proposing atop Haleakala becomes a moment of unparalleled beauty and cultural resonance. Imagine your significant other being captivated by the unfolding sunrise as you drop to one knee in this sacred space.
