Interesting Places in Maui
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. 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. A large park ideal for picnics, biking and hiking. Considered one of the world’s best windsurfing areas. 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. 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. Maui’s charming cowboy town and home of the 4th of July Jamboree and
Rodeo. 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. 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. World-class hotels, condos and resorts line this beach area and
championship golf course. Located on the south shore of Maui, this town has an abundance of
mid-range hotels, and condos. The beach is better known for windsurfing
than for swimming. 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! 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. 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.
