"House of Sun" Haleakala Volcano

by PeterVancouver

If you intend to get to the summit before dawn to see the sun rise, take plenty of warm clothes, as it may well be hot at sea level, but it is near to freezing at the summit. Many people take thick blankets from the hotel beds for this trip. The Haleakala (Red Peak) National Park ranges through 5 distinctly different climates zones. The road to the Haleakala summit holds the world record for climbing to the highest elevation in the shortest distance (38 miles). The dormant volcano's vast moonlike crater floor with its towering cindercones is a geological wonder. From the summit almost 2 miles high from sea level, the Big Island of Hawaii can be seen on a clear day.The preference would be to get to the sumit prior to sunset, as firstly there are fewer people, the view is equally or even more spectacular, and you dont freeze to deathMost wise people brought their hotel bed covering with...

Banyan Tree

by cjg1

Right in the heart of Old Town Lahaina by the Courthouse is an exceptionally large and old Banyan Tree. The tree itself is over 60 feet tall and has over ten trunks that anchor it to the ground. This massive tree was first planted in 1873This massive tree provides a beautiful shaded area with benches underneath its branches. On weekends art exhibits and craft fairs take places under the shaded branches. Unfortunately some people do not respect the beauty of nature and sit on the branches, and pick at the bark. I'm hoping that visitors will take in stride the Hawaiian way of "Leaving behind only footprints", when they visit, instead of damage.

Whalers Village

by cjg1

Whalers Village is an outdoor shopping mall with a large variety of shops and restaurants right off of Kaanapali Beach. The shops include many brands you already know such as : Coach, Tommy Bahama, Sephore and PacSun. They also have local Hawaiian Brands such as Maui Divers Jewelry, ABC, Tori Richard and Na Hoku. In particular, I liked the open air setting along with the nice fountains throughout the area. The fountains had a nice ocean theme to them with sculptures of whales and fish.As for restaurants you'll find a nice array: Hula Grill, Leilaini's, Maui Fish & Pasta and a food court as well. My wife and I enjoyed some drinks and dessert at the Hula Grill and Dinner at Leilaini's.The mall also has the Whalers Village Museum that provides some history of the area.

Old Lahaina Lighthouse

by cjg1

My wife and I arrived in Lahaina Harbour from a cruise ship. As soon as we hit the Pier we saw the Old Lahian Lighthouse. Lahaina was once a whaling port and the sailors needed help with navigating into the harbor, so the Lighthouse was constructed. The original structure was wood but was changed to concrete later on in 1905. This lighthouse was the first ever on the Pacific Coast.

Hit the road and drive around Maui

by Gypsystravels

The resorts in Maui can be quite expensive and unless you have more than 4 days visiting this island, venturing out probably wouldn't be recommended as you would want to make the best of your resort. But if you don't mind foregoring the activities in your resort or have plenty of time to venture out or are staying at a less expensive resort , I would definitely recommend that you get out and spend a whole day exploring some of the island.Ferni and I have stayed at expensive resorts and like to enjoy what the resort have to offer, but we usally take one full day to enjoy other parts of the island. Maui has so many beautiful and natural wonders. Planning a full day of exploring is a good way to enjoy some of these wonders. I've included a small list of things that we have enjoyed and I would recommend (you must have a car), of course there is so much more to Maui than this very small list:...

Whale Watching

by Gypsystravels

I love whales, and anytime I can get a chance to see these majestic creatures I am ecstatic. Maui is blessed with their winter migration south and you can usually enjoy them from November - May with February and March being the best times to see these beautiful creatures. The best places to catch a glimpse of the Humpback whale if you aren't doing a whale watching boat ride is along the South and West shores of Maui like Makena, Wailea, Kihie, Ma'alaea, Olowalu, Lahaina, Ka'anapali and Kapalua. We saw plenty at the Papawai lookout as well as from Wailea Beach while sunbathing. If you prefer to get an up close look at these creatures take a half day tour on a whale watching vessel.Ferni and I usually visit Maui in January and have been lucky to see the whales from the resort beach as well as look outs along the coast.

Molikini Crater

by Gypsystravels

Molokini Crater is a marine sanctuary here in Maui. It is a small volcanic cone (caldera) located a few miles off the southern shores of Maui. The crater (caldera) is said to have formed over 150 million years ago and is one of best places to go snorkeling. You can see the caldera sticking out of the ocean from any area along the southern part of Maui. Because of the quality of the water surrounding the crater there is consistently superior clarity which makes Molokini an amazing snorkeling experience. It is said that visibilty can be as deep as 150 feet and with the abundance of sea life surrounding the caldera, that makes this an impressive place to visit. There are also large families of firds making the crater their home. Arrange for a snorkel trip with one of the many companies that offer half day tours. My suggestion is to arrange for an early morning tour. No matter when you go to...

Wailea Beach

by Gypsystravels

With about 450 yards in lenght this beach is one of the most popular along the south shore of Maui. Here you will find some of the most expensive resorts on the island, including the Grand Wailea, Four Seasons, Wailea Beach Resort, Marriott Wailea Beach Resort to name a few. Lined with a nice boardwalk, plenty of activities and restaurants to enjoy some lunch, Ferni and I have stayed at both the Marriott and Grand Wailea along the Wailea Beach and it's a wonderful beach to enjoy some sun and water activities. The beach does get crowded during certain times of the year, but there is still plenty of space for you to lay your blanket and enjoy the beautiful waters of Maui. If you're lucky, you may also see turtles on the beach. During one of our visits we saw some humpback whales in the distance.

Black Sand Beach (Honokalani)

by Gypsystravels

This black sand beach is located at the Waianapanapa State Park just past the 32 mile marker of the Hana Highway. The beach was formed when the hot lava flow went into the ocean causing the molten lava to solidify. The difference in tempurature caused the lava to crack into small pieces making the black sand beach what we see today. To get to the beach you must walk down a small cliff. The beach, imho, is more of site seeing beach, where you snap a pic and maybe cool down your feet. I didn't see anyone on the beach sunning or swimming, but a few families laid out blankets enjoying picnics. After visiting the black sand beach definitely check out the anchialine pools located in a cave.

Papawai Scenic Lookout

by Gypsystravels

If you are driving to Lahaina from Wailea you will come across this little lookout. Ferni and I stopped here to enjoy a quick drink and the beauty of the sea. It’s a beautiful lookout where if you just may enjoy a bit of whale watching. During our visits to Maui we’ve been lucky to see plenty of whales frolicking in the water. If you arrive during the later hours, stay and enjoy a wonderful sunset.
