About Maui, Hawaii. You can also learn about this place. The attractions in this place are indeed very good. The editor mainly wants to tell you about some accommodation information here, as well as attractions and food. You can take a closer look. Basic information
There is only one Highway 30 in western Maui, and everyone travels on this road. Maui is very expensive, and everything has to be shipped to the island. There are three Chinese restaurants on the island (of course, they are not delicious to Chinese tastes). We are very envious that they can make a living on such a beautiful island, but their boss It's too boring. Alas, God, let me be bored instead.
Maui just takes a look around at the beach and Iao Valley to look at the scenery, and then goes to look at the volcanoes and goes out to sea to see humpback whales in winter. Maui is more expensive than the big islands.
The Silver Sword is also hard to see in Kaimao on the Big Island. It is said that tourists have seen it in Halekara Volcano in Maui.
1. From Big Island to Maui, it is a very short distance. You can directly use the small propeller plane of Mokulele Airlines
. Check-in, boarding, etc. are all in a shed ( (15 knives/baggage fee), it is relatively simple and open to the public. It was full with 9 of us that day. In the off-season, he also flew with two people. He flew over the sea and soon arrived in Maui. The airport is in the city center.
2. Maui jurisdiction: itself + Moon Bay + Lanai (98% of the land was bought by the boss of Oracle, and the remaining 2% belongs to the Four Seasons Hotel. It’s so rich. Why? You can be so rich)
3. The main places to visit in Maui: One day in the west (the head part), one day in the east, and one day at sea (go to Moon Bay for snorkeling, and you can watch humpback whales in winter) ), and then there’s Lanai.
4. The main attractions in western Maui are: According to the order of walking around from the airport - Iao Needle Mountain Ancient Battlefield, pass by the private farm and go in to have a look (mainly the ice cream at their house is so good) It’s so delicious, $5 for two tablespoons, not too sweet, made with fruits grown on the farm), Lahaina Town (a small town, all selling board paintings), the famous annual golf tournament The first venue of the Seiders Championship was held in Kapalua (there are Four Seasons and Marriott hotels and the Pineapple Villa area), the Kaanapali Hotel area (there is a golden beach), and then there are the super beautiful beaches of Yan'an and Yan'an. There are super beautiful acacia trees along the road, and cedar trees that circle around the Yankapalua golf course (suitable for sitting on the ground in a daze, with a little breeze blowing, to feel cooler, and there is no movement except the sound of the wind and the beautiful scenery). Kapalua is a very famous golf brand. Its LOGO is a coral saucer with a pineapple in the middle.
5. Molokini Island can be seen along the coast. Because it is shaped like a whale, it is also called Whale Island. It was originally a testing base for new weapons of the US military. Later, because of pollution to the ocean, it was moved after Obama came to power. Pearl Harbor, only soldiers or scientists can go to the island.
5. There are many beaches in the west where you can play in the sea. They are right on the shore (so even if the tide is high, it is not just a little bit on the shore and not obvious). You can come down to play after parking your car. After 1 p.m. When the tide is high, the waves will be big, so go play in the morning. Of course, there are waves and you need to pay attention to safety.
Sometimes you can see a cross stuck on the stone on the shore. That is the person who was washed away by the waves. If you can't find it, your family will stick a cross on the shore. Accommodation
1: Wailea Beach Marriott Resort Spa
I like this hotel very much. The scenery is super beautiful. I feel like I won’t get tired of staying in the hotel all day. I chose to stay in Wailea both times. At this hotel, you get two free cocktails when you check in. The Marriot is connected to the surrounding Andaz,
Wailea Elua, Wailea Beach Villas, grand Wailea, four Seasons, and Wailea
Points. Walk from the coastal side
walk inside the hotel Can pass all the above hotels. It won't be a bad idea to book any of these hotels. The locations are all very good and beautiful. You can watch the sunset on the beach from the hotel, it's super beautiful. Shopsat
Wailea is right next to the Marriot, very close and you can walk there.
2: The RitzCarlton-Kapalua
The hotel is beautiful and large, and the service is particularly good. When I stayed there, the overall facilities felt a bit old. It is said that they were renovated in 2016 and should be better now. . For those who want to play golf, this hotel is more suitable. The two famous championship courses are near the hotel. It is said that there are discounts for golf, and the hotel also provides free couple photos. Sansei
Sushi recommended above is also about a 5-minute walk from RitzCarlton.
3: This time I chose a B&B on Airbnb in WestMaui. If there are a lot of people going there, I suggest you consider renting a large house on Airbnb.
There are many large houses suitable for 6-8 people. Some of them have unparalleled sea views. If 6-8 people share it, the price is also very good. Cheap.
Food
*Mama'sFishHouse:
A restaurant that is very popular on the Internet. It is really delicious. There were already many people there after we got there at 3:30. We went out nearby After playing for a while, we went back for dinner around 4:40 and walked in directly. Fortunately, there were seats available at that time. Friends who want to go are advised to call in advance to make reservations. They all give priority to reservations, and then only accept walk-ins if there are still vacancies. One of the menu pages is updated every day, and the date of the day will be printed on it. It will introduce the freshly caught fish every day, including how to cook the fish, where it was caught, and who caught it. It is written on it, which is very cool. In addition, the restaurant has a great view and there is a beach inside. The row of parking spaces on the right side after entering the entrance is specially used for beachgoers. The restaurant's parking is free
valetparking, so you can just drive in and let people in the restaurant park, which is very convenient. I recommend an Appetizer called "WildFish
Collar", which is delicious, crispy and fragrant. When my friend went there, he ate at their Traditional Hawaiian restaurant. He said that the pork wrapped in leaves tasted delicious, and the crab
cake was also said to be good.
*SanseiSushi: Foie gras Sushi is super delicious. My friend likes to eat his DK Truffle Broth
Ramen, which has a strong Truffle flavor and is covered with minced crab meat. There are two stores in Maui, one each in Kihei and Laihana, and there are also stores in Oahu and Big
Island. I always go to Laihana's store, which is near the Ritz-Carlton and opposite a golf course. The scenery is beautiful. There are quite a lot of people lining up around 5 o'clock, because there is a Happy Hour from 5:15-6:00 every day. If you want to eat during this time, it is recommended to make a reservation in advance. There are limited parking spaces at the entrance. The two on the left say 30-MinuteParking
Only, but you can actually park in them. They are the parking spaces of the real estate company next to it. They all get off work at around 5 o'clock. , and no one cares.
*WowWowHawaiianLemonade in the small town of Kihei. A cold drink shop with lemonade as its signature. The bottle is super beautiful and suitable for taking pictures. Convenient parking.
*CoconutFishTaco:
Kihei has a store, right next to wowwow. His own brochure states that it has been rated #1 by TripAdvisor and Yelp for several years in a row. I ordered their Fish
Taco, which was really good. An order is two tacos.
*There is a Kahaku SmokeShack on the Road to Hana which is said to be good.
*FriedSpan by DaKitchen
Musubi is very popular.
*Café O'Lei Kihei
Address:2439SKiheiRd#201A,Kihei,HI96753
We went to this shop no less than three times because there are oysters on weekends and at night The sushibar ingredients are super fresh and the environment is nice. His papayashrimpsalad
I never get tired of eating it!!! The papaya is so sweet!! The cocktail is also great~
*KoisoSushiBar
Address: 2395SKiheiRd#113, Kihei, HI96753
This store is also very famous. It is super small and always full of people every time I go there. The key is that these people reserve their seats a week in advance. We went there twice but didn't get a meal. When we asked about reservations, they were already scheduled for the second half of the month. It was so popular. It feels like
Maui's "King of Sushi" requires reservations long in advance. I can only regret it and go there next time.
*Ka'AnaKitchen
Address:3550WaileaAlanuiDr,Wailea,HI96753
This restaurant is very suitable for a night date. It has live Jazz and the food is also very exquisite. It belongs to Asian Cuisine as a whole. I feel very comfortable and like their first dish. Attractions
(1) SouthEastMaui
Road to Hana
50
miles, more than 600 sharp turns and 59 road bridges one way, 46 of them are single-line bridges. After going there, you will almost certainly have to walk back and forth, because if you go down the road, you will reach a section that has not yet been paved. According to regulations, rented cars are not allowed to go to that section, and the navigation will not guide this route. My friend didn't go back the way he came, but drove down the road. He said the roads were all gravel and the car would easily slip.
If you need to refuel, the town of Paia after driving through Kahului Airport is the last place to refuel before arriving in Hana. The main attractions along the way are shown in the pictures below. I didn’t drive Hana these two times.
These introductions were compiled from other people’s travel notes.
Summary:
1: From mile #13 to #19 is the most beautiful part of the entire highway, where you can see the coastal mountains covered with tropical rainforests.
2: We recommend the black sand beach of Waianapanapa State Park. Various unknown coastal plants and strange-shaped coastal reefs form a stunning scenery.
3: Hana Beach Park and Hamoa Beach are most suitable for swimming and sunbathing. Hana town also has an isolated red sand beach, Kaihalulu
Beach, which is very secluded.
4: After passing Hana, we reached the edge of Haleakala National Park. Here is the famous Pools of Oheo, where waterfall water splashes into cascading pools and eventually flows into the sea.
TIPS: It takes almost the entire day, so start as early as possible. The one-way trip only takes about 2 hours. Due to the special road conditions here, it is best to leave at least 2 hours before dark. The restaurant MamaFishHouse in the small town of Paia passing by is delicious. See the restaurant recommendations at the end for details. You can have dinner on the way back.
Haleakala National Park
Watch the stars, watch the sunrise and watch the sunset on the highest mountain
In addition to the sunrise and sunset, the most beautiful thing is probably earlier, and it is completely It's dark night to see the sky full of stars. This is definitely a good place to watch the stars, because there are still a few plants halfway up the mountain, and there are no signs of any living things at the top of the mountain. This means that there is really no precipitation here, and there is no interference from impurities in the air. It should be out of the clouds. . The air is completely undisturbed and there are not many lights on Maui, so it is definitely a perfect place to watch the stars. However, since the sky has been bright for a long time before sunrise and no stars can be seen, it is best to reach the top of the mountain at least one and a half hours before sunrise if you want to see the stars.
Haleakala National Park is mainly about watching stars, sunrise and sunset. So either I have to leave at 2 or 3 in the morning, or I have to drive the Hana Highway back to the hotel in the dark after watching the sunset. So I didn’t go to this national park during my two trips to Maui, but the photos taken by others online are really beautiful. . Those who plan to go can also choose to stay in the national park for a day, in a cabin or tent.
TIPS:
Time must be controlled well, it is recommended to go early. Use weather websites to check sunrise times. There is still a long time before sunrise when the sky is bright and glowing, so be sure to estimate it well. In addition, there may be a lot of people, so if you go late, you may not have a good spot to watch. Even if you arrive a lot early, stargazing is still a good choice.
Be sure to bring more warm clothes. Temperatures at the top of the mountain are about 30 degrees Fahrenheit cooler than in Kahului near sea level.
Wailea
Wailea is famous for its five beautiful crescent-shaped beaches and first-class golf courses. It is a gathering area for luxury resorts. It covers an area of ??1,500 acres and has stunning ocean views. In an area three times the size of Waikiki, there's a sense of privacy, tranquility and freedom. Iconic beaches in the area include Wailea Beach, the 1999 "America's Best Beach"; Polo Beach is excellent for swimming and snorkeling; and Ulua Beach Park is suitable for early morning and evening walks and jogging. . WaileaBlue, WaileaGold and Wailea
Emerald courses make up the 54-hole championship golf courses that have made Wailea famous.

Parking: Free for the first hour, US$3 per half hour from the second hour onwards, free parking for shopping, ask the store clerk to give you a Valet.
Makena State Park
It is a very large, quiet beach with not many people. Makena Beach, also known as "Big Beach", is located in southern Wailea and is one of the best beaches on the island.
The golden sandy beach stretches for 2/3 of a mile. Swim or snorkel in the tranquil waters and picnic under the shade of the trees. This is a more secluded option compared to the crowded sandy beaches of Kaanapali and Lahaina. Makena
Picnic facilities and restrooms are available at Makena Beach. The park is open to the public from 5 a.m. to 7:45 p.m., and the parking gate opens at 7 a.m.
I would like to recommend another route that my friend took this time. It happened to be a coincidence that we were both traveling in Hawaii at this time, so we had the chance to meet. She and her husband both like to take risks and not take the usual route. Road, so I saw a lot of scenery that others can't see, which I envy~
" Drive south from Wailea to MakenaStables
The scenery here is very primitive and undeveloped. From Makena
Drive a short distance from Stables to the volcanic seaside. After that, you can only walk. The road is not difficult. On the left is the virgin forest, and on the right are various beaches, many of which are black. The lava stone beach is very unique. Because there are not many people there, you can see many small fish and crabs on the beach.
As far as Hoapili
There are three trails to choose from. Because my phone was flooded and there was no navigation, I only took the shortest and closest trail to the beach and returned to the original route. The beach was very interesting and black. Large pieces of lava stone are intertwined with white coral stones, and the waves are very fast, and the rock walls are very spectacular. You will see many people on the beach making various characters and patterns with white coral stones, which is very interesting. p>
From Lava Fields to Hoapili
The starting point of the trail is already beautiful. I saw people sitting on the beach enjoying themselves fishing and snorkeling. You must go to the supermarket or go to the trail first. Buy a pair of shoes from a store that provides marine sports that can be used to step on the rocks. This way you don’t have to worry about your feet being cut by the rocks when you go to the beach, and they also have an anti-slip effect. ”
(2)WestMaui.
The scenery on the way from Wailea to West
Maui is also very beautiful. It is a long section of the coastal highway, with the sea on the left and mountains on the right. Along the road, I saw many cars parked on the roadside in several places, and many people were playing various water sports in the sea. There was also a place selling fruit, on the right hand side, called Olowalu
JuiceStand, just On the roadside, you will definitely see it when passing by. But be careful with mosquitoes, we only stayed there for about 10 minutes and got several bites T_T.
There is also a place called Launipoko Beach on the way
Park which is also quite comfortable, very quiet, and the sea is sparkling and beautiful. But there are almost no beaches. They are all large rocks and connected to the lawn. There is only a very small area that is just surrounded by a circle of rocks to form a curve, so it is very safe. Children can play on the beach inside the curve.
The road I took above is the road that general GPS navigation will let you take. It is high speed and easy to drive. But if you like adventure, here is a route that my friend and her husband will take this time. Of course, your driving skills must be good to take such a route. There must be a reason why others are not allowed to take this route. In short, safety comes first (the two lines marked in red on the map of Maui at the top are unpaved and not allowed to be taken, and the navigation will not guide these routes).
”Road from Kahuluito Nakalele Blowhole
I had never thought of taking it before, and Googlemap did not guide this route to west
maui, but the scenery on the road is really beautiful. It’s full of scenery of coastlines and tropical rainforests. There are many private ranches with many cattle and sheep along the way. This section of the road is quite thrilling, with lots of traffic and many curves, but the scenery more than makes up for the hardships on the road."< /p>
Kapalua Beach
Kapalua Beach is suitable for swimming and sunbathing all year round. The right side of the beach is a good snorkeling area.
Located at the foot of the green Kahalawai (also known as West Maui Mountain), it is one of Maui's prime tourist resort areas. Kapalua's lovely coastline is dotted with coves and white-sand beaches, one of which was named "America's Best Beach" by the University of Maryland Coastal Research Laboratory. In the 19th century, it was called Honolua Ranch and later Honolua Plantation. Today, the 23,000-acre Kapalua Resort is home to the Ritz-Carlton, award-winning restaurants, more than 20 boutiques, historic sites and two renowned golf courses: home to the famed PGA TOUR SBS Golf Championship
-Plantation Course, and Bay Course, which hosts the Kapalua LPGA Classic.
*Oneloa Beach and Dragon Teeth: The road to the beach is not easy to find. Turn left after seeing Ironwood Lane. There is a parking lot opposite the gate and across the street. A path leads to the beach.
*DTFleming Beach: Once rated as "The Best Beach in the United States", when the sea is calm, the coral reef on the right side of the beach is a good place for diving.
*NapiliBay: A beautiful beach with a lot of people. There is a Napili Kai Beach there.
Resort. I don’t know what the rooms are like, but at least the location is very good and the view is super beautiful. The water in Napili Bay is very clear, and you can see several large sea turtles on the shore.
Kaanapali Beach
Once rated as the most beautiful beach in the United States, Kaanapali also has two championship golf courses: Royal Kaanapali Golf Course (Royal
< p>Kaanapali) and Kaanapali Kai Golf Course (KaanapaliKai).One of the most famous attractions at Kaanapali Beach is the daily diving ceremony held on Puu, the northernmost part of the beach.
Kekaa Cliff (Black Rock). Every evening at sunset, a cliff diver lights a torch placed along the cliff and then jumps off the black rock, recreating the feat of Maui's respected King Kahekili. This ceremony is just one more reason why Kaanapali Beach has become Maui's signature beach. Opposite Kaanapali is the open-air whaling village Whalers
Village, which has many shops and restaurants.
Address: 2435 Kaanapali Pkwy, Bldg H-6, Lahaina, Maui, HI96761
Lahaina
This is the best place to go out to sea to watch whales. Lahaina Harbor provides a variety of Various whale watching tours,
The best time for whale watching is from December to April every year, and the whale watching tour lasts about 2-4 hours. The most prosperous street in the town is Frontstreet.
There is a huge Banyan tree that stretches across a square. I didn’t take any photos when I went there twice. I found a picture online for your reference, but the photo doesn’t quite reflect it. Come out it's big. There are dozens of galleries and a variety of specialty shops and restaurants.
The Outlets of Maui
Address: The Outlets of Maui 900 Front Street Lahaina, Hawaii 96761
Time: 09:30--22:00 every day
Parking: at Wainee and Street parking on Papalaua Street
Honolua Bay
Maui has a place very similar to Hanauma Bay on Oahu Island. It is called Honolua Bay in the northwest corner of the island, and it is also a bay. In Kapalua, after passing the slothouse
beach (also known as Moluleia Bay) and Plantation Golf Course, there is a relatively small dirt parking lot on the roadside.
You will never think of crossing it when you first arrive at the parking lot. The rainforest behind the parking lot hides a quiet, peaceful and sparkling sea. It takes about 5 minutes to walk through the rainforest and arrive at the seaside.
The rainforest you pass is also very beautiful and comfortable. This place Suitable for snorkeling. Some people say that snorkeling here saw the densest school of snorkeling fish in Hawaii, as well as very large fish!
There is no beach and there are large rocks along the coast.
