Top 10 List of Things to Do in Maui

There is so much to do on Maui. Here my Top 10 Things to Do:

1. Watch the sunrise or sunset at the Haleakala National Park
2. Drive the Hana Highway
3. Enjoy the views along the Kahekili Highway (which is not exactly a highway but at least as spectacular the road to Hana)
   
4. Enjoy Maui's best black sand beach Pa'iloa Beach
5. Make a stop in Paia and pick up some picnic goodies in Mana Foods or have lunch in one of the cafes
6. Spend some days in Lahaina
7. Enjoy a Lomi Lomi message in the Ala Moana Spa of the Hyatt Regency
   
8. Have dinner at the waterfront restaurant I'O in Lahaina
9. Watch surfers at Ho'okipa Beach
10. Go swimming the cave pools of the Wai'anapanapa State Park

Go Camping Maui!

The Wai'anapanapa State Park is a great place for camping almost at the end of the road to Hana, Maui. It offers a shady lawn near the beach, cold showers and toilets (that are kept clean by the staff).

The best thing about it is that there is so much to do: you can swim in a cave, sun on a black-sand beach or walk the coastal trail with blow holes and old lava fields.

Don't forget to make a reservation in advance and have your permit with you as rangers are quite strict and ask you to leave if you do not have a permit. Also, take some food with you as there are not too many shopping opportunities in that area!
