Volcano, Lookout

Upon arrival on Maui, you will notice the huge mass of land that rises gracefully and symmetrically from the seabed to a height of over 3,056 metres above the surface. This is the Haleakala volcano, the landmark and one of Maui's main attractions. Dozens of craters, a lunar landscape, absolute silence and views for hundreds of miles are bound to leave a deep impression on you. [btn "Kahului Airport car rental prices" https://www.booking.com…

Coast

The area of the lava peninsula with sharp cliffs falling into the sea is popular for several reasons. Perhaps the most famous of these is the Nakalele Blowhole, a "geyser" of gushing water which, on surf, enters a cave under the cliff and then, under the pressure of the waves, gushes out of a narrow hole in the rock about 10 metres from the shore.

Coast

Natural lava pools created at the edge of the ocean with calm waters and dramatic scenery entice travelers to take a short break. The water will feel like a natural hot tub. Bring sturdy shoes! The path from the road is short but dangerous and unwalkable in flip-flops. If the waves reach over the rock wall to the pools, do not enter them, it is life threatening.

Forest

Another small stop of a few minutes on the "Road to Hana" takes you to a eucalyptus grove.

Scenic Highway 360, known as the Road to Hana or Hana Highway, is the undisputed top attraction on Maui.
