Lahaina….come for the food, shopping, tour boats, the largest banyan tree in the United States and stay for the sunsets. We came to see the banyan tree, sunset and art galleries, in that order. Lahaina is the most populated/touristy area of the island, so if you do not like crowds,

If you are an avid birdwatcher, looking for a leisurely stroll, or wanting something off the beaten track in Maui, give the Kealia Coastal Boardwalk a try. It is a 2,200 foot boardwalk lined by the Kealia Pond National Wildlife Refuge on one side, and through a patch of trees,

Hiking, stargazing, watching spectacular sunrises and sunsets are all fantastic reasons to visit Haleakala National Park. The summit is 10,023 feet and offers magnificent views of a stunning Mars-like landscape….assuming the clouds allow you to take in the view. Unfortunately for us,

If you are looking for a beautiful, peaceful, oceanfront property to spend a few nights in Hana, you must check out Hana Kai Maui Condos. The property offers 17 units, ranging from studios to 2 bedroom/2 bath units. Five of them have unobstructed views of Hana Bay.
