Maui offers numerous spectacular sites, one of them being Mount Haleakala, with its enormous volcanic crater which could swallow Manhattan. On Maui's eastern coast near tiny Hana is some of Hawaii's finest scenery. The drive to Hana is one of soaring Vistas, winding along the ocean past black sand beaches, lovely waterfalls and dense jungle growth. There is also Iao Valley an enchantingly tranquil Park whose remote, untamed, and inaccessible gorges rip open the mountainside. Another place to see is the town of Lahaina. This town, like no other town on the islands, preserves the nautical flavor of a mid nineteenth century Hawaiian seaport.
