all off the top of my head...

the crater is a cool excursion, which may be where you are already going to snorkle.

kihei has a surf school at the public park/beach. And a food truck park with a paia fish market nearby. lots of good places especially south maui fish: https://share.google/MonwJbMq3gOqld8nY

if you plan to do sunrise at haleakala, go the first full day that you're there (easier to get up before getting used to local time).

try to get a spot at the bar at mama's since there's likely not reservations a month out. or go to paia fish house (not the same, but good).

do the road to hana...in fact, try to drive as much of the costal roads as possible. last time we went we got a big truck (only rental left) and that turned out amazing. it was so big that i didn't worry about the delivery trucks on the narrow roads.

cool things on the way to hana (in order from east to west - get the narration app...I think ATL made that rec
):
paia - cool town
mama's
this beach https://share.google/JaLvQgccg9koX5x6O for seals

twin falls...hike to falls and pools for swiming. you can keep climbing to (maybe 5) different falls. https://share.google/ViFUqUYu69n7cVUOb

black sand beach (reservations needed) https://share.google/EAiWkXUelaXY2fQBe

hana is a cool town with food trucks at the south end on the way to pink sand beaches

driving up north, this hike is good. https://share.google/I9Vv42D0fruiJbmVU

imo, this drive is harder than hana, but you get to see amazing cliff-side views and this blowhole: https://share.google/IeZeVp0GhEh3zB8rN

South of wailea, the terrain turns volcanic at the southern tip. black rock everywhere. a cool experience. https://share.google/eiEUVmhvZCHO9D2EG

on the way there tons of beaches with great sunset views. this one (i think) is the nude beach, if that's your jam.

park and hike on the trail to the right over the rock formation
