    Really quite incredible. While I expected to enjoy the red sand beach at Kaihalulu more (which is also awesome) - We really loved the black sands at Honokalani / Wai'anapanapa State Park.

    Take the stairs down to the gorgeous black sand beach. There's a sea cave just to the right of the stairs. Don't miss this. You can see the waves coming in on the far side. Very cool.

    We visited on a big surf day which amplified the magical notes of the black rocks moving with the surf - never experienced anything like this. The trail on the far left of the beach leads up and over the lava field to some really interesting formations and water wedges and tunnels that were quite dramatic and impressive on the heavy ocean day.

    Wear water / reef shoes for the hike and the pebbles on the beach - the black sand is quite soft. Fun to watch all the activity here as well - fishermen on the rocks and instagram models on the shore.

    The state park / outdoor shower was great before jumping back in the car.

    Parking and entry reservations are available 30-days in advance. The entrance can be easily missed - Slow down when you reach Mile Marker #32 along the famous Road to Hana.

    Make your timed reservation early - both the beach and the parking lot are smallish with limited space. Great visit!

    This one is harder to get to, but worth the experience. I have tried to visit all colored sand beaches in the world and this one is great. You park in a weird area on the street like by a school and start walking. You have to maneuver down a pathway that can get steep at times, but is doable. Once you get on the beach, the entry to the ocean is steep and deepens quickly. The sand is rough on your feet, but very soft so you sink in like quick sand. Be careful about standing in the waves. Views are amazing and the water is beautiful. It did not seem to be too crowded when we were there and that was nice too.

    A must see if in Maui or Hawaii. The Black Sand is stunning and not coarse, its very soft. The color of the blue water and green landscape is gorgeous. We also got engaged here.

    Our ONO Farms tour was amazing! Nick, our tour guide, was excellent. We got to try almost 20 different exotic fruits and took home a huge box of fruit after the tour. It was definitely one of the highlights of our trip to Hawaii!

    We drove by last year & didn't stop but thought we’d try on our road-trip back through this year. It was overcast that day & not too hot, by the time we stopped in early afternoon. Despite all the recent torrential rains & flooding Maui had, there was some muddy areas and 1 of the paths was closed.

    Otherwise, everywhere was walkable and pretty to see the different flowers, plants and trees. We saw the ducks and the peacocks, didn’t feed either ones. It was a nice walk on a pleasant day with my husband.

    We were there just under 2 hours & scenery such as ocean & waterfalls below was pretty. We didn’t purchase any gifts/food. The bathrooms were basic and there were a couple areas with picnic tables.

    This magnificent 80-foot waterfall is your last stop on the road to Hana before you enter the National Park. We got there around 4p and it was pretty empty (around 6 other people). We took a swim in the pond below the waterfalls and it was very refreshing. The pond is too shallow to jump from the waterfall (only about 4-5 feet). A guy jumped and then told us not do any jumping as it was too shallow so be forewarned. Such beautiful falls, you can see the falls from the road but take the short hike to go right underneath to get the full experience.

    This is a big garden, which features many plants introduced by early Polynesians and some endemic Hawaiian plants. It's worth a visit if in the area but likely not worth a visit as a destination. The admission fee includes a nice guidebook, and many of the plants have informative signs

    I have been waiting for 8 years for the perfect island artwork for my bedroom. As soon as I saw Laura Mango's website I was hooked! It's perfect! It's beautiful, it's timeless, it's elegant and evokes the wonderful memories of Maui. I had the honor and privilege of visiting her studio and selecting a few incredible pieces and to also meet Laura who is as incredible as her art! Thank you. Laura for your beautiful, inspirational and perfect art! I will cherish it for years to come! Definitely worth the trip, she has many sizes available and a great selection.

    We stopped here after a long journey on Hana Road. They have picnic tables to eat, a small beach, people surfing, and an area to swim and boat.

    Worth the short hike uphill. Hotel across the street will 4 wheel you up for a fee. Free parking. Beautiful view of Hana and surrounding area. A simply incredible prayer walk up and down the paved path. The Spirit of our Lord is there. One of the highlights of my trip.

    We stopped off here on our way back to Lahaina from Hana - it was spontaneous and we weren’t sure what to expect but it was fantastic! We were doubtful that this lava tube would be any more impressive than the one on Big Island at the Volcanoes National Park. But we ended up liking this one better. It’s a 1/4 mile walk through the tubes with signposts along the way telling you interesting facts about the history and formation of the tubes. The owners give you torches to see with as it’s pitch black inside which is fun and thrilling. Just be careful as the ground can be uneven and slippery and you’ll need to watch where you’re going. Was worth the entry fee for us.
