The beauty of this State Park, is that it is accessible to all: kapuna (senoirs) & keiki (children) alike and is a relatively short drive from the condo in Kihei. Its lush greenery and fresh water makes this place absolutely sacred. It is our family’s favourite place to visit. If you go off the beaten path, there are so many hidden gems.

This scenic drive through Maui’s stunning seaside cliffs and alongside waterfalls should be on everyone’s to do list. The restricted speeds on this 65-mile route takes time. There are treacherous curves and blind corners, so dedicate a whole day to this adventure and bring the Dramamine (if you are prone to motion sickness)! Don’t forget to stop by one of the many food trucks/stands for seriously good tacos or banana bread. There is tons of information available about Hana. If your not one for a long drive, helicopter rides are available, too!

One of the most beautiful places on Earth. The sunrise is SUPERNATURAL. You really have to be up early to see this magic unfold, as it can take up to two hours to reach the summit, and reservations are required to enter the district during early hours and can be booked up 6 month in advance. Bundle up: the Haleakala Visitor Center’s elevation is nearly 10,000 feet and much cooler than sea level (we had to wrap ourselves up with yoga towels)!!!
