Visitors will soon be able to reserve the cabins on Haleakala by phone or the internet! For years, the only way the cabins could be rented was through an elaborate lottery system, but staring in September, that will change.

Those wanting to rent the cabins can make reservations from 1–3 p.m. (Hawai'i time) seven days a week, by calling 808-572-4400. All reservations require a credit card and the park is working on developing an online system.

The cabins are a fantastic way to get away from it all in one of the most beautiful parks in the world.

If you plan to reserve the cabins, keep a few things in mind:

To reach the cabins, you must hike a minimum of 3.7 miles (5.9km) to Holua, 5.5 miles (8.9km) to Kapalaoa, and 9.3 miles (15km) to Paliku.

* Each person is limited to a maximum of 3 nights per 30-day period in wilderness area campsites and cabins, with no more than 2 nights at any one site. Maximum group size in the wilderness is 12 persons.

* An adult age 18 or older must accompany each group using a cabin.

* Holua, Kapalaoa, and Paliku cabins have pit toilets and water available near the cabin. The water is non-potable and must be filtered or treated before drinking.

* Each cabin has a wood-burning stove with limited firewood, 2-burner propane stove, cooking utensils, dishes, and 12 padded bunks.

* In times of drought, cookware will be removed and you must pack in all your water.

* There is no electricity in the cabins. Bring plenty of warm clothes and sleeping bags.

Cost: $75 a night (per cabin)
