While you’re still jet-lagged, wake up early and drive to watch sunrise at Haleakala Crater (~2 hour drive). Haleakala is the name of the dormant volcano that makes up ~75% of the land-mass of the eastern side of the island.

According to Hawaiian mythology, Maui was an ancient chief who created the Hawaiian islands, and the crater at the top of Haleakala was the home of his grandmother. The summit of Haleakala is at 10,023 feet, and watching the sun rise over the 7 mile crater at the top of the volcano is breathtaking. However, make sure to bring a jacket or sweather because it is very cold at the top.
