We will be staying on an oceanfront condo in Kahana (Hoolalani).
We don't like snorkelling or any other water sports as we don't know to swim! I am thinking of these
2 activities
1. Sunrise/sunset in Haleakala
2. Atlantis submarine
Can you suggest anything else?
Thanks!

Road to Hana one day
Haleakala 1/2 day
Stroll Lahaina 1/2 day
Iao Valley about 2 hours
Maui Ocean Center 3-4 hours. You can do this at the same time as Iao Valley. They are fairly close to each other. Maui Tropical Plantation is also nearby.
Whale watching tour
Beach time
Snorkeling - Noting that you can't swim, stop by one of the snorkel rental places like Boss Frogs or Snorkel Bob's. They can give you info where to snorkel in shallow water where you don't need to swim.
Lots of info. Ignore the Oahu info & look through the sites that are for all islands & just for Maui.

Definitely Haleakala. For me it doesn't have to be at sunrise, just any time of the morning.
I also liked the self-guided historic walking tour in the town of Lahaina (but not a must on such a short trip).
The Old Lahaina Luau and a show called U'Lalena at Myth & Magic Theater (both Lahaina) were my other favorites.

Drive times Maui:
You will probably have to copy & paste this link because of the ~

For Haleakala & Road to Hana from Lahaina/Kaanapali you have to go right past the Kahului Airport.
So add the times together.
Kaanapali to airport 50 minutes
Airport to Haleakala 1 hour 45 minutes.
Total 2 hours 35 minutes.
Kahana is about 5 minutes north of Kaanapali. So add another 5 minutes.
You will have to go south through Lahaina on Highway 30 to get to the airport.
