I also did Haleakala at sunset. It was really beautiful! Songdoc- your picture is fabulous!
I always go out on a boat for whale watching or a snorkel trip- or both. We snorkeled at Shark Fin Cove on a day when it was too windy to snorkel at Molokini Crater. Snorkeling at Shark Fin was a great place and there was only 1 other boat there. Have always gone with the Pacific Whale Foundation.
The Iao Needle is a nice visit- very historical.
I like to go to Waiola Church on Sunday- in Lahaina. Service is a mixture of Hawaiian and English. Music usually a piano, guitar and ukelele. After church a lunch is served and everyone is welcome to attend.
Next to the church is an old cemetery where members of royal family are buried as well as many of the missionaries who came to the islands. It is beautiful and interesting to walk around.

Thanks, Sunbum. That sunset seemed to go on forever. (Maybe because I was freezing! HA!) Every time I thought it couldn't get better, the colors deepened. I was concerned about the drive down at night, but it was easy because all I needed to do was follow the headlights in front of me -- and the stargazing was incredible. The Io Needle was also a favorite.

Strongly recommend breakfast, happy hour, and dinner at Mala Ocean Tavern in northern end of Front Street in Lahaina. Outstanding food and service. And if you need new sunglasses, find the tucked away Maui Jim retail/repair corp center two blocks behind Front Street at Dickenson Street. It's an office building, not a store front.
