    Discover Maui

    Places of interest on Maui

    From the twists of the Road to Hana with spectacular views around every turn to the gentle sparking warm waters of world-famous Kā‘anapali Beach, Maui has something for everyone. 

    Kā‘anapali Beach

    The sun-drenched shoreline of Kā‘anapali was long ago home to a flourishing ancient Hawaiian community. Its famous landmark, Pu‘u Keka‘a (known as Black Rock) was a sacred place where the natives believed the souls of the deceased would leap off to go from the physical world into the spiritual realm. As the plantation era came and sugar cane operations overtook the island, these villages gradually disappeared. Today, this resort area has expanded into a world-class destination with luxury oceanfront resorts, championship golf courses, shopping, and dining. For families, honeymooners, empty nesters, or sun-seekers, the golden stretch of beach remains the main attraction for snorkeling, paddle boarding, sunset sails, whale watching (in season) or simply relaxing for the day.

    Road to Hana

    Prepare yourself for mile after twisting, turning mile of natural beauty and stunning views. It’s not really about Hana as a destination - it’s about the journey getting there. Choose your stops along the route and take time to hike and explore or just pause and enjoy the scenery. Bamboo forests, rainbow eucalyptus trees, and numerous exotic plants and flowers provide color and diversity along the way. Waterfalls are abundant, some visible from the highway, some require a short hike. If time permits, continue past Hana to the Pools of ‘Ohe‘o (Seven Sacred Pools). These serene, tiered pools are fed by waterfalls and you can take a refreshing dip after the long drive (weather and conditions permitting).

    Haleakalā National Park

    View sunrise at the summit of this dormant volcanic crater for an awe-inspiring moment in time. The barren, but colorful landscape and panoramas transport you to another world. Relish the absolute silence, especially if you venture down into the crater on one of the park’s hiking trails. The slopes leading up to the summit are home to rare, native Hawaiian species of birds and plants including the unique Silversword plant. At night the vast, velvet sky reveals stars, planets, and moons for an unsurpassed stargazing experience. For ancient Hawaiians, the summit was a site for religious rituals and ceremonies. Sacred places were established within the crater which are used for cultural rites and celebrations yet today.
