On our last full day, we visited the Maui Ocean Center in the morning. We had lunch at their restaurant overlooking Maalaea Harbor. Then we went for a walk at the Kealia Pond, but it was dry and there were few birds. Next, we drove to Wailuku to view some native temple foundations. We ended the day with a drive up the Iao Valley were we saw some feral cats getting fed by someone who runs a feline neuter and release program.
