Such a fun experience! We took the Slingshot to the top of Haleakala We ran into rain on the way back down and a bit in upcountry, but that made the experience all the more memorable. The only caveat I would give is that the GPS in the Slingshot isn't great. It had us turning on dead-end roads a couple of times, but if you have Waze or another app, you'll be fine.

Great Ride

Helpful service and advise. Great Experience! We rode up to Haleakala Volcano. The views are out of this world. Cruising in the Slingshot got a lot of attention from others at the various stops.

Great Trip. Sun protection will make or break it for you.

Published on Aug, 2024

It was an exciting experience driving the slingshot up and down Haleakalā. It was amazing when the path started up the Volcano. The road directs you towards the clouds. Before you know it, you're going through and above it. The views are spectacular. The first 40 minutes of the drive get a little sweaty because it's warm at sea level. When you start the path up the volcano, the temperature drops 20 degrees, and the wind screams in your ear. Pro Tips: A LOT OF SUN PROTECTION. This car has no top so you are at the mercy of the sun. There is no escape. If you fall short in preparation, you will burn for it. I did it in a long sleeve and shorts. It was not adequate. A hat/visor and clothing covering your arms and legs is the best way since it is cold and windy at the top. You must apply sunscreen and re-apply often. The sun intensifies as you drive through the clouds. When you're at the rental and dressed based on this review, you will feel that you are overdressed and that it's hot. Congratulations, you arrived correct. Double-apply sunscreen before you drive off to all exposed body parts (don't forget the ears!). Reapply at the Welcome Center. Reapply at the summit. Reapply Reapply Reapply. It will get COLD. No matter how hot it is when you leave. It is much much colder once the elevation rises. If the cold doesn't get you, the chill will. Bring a sweater. Altitude sickness is real at above 10,000ft where the summit is. I didn't see any supplemental oxygen sold up there so be careful. I was okay, but my partner could only last about 30 minutes before the dizziness and nausea kicked in.

Fun, fun, fun

Driving the slingshot was so much fun. The tour to the top of the volcano was pre-loaded in the gps and this was way better than being on a tour bus. Callan was polite and explained how everything worked. He even gave some great restaurant suggestions. It was well worth it.

Aloha Motorsports was great!
