This area is also a favorite destination for kite surfers, Wind Surfers, boogie boarders and snorkelers.
There is so much to see and do all over Maui, we suggest getting a rental car. All major car companies are available at the airport. If you do not rent a car, there are very reliable door to door transportation services such as Maui Shuttle or Speedi Shuttle. Golf courses, both public and private are close by. Shopping centers, restaurants, bars, convenience stores and full super markets are all less than five minutes away. Costco, Wal-Mart and K-Mart are conveniently located by the airport.
You can see the top of Mount Haleakala (Hawaiian for House of the Sun). It is a dormant volcano over 10,000 feet high. One activity we highly recommend for both young and old is watching the sunrise from the top of Mt. Haleakala, and then riding a bicycle all the way down to the beach. Tour companies will pick you up at your door, drive you to the top just in time to watch the sunrise, let you bike down the mountain and bring you back home.
Other recommended activities are: Maui Ocean Center Aquarium (optional scuba with the sharks), Pacific Whale Center whale watch or snorkel boat to Molokini, a cocktail or dinner cruise, learn to surf at the cove, Ulalena, a spectacular stage production based on the historical legends of Hawaii, Warren and Annabelle’s comedy and magic show, Kupanaha Maui Magic Show, Maui Tropical Plantation, Iao Valley, zip line tour, horseback riding, hiking, Atlantis or the Reef Dancer yellow submarine, helicopter tour to remote untouched areas, little beach (clothing optional), 'the road to Hana' or simply relax and spend a day at the world's finest spa close by, the Grand Wailea Spa. Then finish the evening with a traditional Hawaiian Luau.
