28 Watching marine life underwater is amazing. The shallow area of the ocean (less then twenty feet deep) has more marine life, light, and color than any other part of the ocean. And I think nothing beats a glass bottom boat for getting up close and personal with Maui's sea critters, and taking a peek into their natural habitat where everything seems to be occurring in slow motion. You don't even have to get wet to experience them! Amazing coral formations (yes, they're considered sea creatures), urchins, starfish, turtles, schools of brightly colored fish, and even octopus make Maui their home. There's something truly magical about going underwater and being dazzled by the beauty of the shallow reefs, and it's one thing that will make your vacation even more special. Riding a bicycle down Haleakala is one of the most thrilling experiences on Maui. I love it because you notice so much more than if you were riding in a car : silversword, cows and horses grazing sublimely in lush green pastures, plus amazing island, mountain and ocean views. Oh, and it's the best place on Maui to see the sunrise too! Bike the Volcano A unique adventure awaits you. Phil Feliciano has been a fixture on the Maui cycling scene since 1982.
