The main cost you incur for hiking the Pipiwai Trail is the entrance fee for the national park, Haleakala National Park.

Luckily, the pass is valid for three days, which means you can explore both districts of Haleakala National Park, the Summit District and the Kipahulu District, with the same pass.

Looking to explore Haleakalā National Park? The Haleakalā Sunrise Tour with Breakfast takes you to the summit to witness a breathtaking sunrise, followed by a delicious breakfast. 🌅🍳​

Since the two districts are not connected by road, you will find it virtually impossible to see both the districts the same day.
