What activities or sights absolutely can't be missed on Maui? We are spending over a week...?

Hi knotty, we are Hawaii addicts as we've been there 7 times ! Our favorite island is Kauai, but this s/b the last isle you visit as it is kind of laid back. Our 2nd favorite is Maui. Its shaped like a man's head & neck. Renting a car is a must. Here's what shouldn't be missed: a road trip to HANA and continue along the road for a visit to the SEVEN SACRED pools. Dinner at "Mama's Fish House" ( its on the Hana road & you'll need reservations). You should spend some time in Lahaina town, its full of nice shops and is a little like New Orleans. While there, you can go to the "Cheeseburgers in Paradise" restaurant. Another must, is driving north of Lahaina up to Napili and around the north end back down to Kahulu. Also, try to take a morning drive up to the top of the volcanoe "Haleaklea". I've saved the best for last so you'll remember it. Most definitely, you should reserve a snorkeling tour out to a crescent shaped islet called "Molokini" where you'll experience one of the top 3 snorkeling spots on earth. Its like going to another world. Jaw dropping beautiful ! We went on a sailing vessel named the "Silent Lady", she is berthed in a harbor south of Lahaina. You can get her phone number from hotel brochures or the yellow pages, also the hotel Concierge should be able to book it for you. Book when you arrive, and inquire what would be the best day to go weather wise. If the wind isn't right they won't go to Molokini.
