Wherever you go on the island you'll find tourist maps that list all of
the activities available from parasailing and helecopter tours to luaus
and whale watching. Check Out What's Happening in Lahaina Halloween in Lahaina Haleakala - When you first arrive from the mainland U.S. You're going to wake up early. So, if you're going to drive up to the crater at Haleakala to watch the sunrise, do it early in your trip (allow 2 hours to drive to the top). Take warm clothing because at 13,000 feet, it's as cold as Vail, Colorado. Activity: You can schedule a guided, 38-mile bike ride down Haleakala. Haleakala Park Information (click here) Heavenly Hana It's a beautiful day trip to Hana--an artist colony on the southeast side of Maui. It takes about three hours to drive each way because the last 30 miles are narrow, winding roads and you'll want to stop and photograph the waterfalls along the way. Continue past Hana to the Seven Sacred Pools. To find out more about the National Parks of Hawaii Click here Paia and Makawao On the way to Hana, you'll go through Paia a laidback town with interesting shops. Turn right at the light and the road will take you to Makawao another interesting shopping and eating destination. ![]() Iao Valley Taro Farms and Iao Needle Luau - Try Royal Hawaiian Luau (next door), Hyatt Drums of the Pacific Luau,The Old Lahaina Luau, or Marriott Luau. Great stage shows, Hawaiian buffet and all the Mai Tais you can drink. The Old Lahaina Luau has the best venue: the ocean is the backdrop to the show. Drums of the Pacific has a better stage show. We haven't been to the Marriott. 2-for-1 discounts are often available with your tour package (Saving $80 or more.) Lahaina - The Whaling Port
