Laura’s Maui Guidebook
Favorite spots to hang out
Get away from the busy touristy beaches! This is a great beach to spot turtles in the morning. The rock wall creates a calm swimming area that's great for kids.

Sightseeing
We highly recommend getting out on the water during your visit! Early morning snorkel cruises are the best for calm waters.
For a fun night out, book the Island Rhythms Sunset Cruise! One of our favorite things to do, especially during whale season. Marty Dread does not disappoint!

A trip to Maui isn't complete without a day at Big Beach! We recommend going early before the wind kicks up. But beware, shore break is notorious for being extremely large and dangerous during certain times of the year.

AKA Red Sand Beach in Hana. We get a lot of questions about the road to Hana. If you decide to do this, we recommend dedicating a whole day to the drive and for exploring. This is our favorite spot to visit in Hana. Bring your beach stuff and lunch!
Tip: Although the rental car companies might tell you otherwise, you can drive all the way around and do not need to turn around in Hana to get back to Kihei. The backside road from Hana is beautiful with amazing views. It's also a lot less windy and much less travelled! There are a few gravel spots to drive over but nothing that is dangerous or that a regular car can't travel over.

We get a lot of questions about the Road to Hana. If you decide to do it, plan to dedicate an entire day to it. There is basically nothing in Hana, this is about the drive and scenery. Pick a few spots that you want to stop at before you go. The road is narrow, windy with lots of switch backs and single lane bridges. If you get car sick easily, skip this adventure!

This is a great hike with amazing views of the Valley Isle if you get up there on a clear day. Go early to beat the heat and the crowds.
Tip: Drive all the way up the road to the top parking lot. You don't want to park in the lower lot and take the long walk up!!
