The popular tourist spots in Maui include the H?na Highway, Haleakal? National Park, and Lahaina. The H?na Highway runs along the east coast of Maui, curving around many mountains and passing by black sand and waterfalls. Haleakal? National Park is home to Haleakal?, a dormant volcano. Seeing the sunrise on the rim of the world's largest dormant volcano is something not to be missed. Haleakal? means "House of The Sun" and witnessing the sunrise from the 9,400 foot rim of the volcano is amazing as the pre-dawn light gradually blossoms into a beautiful glow that reveals the volcanic landscape at your feet. Lahaina boasts an entire street of shops and restaurants leading to a wharf where many visitors set out for a sunset cruise or whale-watching journey. Maui is a leading whale-watching centre in the Hawaiian Islands as Humpback whales spend the winter months in the sheltered ‘Au‘au Channel between the islands of Maui county. Snorkeling can be done at almost any beach along the Maui coast.
