Maui Sightseeing Guide
Sightseeing
A visit to the volcano is safe, fun and breathtaking. Allow 2.5 hours each way, and take warm clothes as it's cold up there! If you want to see the sunrise, you MUST book on the national parks website in advance, although space for sunset is pretty easy. The Apollo moon landings were practiced up here, and from the summit you can see the hawaiian island chain! A must do!

There are several operators to the Molokini crater that operate all year round. This is a great morning out, usually includes Lunch on the Boat. You’re practically guaranteed to see some form of marine life (such as whales, turtles, dolphins & fish) all year round, with whale sightings likely in January-March. This is still a great excursion if you choose not to get in the water.

a drive of outstanding natural beauty, as the road winds all the way to the village of Hana at the south east end of Maui. This is a whole day drive, so plan for an early start, and lots and lots of sharp turns and hairpin bends. Grab a waterfall guide for the drive as there are numerous places to stop. You can refuel and stay overnight in Hana. The motto that best describes this experience is “it’s about the journey more than the destination”.
