The One Thing You Don't Want to Miss

Explore Haleakala Crater, a dormant volcanic crater Hawaiians once considered one of the most sacred places on the island. Haleakala Crater is the highest point on Maui at 10,023 feet above sea level, so you'll have unparalleled views of the island from the summit. The volcano last erupted in 1790. However, evidence of volcanic activity from long ago abounds in the stunning streaks of gray, red, yellow and black that mark the flow paths of lava, ash and cinder.

Other Fun Things to Do

	Explore the varied flora of the beautiful Iao Valley State Park and the Maui Tropical Plantation.
	Go on a whale watch and experience the grace and beauty of one of the earth's largest living creatures, the humpback whale. (Note: This excursion is only available from December to mid-May.)
