00:00 Hawaii has a reputation for being one of the world's dreamiest destinations, with 137

00:07 islands to explore.

00:09 One of the most well-known islands is Maui, the second largest island in the Aloha State.

00:15 From scenic road trips to black sand beaches, here's a list of the best things to do in

00:20 Maui.

00:28 For the road trip of a lifetime, buckle up and drive slowly on the Hana Highway.

00:34 Also known as the Road to Hana, this 65-mile-long road connects the towns of Kahului and Hana.

00:42 This narrow and sometimes one-lane road is not an easy drive, but takes you through some

00:47 of the island's most gorgeous views, including Wailui Falls and the pools of Oheo.

00:59 For one of the best places to catch a sunrise or sunset, head to Haleakala National Park.

01:06 This national park covers more than 30,000 acres and is home to amazing landforms like

01:11 the dormant Haleakala Volcano.

01:15 Explore the many hiking trails of the park or look for endangered wildlife like the nene,

01:20 Hawaii's national bird.

01:27 Makena Beach is the perfect place for a relaxing beach day.

01:31 Located in Maui's southwest portion, the sand stretches close to 3,500 feet in length.

01:37 Swim, rest, or enjoy the scenic views of neighboring islands like Molokini and Kaho'olawe.

01:50 More than 200,000 years ago, a volcanic eruption created Molokini Crater, located about 2.5

01:57 miles from Makena State Park.

02:00 This crescent-shaped crater can be reached by boat and is a great place to scuba and

02:05 snorkel.

02:13 Just three miles from the town of Hana is Honokalani Beach, found in Wainapanapa State

02:18 Park.

02:20 The sand here is black, which is the result of seawater cooling hot lava as well as erosion

02:26 on the volcanic island.
