Fees & Passes

Cashless Payments

Beginning on July 1, 2023, Haleakalā National Park will be moving to cashless payments at entrances for all fees and payments. 

Credit/debit cards and digital forms of payment are accepted. Consider purchasing your pass ahead of time on Recreation.gov.

Moving to a cashless system helps to reduce wait times at the park's entrance stations and helps increase the amount of fee revenue available to support visitor services.
