To explore Maui, start at the top and work your way down. Mauis Haleakala Crater stands two miles above sea level. Hiking trails reveal a landscape of charred rock, cinder stacks and ash much like a moonscape. From there, head down the slopes into the rain forests to see 400-foot waterfalls, tropical streams bordered with native trees such and warm turquoise pools that invite an invigorating swim. Next, glide along the surface of the ocean on a surfboard or catamaran. Then dip below to greet a whole new world with brilliant colors. Make your way back to the resort beach, dig your toes into the sand, listen to the music of the waves and let your cares float away. WorldMark Valley Isle offers spacious studio, one- and two-bedroom resort suites that comfortably sleep three to six guests in 660 - 1,152 square feet. Studio suites feature one queen Murphy bed and a sleeper sofa with a full kitchen and a private lanai. One- and two-bedroom resort suites feature one queen bed in the master, two twin beds in the guest room and a queen Murphy bed in the living area. A full kitchen makes it easy to whip up a delicious meal for the family, while a washer/dryer in each suite (except studio) enable you to save money on baggage fees at the airport. After a long day of exploring, step out onto the lanai to view the stars while breathing in the sweet, ocean air. Make plans to hop aboard the Sugar Cane Train, where a singing conductor will serenade you while pointing out sites of interest as your locomotive chugs along the tracks. Another popular attraction includes the Maui Ocean Center, where you can learn all about the marine life that inhabits the waters around Hawaii. Also, the Iao Valley State Park is home to one of Maui's most recognizable landmarks - the Iao Needle is a popular 2,250-foot natural stone pinnacle that makes for an ideal attraction for easy hiking and sightseeing in this 4,000-acre park.
