Road trip

We enjoyed our first company on Maui and indulged in favorite tourist adventures.  This is some of what you will experience when you travel to this magic island.

So here is the deal - Haleakala Sunrise - totally worth getting up at 3:30 am to drive to the top of the volcano - Haleakala, to freeze your okole (rear end) off to see a spectacular sunrise.  Truly - wear four layers, hat, gloves and borrow the blankets from the hotel.  Do these people look cold? That is because they are!   No flip flops and shorts allowed.   The sunrise starts with an Hawaiian chant that sends even more chills down your spine with the awesome beauty of Haleakala crater. 

If you are young of heart and physically adventuresome - plan a three day hike through the crater. 
The vistas are breathtaking and you can enjoy the comforts of basic cabin facilities if you plan ahead.
HIGHLY recommended. FIVE stars for the ultimate Maui experience.
