The Maui Ocean Center, a wonderful aquarium.The Road to Hana, a drive where the trip itself is what it s all about.

Seven Sacred Pools)Watching the sun rise from the top of Haleakala (an extinct volcano)Bicycling down HaleakalaBeaches, beaches, and more beaches, great for swimming, snorkeling, or surfing (including body surfing and kite surfing)Sightseeing in Lahaina, a scenic old whaling town (also a great place for a luau). Don t miss the giant banyan tree. It takes up a whole city block.A whale watching cruise (sometimes combined with snorkeling). Winter is the season to see humpback whales. You may see a few from shore, but a cruise is likely to get you closer to them. They re amazing creatures.Snorkeling in Molokini Crater. It s an old volcanic crater off the southwest shore. One side of the cone collapsed, so it s crescent-shaped on the surface and boats can sail into it. It s sheltered from the waves and currents so it s a perfect place for calm and clear snorkeling or scuba diving.A sunset cruiseThe Iao Valley, another very scenic spot
