    For an unusual island activity, Maui Cave Adventures will take you spelunking in Ka'eleku Caverns near Hana. You can take the short walking tour (for those six years old or older), or get down and dirty on a tour that involves some climbing and crawling (must be at least fifteen years old). 248-7308 www.mauicave.com info@mauicave.com
