Maui is often voted as one of the top vacation destinations in the world, and with an abundance of natural beauty, an easy way of life, and so much to do, it is clear why the island is so highly thought of. Even locals that reside on neighbor islands make regular trips to Maui to escape and take advantage of a quick getaway.
Getting out and exploring Maui is always a fun adventure, and with so many great sites to see and destinations to discover, any outing around the island is a good day.

Maui’s landscapes range from lush rainforest to dry desert, and everything in between, creating a diverse environment that is only found in a tropical setting. The famed Hana Highway wraps around Haleakala, and is where you’ll find a majority of the hidden secrets and captivating sites that the island is famous for. A drive around the highway is truly the best way to explore Maui and see some of the most remote parts of the island.
The volcano is not limited to only a drive around the highway, and there are actually so many more great explorations and adventures that take place on, and in, Haleakala. In the early morning hours, before the sun rises, head to the summit for the most incredible sunrise you will ever see. From the summit, you can see just about the entire island, and will have a new appreciation for this incredible destination. But sightseeing isn’t the only fun thing to do around Haleakala. There are fun activities that take place on the slopes of the volcano, including a long hike through the crater, Maui zipline adventures, and even downhill bike rides that will have you zooming down the slopes on paved roads, stopping frequently to admire the island’s beauty.
