Guided tours and travel packages are great for helping you cover a lot of territory in a short time, but sometimes it can be worthwhile to spend a few days exploring places and people that are a little further off the well-beaten path. Here are some of our tips for discovering Maui’s hidden gems and soaking up the local flavor.
- Explore local events like Haiku Hoolaulea, the Kapalua Festival of the Arts, and the International Festival of Canoes.
- See colorful Protea, orchids, and Birds of Paradise at the Kula Botanical Garden.
- Spend a day wine tasting at Tedeschi Winery and try the pineapple wine.
- Take a hike to the stunning 400-ft. Waimoku Falls past Hana.
- Dress warmly and watch the sunrise from the top of Haleakala Crater.
