Monday, April 17 — Clay Shooting
Today we’ll travel through scenic countryside, to the crater of a now extinct volcano, in which the range is located.  Think of it, you will experience all the thrills of sporting clays from inside a small volcano! This state-of-the-art sporting clay facility is adaptable to every level of shooter, from beginner to champion! (Lessons included!)

Tuesday, April 18 — Horseback Riding at the Triple L Ranch
Enjoy a one-and-a-half-hour private riding tour on the Triple L Ranch Maui. It is located on the pristine, sacred and undeveloped country above the Kanaio coastline on the southwest side of Maui’s volcanic crater, Haleakala. Routes start on the dormant volcano’s slopes and wind down through grazing cattle, lush vegetation and ancient lava flows that feature incredible views of the ocean, Kaho’olawe, Molikini and the Big Island. You will come away feeling like you are part of the family while learning to ride paniolo-style on the daily cattle checking rides.

Wednesday, April 19 — Molokini: A Unique Snorkel
Experience Molokini remains at the top of the list of “must see” destinations when on Maui. The snorkeling is some of the best in all of Hawaii. The backside of the crater is considered to be one the ten best dive spots in the world. Molokini is one of only three sheltered volcanic calderas that still exist. The crystal clear waters are home to an array of fish and other unique species of marine- life. Included in this five-hour cruise is a tropical breakfast, hot grilled BBQ lunch, beverages, snorkel gear and instruction. Reserve early as seating is limited. Check in time is at 7:00 a.m.
