Maui is one of the world's most famous vacation spots because
of its beautiful beaches and landscapes. To make the most of
your Maui vacation, plan ahead to enjoy some of the many
unique
attractions the island has to offer.
Try something out of the ordinary – how about a spelunking
expedition in a lava tube, followed by a picnic in the Hala
region? Several touring agencies in Maui use Limo-Vans, and
limit tours to between six and eight people. Expert state
guides lead the tours, with a variety of tours available, so
there’s something for everyone.
This also may sound inviting, try the Maui helicopter tour and
have the opportunity and the advantage of viewing the
beautiful
Garden Island from the air, these helicopter touring agencies
offer a variety of tours that cover all the major points in
the
island of Maui. They can even let you have a quick look of
neighboring Molokai if you want.
Boat charters offer great adventures that you can experience
in
Maui like snorkeling, fishing, and whale watching. One of the
destinations preferred by tourists is the Molokini, and the
charmingly named Turtle Town. Both of these spots offer some
of
the world's best snorkeling. Charter boats can also transport
you to the waters where the humpback whales swim.
Perhaps you’d like an exciting ride down Mt. Haleakala, a
dormant volcano. The route for this adventure is entirely up
to
you, from 10 to 38 miles long down the mountainside.
Professional guides escort you, of course, and the tour
company
will provide you with the equipment you’ll need, including a
mountain bike, safety helmet, windbreakers and gloves. And
since the ride starts above 10,000 feet, you'll need
cold-weather gear, because even paradise on earth can get
cold.
Touring Mt. Haleakala via horseback riding is another
adventure
offered. Your tour guides will tall you all about Haleakala’s
history and geological makeup, and about the flora and fauna
native to Maui. The Kapalaoa Cabin Ride and the Ka Moa O Pele
Junction Ride take you miles into the wilderness, providing
you
with unique experiences all day long.
Or perhaps you'd like to experience Maui’s underwater world
firsthand. Aboard a 65-foot, fully air-conditioned submarine,
you can descend 125 feet to see fascinating exotic fish and
other marine life. The sub's crew will explain how the ocean
is
so much a part of Maui's rich culture.
There are even more exciting adventures that can help you make
the most of your Maui vacation. This is just a taste of what’s
to come.
