On this tour of Maui, we'll explore the island from east to west, visiting iconic places like the Haleakala National Park, the historic Iao Valley, and the towns of Kula and Makawao.
Maui Island Tour
At the designated time, we'll pick you up at your hotel to begin this tour around the island of Maui, the second largest island of the Hawaiian archipelago.
Our first stop will be at Haleakala National Park, located in the south of the island, where we can find the famous dormant volcano of the same name, a sacred place for the peoples of Polynesia.
Haleakala is home to about 1,000 different species of plants, some of which can only be found on this Pacific island. One of the most famous is the silversword plant. We'll take a scenic drive through the beautiful natural landscapes of this reserve until we reach the Haleakala Visitor Center - you'll be amazed by its location!
After the visit to the center, where we'll learn about the climatic and topographical characteristics of the park, we'll head to the center of Maui, passing through agricultural towns such as Kula and Makawao. The latter, located at the base of the West Maui volcano, was once a mighty city.
Then, we'll stop at the Hali’imaile General Store to enjoy a carefully selected lunch of local flavors, followed by a guided tour of the Hali’imaile distillery. At this distillery, people under 21 years old will have to wait outside.
Our next destination will be the Iao Valley, west of Maui, formed by lush rainforest. This is a historic site where Hawaiian royalty was buried and was even the site of a battle. We'll see the emblematic Iao Needle, an imposing peak blanketed in dense vegetation.
We'll conclude the tour by taking you back to your hotel, where we'll arrive 9 hours and 15 minutes after pickup.
