visiting Maui for the first time
 

I am visiting Maui for the first time, in Aug. I was wondering if anyone had suggestions for fun things? Or just great views. Thanks.

Here are a few humble suggestions:<BR>1. Wake up very early and watch the sun rise at Haleakala crater. Dress warmly!<BR>2. Bike ride down Haleakala crater. Never did it but it looks fun.<BR>3. Horseback riding in upcountry Maui.<BR>4. Scuba diving or snorkeling at Molokini island. (Kind of crowded). Better yet, a sail from Maui to the island of Lanai (day trip).<BR>5. Picnic at Makena beach.<BR>6. Stroll around Lahaina town, enjoy all of the numerous art galleries.<BR>7. Maui's aquarium is small but enjoyable.<BR>8. Visit a winery on Maui.<BR>Aloha,<BR>Kehau

How could I forget? A fun thing to do is drive the road to Hana in a convertible or jeep.

I just came back from Maui and we drove up the Haleakala mountain to the top. That was great! What a terrific site. But we were not dressed warmly and were so cold we left after a little bit. Bring a jacket or sweater and you could stay there all day.<BR><BR>We went to the Maui Ocean Center and that was nice but if you don't have kids it might be a bit boring.<BR><BR>We went to Makena Beach on the Southwest side of Maui. That was huge fun!<BR><BR>We stayed at the Kapalua Bay Resort and my husband and son played a round of golf at the Plantation Course. There is also a great beach there behind the Ritz in Kapalua.

Kehau...what's the best company for horseback riding in Upcountry? I'm going in 17 days and staying in Hailiimaile? Could use your advice!<BR>Mahalo~
