Days 1-3 - June 23-25
Leaving Honolulu and sailing to Lahului, Maui then leaving Kahului, Maui ... Maui is the most visited of all Hawaiian Islands and is the second largest island in the Hawaiian chain. It is home to pineapple, sugar cane, cattle ranches, and rain forests. Kahului was a sugar town by 1880; however, real growth has only come during the last 20 years. Also of distinction is Haleakala, the largest dormant volcano in the world, consisting of 30,000 feet of hardened lava rising from the ocean floor capped by a huge crater. It is estimated that 50% of the world's humpback whales return to Maui's warm waters where they were born and to mate. Kahului is located on the northern coast of the island on Kahului Bay.

Often called the "jewel in the crown of Maui," it is the second most visited spot on Maui after the beaches.
