<h3>Things To Do</h3>

<p><span class="aboutTextLeft"></span>There is no shortage of things to do on Maui from waterfall hikes and sunset sailing to scuba diving and snorkeling amidst colorful fish on tropical coral reefs. Drive to the top of Haleakala Volcano for breathtaking views and great hikes through the high forests and down into the volcano's summit crater. The drive out to "Heavenly Hana" is renowned for its many turns, one lane bridges, waterfalls and expansive coastal views. Just past Hana in Kipahulu is the lower section of Haleakala National Park where you can hike through a bamboo grove, swim in the Pools of Oheo and see thundering waterfalls. Ocean lovers will enjoy the beautiful beaches on Maui's western shore from Kaanapali and Kapalua to Makena and Wailea. Take a boat ride out to the crescent-shaped islet of Molokini about three miles offshore to snorkel or scuba dive in an ancient crater amidst myriad colorful fish and an array of fascinating marine life.</p></div>

<h3>Nearby Beaches</h3>

<p><span class="aboutTextRight"></span>More than 80 beaches on Maui provide many opportunities for water sports, beach strolls, picnics and pleasant days in the sunshine and azure waters. Maui beaches are also among the best beaches in Hawaii for viewing humpback whales passing by offshore during the winter months.

Just to the south is Kaanapali Beach with exceptionally clear water and excellent snorkeling near the Black Rock section of the beach. A paved beach walk onshore connects the resort restaurants and shops including Whalers Village. Further south on the western shore is Wailea Beach with views of Lanai, Kahoolawe and Molokini Islet offshore and protected on each end by lava points. Just south of Wailea is the palm-fringed crescent of Makena Beach, a long stretch of golden sand between two lava rock points. Waianapanapa State Park on Maui's eastern coast just before Hana town is known for its stunning shoreline scenery. The half-moon shaped Hamoa Beach in Hana sits beneath lava sea cliffs in a tropical setting and is popular for surfing and bodysurfing as well as snorkeling when ocean conditions are calm.</p></div>
