Top 5 places to visit in Maui
Road to Hana
It's about the journey, not the destination! The Hana Highway is a 64.4-mile-long stretch connecting Kahului to Hana in east Maui with around 59 bridges and more than 600 curves. This epic journey will take you and your beau through the picturesque and iconic narrow highway that highlights the best of Hawaii's natural beauty: stunning landscapes, beautiful black sand beaches, a quiet coastline, and towering waterfalls.
Haleakala National Park
Home to the world’s largest dormant volcano, Haleakala offers breathtaking views from its summit. Many travellers hike, bike, or camp here to catch sunsets (and sunrises) of a lifetime. You and your partner will also get a chance to check out lunar landscapes, admire cinder cones, and trek wild hiking trails as you take on the journey to the Haleakala crater.
Get a chance to immerse yourself in the vibrant arts scene, great restaurants, and charming shops in Lahaina. It is also a great destination to witness majestic humpback whales that frequent the waters surrounding Maui in the winter months. The best time for whale watching is from December through April.
Paia
A small town in the heart of Maui's north shore, Paia is populated with surfers and travellers who enjoy laidback, bohemian vibes. So, get ready to have a laidback travel experience at this town with your partner. Relax while watching turquoise blue waters and checking out surf shops, healthy restaurants, music venues, and other low-key attractions.
Molokini Crater
When was the last time you had a snorkel adventure inside a sunken volcano with your person? Well, for this reason alone, don't forget to check out the Molokini Crater in Hawaii. It is a crescent-shaped, partially submerged volcanic caldera where you can snorkel and dive in incredible clear waters with diverse marine life.
