As you explore Maui you will find many different types of beaches and skylines. The West Maui mountains tower above Lahaina and Kaanapali in lush green majesty. There are giant white sand beaches as well as hidden little black sand beaches. The sunrise over the ancient Haleakala is beautiful both from atop the crater as well as from the shores below. You can certainly spend days, even weeks exploring by car, bus, and foot. There is one perspective that you won't be able to discover for yourself though. The only way to really take it all in is a little ways out to sea. As our snorkeling tours head across the channel to the island of Lana'i you see Haleakala as well as the Western mountains all surrounded by white sand beaches kissing crystal blue waters all around. Not only will you grasp the great beauty of the entire island, you will also experience reefs and volcanic formations far from any road system. We travel to the Island of Lanai which offers its own striking coastlines. Towering sea cliffs rise giant above many of our favorite snorkeling spots. Lana'i is mostly uninhabited and is therefore home to some really pristine coral reefs. Three different species of dolphin also call Lanai home.
