Laid back in Maui

Overview

Quote:

Be sure to see the sunrise at Haleakala. It is spectacular! Dress warm though. Take the drive to Hana and take Dramamine if you get car sickness. Don't forget to snorkel and play a round of golf. Local plantations are worth a stop. View the sunset cliff diver in Lahaina.

Quick Tips:

Kaanapali has a rough ocean and narrow beach. Go to one of the local beaches along the main highway to enjoy a smooth ocean experience.

Best Way To Get Around:

Rent a car for sightseeing. Take drives and pack a lunch to eat on the beach.

The whole Bubba Gump dining experience was quite fun. Make sure to put your feet in Forrest's shoes for a memorable "Life is like a box of chocolates" photo. The food was very good, lots of seafood, and the view was spectacular.

Road to Hana

Attraction | "Drive to Hana"

Quote:

The drive to Hana is a curvy one. Be prepared! The scenic drive is full of lush tropical plants and amazing views. The quaint town of Hana is the remnant of a much larger fishing village. Spend the day here and experience life as a fisherman.

Old Lahaina Luau

Attraction

Quote:

This is the nicest luau offered on Maui. The entertainment, food, and atmosphere rival none other. The Hawaiian cultural experience was very moving, especially for the guests invited up on stage.
