The 15 Morning Tours in the USA That Earn Their Price

1.Haleakala Sunrise Spectacular with Local Breakfast

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 2,155 reviews · 10 hours (approx.) · from $254Our pick

Watch sunrise above Maui’s clouds at Haleakala, with hotel pickup, park admission, expert guiding, and a local breakfast included.

“The sunrise was beautiful, the driver helpful, the food at the restaurant was good. The drawbacks are it’s very early to get up, and long trip back when tired. I do like how the food at the restaurant was ordered ahead of time so that when we got there it was ready to go. It’s just that the restaurant was out of the way - making the tour longer.”

Review of Phoenix’s sunrise balloon ride over the Sonoran Desert, with a 45 to 60 minute flight, champagne toast, breakfast, and hotel transfer option.

“My wife and I enjoyed the ride. The arrival process, ride to the site, and balloon experience was nice and smooth. Hovering at about 7,900 feet above was not intimidating at all. Loved it! If you are interested in being in a space with your husband or wife, ensure you let the crew know beforehand. We ended up sharing the space with another kind lady. It would have been nice to be in our part of the basket by ourselves as we were celebrating our anniversary. But it was cool. I’m sure it would have been accommodated if I would have mentioned it. All in all, great experience that I…”

6.Harlem Sunday Morning Gospel Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 995 reviews · 4 hours (approx.) · from $85

Explore Harlem by coach and on foot, then attend a Sunday gospel service, with an optional soul food brunch to finish the morning.

“Dwayne was great. His ability to go from French to English was impressive. Shared lots of information. But I wish I knew before the tour that it was bilingual. It was a bit distracting, the constant switching of languages, and I would have preferred an all English tour. More time at the gospel service would have been appreciated. Did not get to hear any other preaching from the deacons or bishop. Loved all the sites along the way, especially the opportunity to see the Apollo theater.”

Watch sunrise above Maui’s clouds, then bike Haleakala’s switchbacks at your own pace, with warm gear, park entry, and breakfast time in Makawao.

“The views were amazing and overall experience was fun. However, we had originally booked this excursion, assuming we'd be back in town by 9am or so and we could continue on with our adventures for the day. However, there were multiple unexpected stops for random pictures or stories, etc, and it made the excursion about 3 hours longer than it should have been. The itinerary for our tour was such: Arrive at 3:30am Depart the shop at 4:15am Take a very long bus ride up to the top of the Volcano and arrive there at 5:45am Sunrise was at 6:20am We stayed there until about 7am and got back in…”
