Discover Maui in a whole new way.
|
|
Don't just visit Maui, truly experience all it has to offer. Take a journey into the history and stunning natural beauty of Hana and Upcountry Maui. Come and find yourself in an island paradise you'll never forget. Read on.
|
|
|
Centuries ago, Hana was a bustling community. Thousands of Native Hawaiians lived along the coastline in this isolated village. Sugar cane was introduced to the Hana area in the mid-1800s followed by cattle ranching, which kept the town thriving for a century. When the last plantation closed down after World War II, the population dwindled as people sought employment on the other side of Maui. In 1946, the owner of Hana Ranch founded the Kauiki Inn to attract tourists, which evolved into the celebrated Hotel Hana Maui.
|
|
Today, Hana is renowned for its friendly community and small town ambiance. A journey to East Maui offers visitors and residents a rare opportunity to revitalize and connect with one of Maui's authentically Hawaiian places.
|
|
|
The Road to Hana is a National Heritage Trail, meandering over 52 miles, 617 curves and 56 bridges, many of which are only one lane wide. East Maui's natural rainforest beauty unfolds as you drive past cascading waterfalls and clear pools, traverse lush canopies over deep valleys and under steep cliffs. Photo opportunities are endless on this scenic byway, heightening your senses. Make stops along the way to enjoy the forested state parks, arboretums and spectacular vistas from overlooks. There are botanical gardens to explore and roadside farm stands from which to enjoy tropical fruits and banana bread.
|
|
|
|
On the way into Hana, Waianapanapa State Park offers camping in public cabins and picnic areas on a beautiful black sand beach with a trail that leads to lava caves. Turn onto Ulaino Road and explore the volcanic underground world of the lava tube cave system.
|
|
As you enter Hana, check out picturesque Hana Bay guarded by the Kauiki Hill cinder cone. Visit Hana Cultural Center & Museum for historical insights to the area, and browse for crafts made by local artisans. Take a stroll through the luxurious Travaasa Hana resort and enjoy a beverage or spa experience. Shop for gifts at the resort's art gallery or visit boutiques in the Hana Town Center for made-in-Maui items. Between Hana's Beach Park and Community Center, you'll find multi-ethnic cuisine in food trucks and pop-up bistros.
|
|
|
Join the local conversation at Hasegawa General Store and Hana Ranch Store, both of which carry provisions. Beyond Hana, the highway ventures south and you'll come across quaint plantation style homes overlooking the sea. Famed Hamoa Beach features a scenic cove with sparkling black sand, white water surf and shaded picnic facilities. For more information on Hana visit the Maui website at
gohawaii.com/maui.
|
|
|
Climbing the volcanic slopes of Haleakala, you'll start noticing the difference in landscape and climate from the leeward coastlines. Expanses of green pastures are punctuated with towering stands of eucalyptus trees, temperatures drop by several degrees and low clouds bring moisture to the air. The combination of fertile volcanic soil and cool, damp weather has given rise to a bounty of produce, herb and flower farms.
|
|
Small upcountry farms cultivate Maui onions, Kula strawberries, pineapple and coffee, to name a few, along with exotic protea and fragrant lavender flowers.
|
|
|
Upcountry is a perfect match for agricultural tours on the island. You can visit Maui's only remaining pineapple growing and packing consortium and sample the King of Fruits in Haliimaile. In the arid ranch land of Omaopio, dairy goats graze where goat cheese is made; organic vodka is produced from local sugar cane and bottled on site. In upper Kula, explore an organic lavender farm and indulge in lavender botanicals; try a farm-to-table gather and dine tour; browse botanical gardens filled with colorful protea flowers and view strawberry fields that go on forever.
|
|
|
Head southwest from Keokea to Ulupalakua on a curving two-lane road that offers panoramic views to West Maui, Lanai and Kahoolawe. You'll reach an oasis of majestic trees that's home to Maui's only winery. The historic buildings go back to the time of King Kalakaua and Hawaii's first rodeo cowboys. Wine tasting and vineyard tours are available.
|
|
|
Eco-tours are featured in the form of zipline and tree canopy adventures on the middle slopes of Haleakala and at a working cattle ranch. There are also numerous mountain-hiking trails in the Waihou Spring Forest Reserve and Polipoli Springs State Recreation Area. You'll see pine forests, groves of native trees like koa and halapepe, stands of cypress, cedar and eucalyptus along with a redwood forest.
|
|
|
|
For experienced bicyclists, mountain biking trails traverse the countryside. Downhill biking from the summit of Haleakala is a true thrill ride offered by several bike companies. Paragliding off the mountain and over forest canopies is a must-do for adventure seekers. From the upper forests to the lower fields, a trip to Upcountry is another way to connect with the nature of Maui. For more details on Upcountry go to the Maui website at gohawaii.com/maui.

Aloha Maui Insider,
|
|
I am looking forward to my Maui visit. I believe there is a reservation system for viewing the sunrise at Haleakala? And perhaps a change in the per-person fees as well? Thank you for assisting us with our questions.
|
|
Best Regards, Sally from Seattle
|
|
Aloha Sally,
|
|
As of February 2017, to view sunrise at Haleakala National Park, you need to make a sunrise viewing reservation ahead of time at recreation.gov.
The online reservation system will help to provide a quality experience at the summit during sunrise hours (3am to 7am). The cost is $1.50 per car. The one-day sunrise reservation will not be sold at the park but is available online, up to 60 days ahead of the date of your sunrise visit. On June 1, 2017, the Haleakala National Park daily entrance fee was raised to meet national standards for parks with similar visitor amenities. The 2017 per-person fee was changed from $10 to $12. For more information about Haleakala and the new sunrise reservation system please visit the park website at nps.gov/hale or call 808-572-4400.

Dear Maui Insider,
|
|
Are new flights offered by Hawaiian Airlines on the west side of Maui?
|
|
Sincerely, Kathy and Brian
|
|
Aloha Kathy and Brian,
|
|

Hello Maui Insider,
|
|
We are planning on going swimming while we are on Maui. We want to protect our skin from the sun during our time in the ocean. Is there a type of sunscreen we can wear that is eco-friendly?
|
|
Yours truly, Shelly and Randy
|
|
Aloha Shelly and Randy,
|
|
The most eco-friendly sun protection is a hat, sunglasses and long sleeved shirt or rash guard. While no sunscreen has been proven to be completely ‘reef-friendly,' those with titanium oxide or zinc oxide, which are natural mineral ingredients, have not been found harmful to corals. For more detailed information on coral and sunscreen, you can read a flyer from the National Park Service at
cdhc.noaa.gov (PDF link).
