Fishing Excursions: On Maui you'll have the choice of bottom fishing, sport fishing or spear fishing all of which may mean fresh fish for dinner tonight. Guided Kayak Tours & Rentals: If you're looking to get really close to the sea life, without engines or sails, then this is the way to go. Learn to Surf: When in Hawaii do as the locals do - go surfing! (It's easy and you're guaranteed to stand up the first time). Stand Up Paddleboarding: This has become very popular - it's fun, easy and serene. Jet Boating: Looking for high speed fun? This is your ticket. Rides take off from Kaanapali Beach. They don't call this boat "Insane" for nothing! Jet Skiing: Another fast and fun activity available off the coast of Kaanapali from May 15th to December 14th.

Biking Down Maui's Volcano: Haleakala This is something you'll only find on Maui. Biking down Haleakala Volcano scores as our #5 activity. If you Enchanting Sunset Dinner and Cocktail Cruises The 7th best activity on Maui is a Sunset Dinner or Cocktail Cruise. Not only will you enjoy great cuisine (and we mean it - the food is really excellent), but on these trips you'll watch the sunset while cruising along the gorgeous coast of Maui, and perhaps even get kissed (you might want to bring someone for this part). Expect to board between 4pm and 5pm, while it's still nice and light out. Most of these cruises last about 2-2 1 /2 hours, depending on the company and the type of trip, and will feature an assortment of delicious food and beverages. Many also feature live music. The companies we like for Sunset Dinner & Cocktail Cruises are Hawaii Ocean Project's Maui Princess (667-6165), Paragon Sailing Charters (244-2087), Pride of Maui (242-0955) and Quicksilver (667-2564). Bon voyage! five number six number seven number TOP 10 Things to do on Maui can ride a bike, this is an activity you won't want to miss! Not only are the vistas at the top of Haleakala breathtaking, but coasting down the volcano on a bike is an absolute blast. Rides start at 6500 ft., and you'll see the "Volcano Coast" of Maui, including cows, farms, flower gardens, horses, Makawao (The Cowboy Town), pineapple fields, and incredible views. Transportation is included on many sunrise and day tours. Sunrises are spectacular, but be prepared to leave at 2:30am or earlier (and that's not a typo!). Also, for sunrise trips dress warmly; it gets VERY cold (30°- 40° F) at the top of Haleakala. Breakfast or lunch is optional (depending on what trip you take) and a fun time is guaranteed for everyone. Our two favorite bike companies are Maui Sunriders (579-8970) and Maui Downhill (871-2155). Give one of them a call today to reserve your adventure. But don't forget to bring your sunglasses, sunscreen and jacket!
