MAUI INFORMATION PAGE

We love Maui.  We were there in 2010 and we're heading back in September 2012.
The only down side is the approximate 11+ hours it takes for us to fly there.
I added this page for our friends who want to know more about this wonderful island.  Enjoy!

Interesting Places in Maui
 

Aloha!
 

Voted the “Best Island Visited” for the last 17 years by Conde Naste Magazine, Maui is truly a piece of paradise. When you arrive at Kahului Airport, the majestic volcanic mountains, sweet smell of tropical flowers, and friendly smiles of the locals will welcome you to Maui.

Iao Valley State Park

This historic and sacred state park is located in central Maui. It is an easy and fun hike through the scenic rainforest and streams with great photo opportunities of Iao Needle--the sacred burial ground for Hawaiian Chiefs and home to the Hawaiian Nature Center.
Visit the Iao Valley State Park.

Kepaniwai Park

A large park ideal for picnics, biking and hiking.
Visit Kepaniwai Park.

Hookipa Beach Park

Considered one of the world’s best windsurfing areas.
Surf Hookipa.

Mount Haleakala

Maui’s tallest peak that stretches from one side of the island to the other, and rises 10,000 feet above sea level. Haleakala means ”house of the sun” and a visit to Maui is not complete without waking up to the planet’s most beautiful sunrise at Haleakala. As you drive up to Mount Haleakala, you will find the farms and gardens of Upcountry Maui, where farm-to-table dining is defining fresh flavors of Hawaii.
Take a Hike on Haleakala.

Hana

The town of Hana is also known as Heavenly Hana—for once you drive the rugged coastal road to Hana, you’ll feel that you have visited a slice of Heaven. Hike through bamboo forest, bathe in the secluded mountain waterfalls, or swim in the black, white, or red sandy beaches. Take your pick of Hana Beaches.

Makawao

Maui’s charming cowboy town and home of the 4th of July Jamboree and Rodeo.

Paia

Once a plantation town, the revitalized village of Paia is filled with art galleries, unique shops, homestyle bakeries, and casual restaurants. Mama’s Fish House is the perfect place to have a lazy afternoon lunch.

Lahaina

Once a whaling outpost known for its taverns and rambunctious sailors, this town is now known for its abundance of great restaurants, shops and art galleries. Lahaina is also the gateway to Kaanapali.

Visit Kihei's beautiful beaches.

Maui Lani Golf Course

This 18- hole golf course is easier to play in the early morning. By noon, the winds kick in, and this golf course becomes quite challenging and fun!

Maui Arts and Cultural Center (MACC)

A world-class performing and visual arts center that selects an artist each week from Hawaii and abroad to bring music, exhibits, and culture to the people and visitors of Maui.

Wailuku

Maui’s county seat of government and home of historical buildings that date back to the early 1900s and can be toured in weekly public excursions. Wailuku First Friday (the first Friday of every month) brings Market Street alive with magicians, food vendors, jazz entertainers, and headliners from Oahu to entertain the crowds of local people. Shops and galleries extend their hours, and people mingle and dance in the street until closing.
