Sightseeing
Some of the best snorkeling and diving in the world is at Molokini crater. The visibility is incredible and you can usually see the bottom clearly through 80 feet of water.

Banyan Tree Park has to be experienced. What looks like a park full of trees is actually a single tree with many trunks. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lahaina_Banyan_Court_Park

Daily Cliff Dive Ceremony (you can watch this from Ka'anapali beach as well)
"As the sun begins its slow dive into the ocean, torch lighting signals the nightly ritual of Lele Kawa (cliff diving). Legend tells us the last chief of Maui, Kahekili (Thunderer), proved his spiritual strength by leaping from sacred Pu’u Keka’a to the Pacific. With sunset painting the sky, a young cliff diver honors his heritage each evening by re-tracing footsteps in the sand on Kaanapali Beach. A chant of old Hawai'i begins the progression of our warrior; the echo of the conch shell announces his arrival. He leaves a trail of glowing torches surrounding the lagoon as he makes his way to Black Rock. Upon reaching the summit, he offers his torch to the ocean below, casts his flower lei into the sea; and finally takes the breathtaking dive from Black Rock into the rolling surf below.
Enjoy this nightly tradition at the poolside Cliff Dive Grill. "

Captian Steve's whale watches are the best. If you happen to be here during whale season I highly recommend getting out on the water

Parks & Nature
Sheriff William Owen Smith planted an Indian banyan tree in the courtyard square in 1873 to memorialize the 50th anniversary of the first American Protestant mission in Lahaina. The banyan tree has become the largest banyan tree in Hawaii, and one of the largest banyan trees in the United States. Its extensive trunk and aerial root system now covers 0.66 acres. It is truly massive and an impressive sight to see. Also located on the site are ruins of an old fort built from blocks of coral.
Due to the fires access to this park may be restricted, and much of old Lahina town is in ruins.
