Maui - Iao NeedleAppropriately named, this full day tour shows you a few of Maui’s magnificent highlights. In just 37 miles, you’ll go from sea level to 10,023 feet to the top of Mt. Haleakala. The meandering road up the volcano flaunts stunning views of Maui, the Pacific Ocean, and West Maui Mountains, so have your camera ready. Along the way, your tour guide will tell you interesting tidbits, like the fact that this spot is regarded as one of the earth’s powerful energy points. Next, you’ll descend into Iao Valley where you’ll immediately understand why Maui was coined “The Valley Isle.” As you ride up the valley, you quickly realize you’re in a Maui - Haleakalapeaceful rainforest. This is where the bright green Iao Needle shoots up from the ground, as if profoundly pointing at the blue sky. Tropical plants, waterfalls, and swimming holes accentuate this verdant wonderland. The final stop of the tour is Lahaina, an old whaling seaport lined with restaurants, shops and galleries. This quaint little town happens to be one of Hawaii’s most popular shopping destinations. Here, tour guides will turn you loose for over two hours of shopping and strolling. The perfect end to a perfect day of Maui sightseeing.
