Maui County's Absolute Must-Sees

This selection spans Maui’s diverse geography, from the 10,023-foot volcanic summit of Haleakalā to the historic 19th-century whaling port of Lahaina. Highlights include the lush rainforests of the ʻĪao Valley, the tiered waterfalls of Ohe’o Gulch, and the Pipiwai Trail’s dense bamboo forests. Coastal sites feature the white sands of Ka'anapali Beach, the natural geyser at Nakalele Blowhole, and the Maui Ocean Center, which focuses on endemic Hawaiian marine species and coral reef conservation.
