Food Scene

Excellent fresh fish and the best restaurant value on Maui. My favs: Grilled Mahi Sandwich w/ fries $12; Blackened sashimi $14. Seriously, the best restaurant value I know of on Maui. Group table where you are likely to chat up locals and travelers. Highly recommended.

Bistro opened mid 2017 this small eatery in central Haiku has delicious scratch-made greek food. Not a fancy place, but the people are genuinely nice and friendly. BYOB. My favs are the Moussaka, Greek salad, and unusual apple pie-ish dessert.

Paia Bay Coffee is the nicest environment to get coffee/ espresso and light meals. Located in a hidden courtyard on the Makai (ocean) side of Hana Hwy. behind the shops at the intersection of Baldwin Ave. Highly recommended.

Drinks & Nightlife

Live music most nights; From "Open Mike Night - Mondays to periodic DJ/Dance nights (typically Fri. or Sat.); Occasionally noted music acts. Willie's gold records hang on the walls, although he no longer frequents the place. However, when his sons Lucas and Mica come home for the Holidays they often play there. Google for upcoming schedule. NOT recommended for food. East elsewhere and then drink & dance here.

Parks & Nature

Located at the top of the trail from Oheo Gulch, the trail through the timber bamboo forest is iconic...green light, fresh water fragrance and the tympani of bamboo culms tapping together above. Hikers are prohibited from entering the water and standing beneath the 400' bridal vail waterfall with VERY refreshing water from Haleakala above, which means that skinny dipping while doing it isn't an additional infraction. Jus sayin' Hehehe. In all seriousness, although the experience is a breathtaking jewel of life, all those rocks did fall from above, so.....be careful.

World famous wind surfing and kite sailing spot. A number of major contests staged here. If you are not an adrenaline junky sail boarder, park in the parking lot on the point with lunch and watch the live water sport theater. < 2 miles from Luna House.

Essentials

A famous and popular health food store featuring local produce. 1 minute walk from Luna House. Some items are priced reasonably, but beware the exceptions in the produce dept. My suggestion is to use Mana Foods as a very convenient local resource, but do the bulk of your shopping at Costco and Whole Foods in Kahului.

Costco changed the economy of Hawaii. It's no surprise that the highest grossing Costco Warehouses in the world are in Hawaii. Gasoline is at least 70 cents / gallon less than any other gas station on island, and is often $1/gal less. You are crazy if you don't consider shopping here. 6.1 miles / 10 minutes from Luna House

In most places, Ho Foods is a pricy option. However, on Maui pretty much EVERYTHING has an absurd price. I highly recommend shopping at Ho Foods and Costco to the extent it is reasonable. Otherwise you will pay a big premium for inferior quality products. 7.2 miles/13 minutes from Luna House.
