Baldwin Beach Park in Maui is one of the most popular spots for surfing, bodyboarding, and swimming. You can swim in the ocean straight from the beach or you can head to the two protected swimming locations on either end – Baldwin Cove to the east and Baby Beach to the west. It’s worth noting, […]
It’s impossible to pick just one of Maui’s beach parks – there are just too many contenders. Your favorite beach will depend on your preferences and exactly what you’re looking for. Here are just a few of our favorites: As the name suggests, Big Beach is one of the largest beaches on the island. It’s […]
Although it might seem like an unnecessary expense, renting a car is the cheapest way to get around Maui’s beach parks unless you want to be stuck in one small corner of the island. Unfortunately, Maui has very little by way of public transportation, and the island is too large for you to get around […]
There are gorgeous Maui beach parks on every part of the island, but West Maui is generally the most popular area. West Maui has more resorts, hotels, bars, and other touristy attractions that draw visitors to it. It’s also the most developed part of the island, so there are plenty of restaurants and places to […]
Seeing Maui’s beach parks can be expensive, although you don’t necessarily have to break the bank. On average, you can expect to pay about $200 to $250 a day during your trip. That means a one-week vacation to the Valley Isle will cost around $3000 or $3500 for a couple – definitely not something to […]
You can certainly drive up to the summit of Haleakala and watch a Maui sunrise on your own, although we’d recommend taking the family with you. The view of the sun coming up from the top of the volcano is one of the most beautiful sights on the island and something that nobody will want […]
The summit of Haleakala is the most popular place to watch a Maui sunrise, which means it’s often fairly crowded. In order to prevent the parking lot from getting too overcrowded, the Parks Service offers reservations to see the sunrise on a specific date. The reservations only cost $1.50 since the system is really just […]
You can certainly get around Maui’s beach parks without a rental car, but we wouldn’t recommend it. There’s not much of a public transportation network on the island, and it can get expensive to pay for cabs all the time. Renting a car will also allow you to take some of Maui’s gorgeous scenic drives […]
There are a ton of places where you can watch a gorgeous Maui sunrise during your time on the island, but there’s one spot that stands above the rest – quite literally. About 75% of the island of Maui is covered by Haleakala, an enormous shield volcano that last erupted about 500 years ago. The […]
If you want to catch the best Maui sunrise on the island, we’d recommend heading to the summit of Haleakala about half an hour before sunrise begins. Of course, that time will vary based on when you’re visiting, but sunrise on Maui will always be between 5 am and 7 am. Make sure to check […]
