Haleakala crater, the top of the volcano, is easily reached by car. Lots of people like to go up for the sunrise on the first day here because they go to bed early and wake up at 3am due to the time change. Kula lodge (you'll pass it at about 4000 feet on the way down) has bananas foster pancakes.

The Maui Ocean center (a really nice aquarium) is the most popular attraction after the beaches. It has a whale exhibit and a shark tank with the only Tiger shark in captivity. Ulua beach (access just past the Renaissance hotel) in Wailea is one of the best snorkel beaches in south maui.

Drive south from Kihei to the end of the road to see ruins of an Hawaiian village and lava flows, Maui's Haleakala is considered active because the last eruptions were only about 300 years ago and are likely to occur again soon (in geological time).

Front street Lahaina to the north and west is the favorite for shopping and trendy dinning. Some of the shopping is under the largest Banyan Tree in the Hawaiian Islands.

Paia on the north shore (at the beginning of the road to Hana) is surf central. This little surfing town has our favorite restaurant Jacques. The prices are good (for Maui) and my favorite on the menu is North shore pumpkin fish. Go in the evening just before sunset. For lunch (cost less then) the Paia fish market for the best fish and chips on Maui.

The road to Hana takes an entire day. Don't hike to water falls. There are plenty you can see from the road. Must sees are Waianapanapa parks black sand beach and the beach cave, the 7 sacred pools, and Charles Lindbergh's grave. drive the back road home. It will take you through Kula then turn to Makawao and have dinner at Poli's Mexican restaurant (reservations recommended).
