The ride overall was very fun! For anyone going up the mountain, the rain was real intense and cloud cover makes it difficult to see. Dress in layers, wear long sleeves, have a rain coat, have some sort of eye protection for rain visibility. If you know how to drive a manual car ask for the manual slingshot. Manager was an awesome guy! Would do it again!

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.

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.

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 made it a great experience! Lots of helpful tips from which path to take to how to get the best out of the Slingshot.

Beautiful experience, we saw some beautiful places like beaches, trees, volcanoes, I definitely recommend it and the attention of the company employees was excellent, thank you very much

The most fun you will have on Maui! An exhilarating experience with fabulous views and a well-planned satnav route that means even the most clueless (such as me) won’t get lost. Add to that very helpful staff and you get something I cannot recommend highly enough. Just don’t expect to maintain a hairstyle that is anything other than windswept!

This was a great experience. The gps was preloaded with great spots to stop. We really enjoyed the drive up the volcano. A few tips. Bring a sweatshirt. It gets chilly as you climb the mountain. Wear lots of sunscreen. We under estimated how much sun we would get. Our next day we felt pretty rough but we are from the Midwest so we underestimated how much sunscreen to use.. we will definitely do this again

Go up the volcano, skip Hana and do the north road of Maui. This was one of the most fun times we had. Go fast, hit the corners hard and be heavy on the gas.

The slingshot was a great opportunity to get a great view of the island. The drive was amazing filled with beautiful sights to see! Kalan was the best! Definitely would recommend this.

We had a blast driving up to Haleakala, stopping on the way at Kula botanical gardens and Kula Lodge for lunch. The slingshot was very easy to drive - rides like a convertible sports car. It handled the windy roads just as well as the highways. This was a much better way to see Haleakala - no groups, no waking up at 1am - we went at our own pace and did what we wanted. We’d rent the slingshot again and we highly recommend it.
