Lahaina, Maui, Hawaii Cruises

Lahaina, Maui, Hawaii Cruise Port

Maui and the Hawaiian islands can be described as a paradise on earth. This beautiful island has volcanos, jungles, waterfalls and golden beaches. In addition, the temperature usually stays at around 85 degrees. Maui has been voted as the best island for 20 consecutive years by Conde Nast readers. As you explore this land you won’t want to miss a spectacular sunrise or sunset while standing at the top of the Haleakala Crater. This crater’s name even means “house of the sun” and Haleakala takes up 75 percent of the island. Highlighted below are some of our favorite experiences for Maui, Hawaii:

• Take a ride to Hana. The road that leads to this town is an amazingly narrow and curvy road that winds past waterfalls, lava cliffs and beaches – and it features 50 one-lane bridges.
   
• Maui was an important stop for whaling ships. Explore the Whalers Village Museum to learn about the history of whaling and see a sperm whale skeleton.
   
• Spend an afternoon on the black sand beach at Waianapanapa State Park. Here you’ll also see a sea arch and sea caves.
   
• Take a cruise out into the Lahaina Harbor as a naturalist gives you a guided tour of the marine life in Maui. Get your cameras out as humpback whales will be ready for the spotlight.
