Haleakala National Park

Haleakala Crater, Maui's "House of the Sun" is the world's largest dormant volcano. At the top of the volcano are a few overlooks offering exquisite views into the crater. There are also exotic plants and insects that can be found here that do not exist anywhere else in the world. For the really adventurous, there are hiking trails leading right into the crater. Best viewing is early in the morning before the clouds roll in. Sunrise is exceptionally brilliant and awe-inspiring.

Snorkeling/ Snuba Diving

Take a cruise on Aqua Adventure’s Maui snuba & snorkel trip.  Snuba is a cross between snorkeling and scuba diving. Imagine a 20 ft. long snorkel attached to an air tank in a raft floating on the surface.   It’s safe and easy and allows guests to have the benefits of diving without all the gear or training. The boat leaves from south Maui’s Maalaea Harbor at 7:30 a.m. to the first destination, Molokini Crater. The crescent-shaped crater can be seen from the resort and offers clear, calm waters making an excellent location to snorkel or snuba. The second location is Turtle Arches where you will likely see several green sea turtles! The trip includes a continental breakfast and a deli-style lunch.
