Seven Pools and the Road to Hana etc.

My favorite day excursion on Maui is the trip to the Seven Pools. It's a gorgeous drive right along the north-east coast beneath Haleakala. However, I would not do the trip every year if I didn't get to swim at the beautiful black sand beach or at the Seven Pools.
To me the highlight of the trip is cliff jumping and, if the water is flowing hard enough, riding the natural water slide into the bottom pool. The Seven Pools is a great place to have lunch and on the way back you can stop at the winery for some pineapple wine. Also, if you like to drive fast on one lane roads the Road to Hana is perfect for you.

I would recommend turning the volume up on the video below. Grant, Marty, and Pete do a nice "Mystery Science Theater" commentary on all of the jumpers and it's hard to hear unless the volume is high.
