Sights in Maui
"I’m a big fan of Molokini Crater, which has an inner protected area for snorkeling. You’re safe from swell and the water clarity is far better than off the shore. Molokini is also a reserve, so the ocean life is diverse and abundant. We love making the trip to Molokini, which is only a few miles off shore."
"Start the day with an express tour of snorkeling at Molokini Crater, as some boats, like Kai Kanani, have you back before 9 a.m. From there just focus on one part of the island, whether it’s experiencing Lahaina, beach-hopping in Wailea or simply taking the entire day to drive the Road to Hana."
"We selected the Molokini Crater and Turtle Arches Tour with the Pacific Whale Foundation and could not have been happier. The staff was friendly, the gear was clean and fit well, and the included lunch, while nothing fancy, hit the spot."
"Tucked in the shadows of the iconic banyan tree, Lahaina’s 1859 courthouse is a repository of history and art. Its location beside the harbor is no coincidence: smuggling was so rampant during the whaling era..."

"A remnant of the whaling era, this shady coral-stone jail was built in 1852 and looks much as it did 150 years ago thanks to a 1988 restoration. One of the tiny reconstructed cells displays a list of arrests in..."
"Just 2 miles north of the heart of Lahaina and right on the road to Ka'anapali, this multi-section county park follows the shore and is great for walking and cycling. There are dozens of shady picnic tables,..."

"Brought by Japanese who immigrated to Hawaii, shave ice is a traditional delicacy for anyone looking for the real Aloha experience. That is exactly what Ululani’s Hawaiian Shave Ice offers to its regular guests and first-time visitors, with four locations in Maui; two in Lahaina, and others in Kahului and Kihei. Considered to be one of the finest shave ice places on the island and award-winning, Ululani’s uses 100% pure cane sugar and offers more than 30 local Hawaiian and global flavours."

"The last Friday of every month, the Grand Wailea hosts a Spalicious: Divas Night Out event at the Grand Wailea Spa, complete with manis, pedis and hors d’oeuvres. I was thoroughly tempted to go the evening we arrived because of the fortunate timing, but my budget and my “Hey honey, I’m ditching you with two kids to spend the afternoon at the spa” line afforded me only one spa visit during our stay. Although the Spalicious party sounded like an amazing event (hello bathing in chocolate pools!!), I wanted my experience to be one of quiet calm and relaxation."
