Me and a friend are taking the plunge and we're going to hawaii for xmas and new years. We're staying in Haiku in Maui and want to get the most out of the vacation. The things we'd like to do are snorkeling, swimming with dolphins, seeing the sunrise from the volcano (friend told us) Helicopter tour, Surfing lessons, horseback riding on the beach, cliff jumping, and just lounging on the beach. Also - what would the best option be for New Years. If anyone can give us tips on any of the above that would be great. We have 12 days to do all of this. Thanks so much and i look forward to hearing from you all.

thanks

Well for snorkeling you'll probably want to check out the Molokini Crater. It's a very popular place to go snorkeling. There's also the Olowalu Turtle Reef.

As far as seeing the sunrise from a volcano, you'd probably want to head to the Haleakala Crater. Since it's so close to the new year, you may not be able to get a cabin but they do offer campgrounds.

Spending New Year's...check out the Kaanapali Beach Hotel, known as Maui's "most Hawaiian hotel". Reservations are a must so be sure to call in and check out the festivities they have lined up at the Kaanapali Beach Hotel.

Hope you enjoy your trip....let me know if you have anymore questions.
