I can think of three things:

1) Alexander & Baldwin Sugar Museum

2) Upcountry art galleries and shops

3) Head to beach, watch wind surfers

You won't be able to linger at any of these, but with a rental car, you might be able to spend two hours at one of these spots.

Hang out in Paia. It's a fun and funky town not far from the airport - 25 min. max.

1) Have lunch or dinner at Mama's Fish House (in Paia or Kuau, I cant remember).

2) Visit the Maui Tropical Plantation on 30 near Waikapu. A little touristy but not bad. Tram ride through the property showing many crops, plants and flower species in Hawai'i.

3) Go to the Maui Ocean Center in Maalaea Harbor. Largest aquarium in Hawai'i.

What would I do? Drive to Kaanapali Beach and have a few Mai Tai's at the Hula Grill. It is right on the beach at Whaler's Village. Hawaiian music, fantastic sunsets, awesome. It will be pushing it but it would be worth it.

I am a little rusty on how long it takes to drive from the airport to Kaanapali Beach. Maybe 45 minutes? Maybe someone else can help with this.
