Things To Do
Road to Hana
The Road to Hana is a 64-mile route on the lush tropical east side Maui connecting the towns of Kahului and Hana. It has over 600 turns and several dozen narrow or one-lane bridges. You can either book a tour or self-drive and stop at as many or as few places as you'd like. There are several guides available online! Make sure to start early, otherwise you may be driving home in pitch darkness! (But seriously it can take 12 hours!)
Sunrise or Sunset @ Haleakalā Visitor Center
Come here for sunrise or sunset! There are stunning views of both above the clouds, but make sure to get there plenty early as there may be a line of cars to get in and you don't want to miss it while waiting in line! There is an entrance fee if you do not have a valid park pass. Also, a reservation is required for each vehicle entering the park from 3:00 a.m. to 7:00 a.m. You may book a reservation up to 60 days in advance and 2 days in advance of the start date. A reservation is not required for sunset.
Big Beach (Makena Beach)
Beautiful big beach, true to it's name. There is a smaller adjacent beach accessible via a little side rock trail called Little Beach.
Nakalele Blowhole
Short, but rocky, trail to a blowhole! Make sure to wear proper shoes as the volcanic rocks can be quite sharp in areas.
Kaanapali Beach
Beautiful renowned beach featuring resorts, restaurants, shopping, sunsets, and beautiful views of Lanai and Molokai.
Kapalua Bay Beach
This is a great spot for swimming, snorkeling, and stand up paddle boarding. This beach is in a protected cove, so the water is calm. This beach is right next to the wedding venue!
Mama's Fish House
Make reservations early!
Whalers Village
Shopping area with restaurants right next to the beach. There is a parking garage and shops and restaurants should validate parking (can also park here for Kaanapali beach access).
