If you dock at Kahului, you will find yourself in the midst of an industrial port, so you will probably want to venture over to Lahaina, or if you are docking there an additional day, to visit other attractions on the island. The Haleakala Crater is quite a hike, but the dramatic landscape of this dormant volcano is well worth the trouble. Dress warm, as it is quite chilly at the top, where you will find rare and endangered animals and plants among the lava rocks. The views from the top include the island’s plantations and beaches, as well as four of the neighboring islands. The Maui Ocean Center is the largest tropical reef aquarium in the Western Hemisphere, and it features Hawaii’s native marine life. You are sure to find plenty to do to enjoy your day ashore on the island of Maui.
