We did visit other beaches but this is the only beach that we truly went swimming in or lazed around on.

Attraction | "Mount Halekala"
It does get cold up there so you have to layer clothes on and please take the blankets and comforters off your beds at the resort to take up with you and wrap in. The staff at our resort were the people who told us to take our blankets, etc. Now, that's something different, huh? Also, take a flashlight with you so you can see the stairs to climb up to the top of the volcano. We did not have a flashlight and it can be dangerous because it is so pitch black.
This is definitely a MUST DO activity. I just wish I had thought to take along a thermos of kona coffee.

Attraction | "Road to Hana Tour"
Our tour started out by being picked up at 5:30am at our resort. He then drove us somewhere for breakfast where he picked up a "catered lunch". We then set out for Hana. It was wonderful! We stopped at a national reserve, we visited what used to be called the 7 sacred pools, a black sand beach, and stopped at a little house owned by "Ginger" where we ate our catered lunch. Our lunch consisted of Hawaiian Barbecue chicken, kalau pork, a green salad, macaroni salad, rolls, and drink of your choice. It was very good! Ginger presented all of the ladies with a red ginger flower. The flower does not smell until you squeeze it and what a heavenly scent it is!
After we left Ginger's house we headed into the "desert" land of Maui. It is very rough roads that you are forbidden to drive rental cars on; so don't even try. I am 95% sure that you would break the axle on the car. We went to the Vineyard on Maui and sampled wine. I even bought a couple of bottles to bring home with me. Of course, they all have a slight pineapple taste! We were returned to our resort at about 6:00pm. A truly wonderful day on the beautiful island of Maui!
