If you love to snorkel, Maui will not disappoint you! There are so many excellent places to choose from. If you are traveling with someone who loves to snorkel, and you don’t, grab a book, a beach chair and umbrella and enjoy the beautiful beaches along the shore.

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,

It is day four of our trip and our last morning in Hana. We started our day by watching the sun rise over Hana Bay while sitting on our lanai, a picture perfect moment of utter tranquility. The empty beach was calling to us, so we walked up and down the black sand savoring our last moments in Hana.

Where in the world is the Red Sand Beach? It used to be extremely difficult to find. The directions from Fodor’s Guide Book give you hints such as, “past the baseball field,” “walk through the grass lot to the trail below the cemetery,” “do not walk in the cemetery.”

When visiting Haleakala National Park in the Kipahulu District, past Hana, there are two very popular trails to choose from. I recommend doing both of them. The first and shorter trail (.5 mile), Kuola Point Trail, will take you to the lower falls of Ohe’o Gulch and the ocean.

The Ohe’o Gulch, or Seven Sacred Pools, call them what you will, is just one reason why you should drive past the town of Hana. Spectacular waterfalls, bamboo forests, incredible beaches are some more, but this post will focus on what you will find on your way to Ohe’o Gulch and the Gulch itself.

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.
…
One piece of advice I would give to anyone traveling the Road to Hana is to stop and spend the night in Hana. The best waterfall on the island is past the town of Hana and is a 4 mile roundtrip hike, moderately strenuous, which you will be too tired to attempt if you try to do the drive to Hana and back to wherever you are staying in one day.
