Of course, all the islands of Hawaii are gorgeous and well worth visiting, but there are a few that stand out. Which island draws your eye the most will depend on what exactly you’re looking for during your trip. If you’re hoping to see Hawaii the way it looks in the movies, then we recommend […]
If you look at a map of the Hawaiian Islands, you’ll see eight major islands and over 100 tiny ones. Of those eight, there are four that are usually referred to as the “main islands:” Hawai’i (aka the Big Island), Maui, O’ahu, and Kaua’i. If you’re visiting Hawaii as a tourist, there’s a good chance […]
There are a few things that make Haleakala the best place to watch the sunrise in Maui. The first is complete visibility. The Haleakala volcano covers about 75% of the island of Maui, so the highest point of the volcano is also the highest point of the island. From the summit, there’s nothing whatsoever blocking […]
Baldwin Beach Park encompasses the beach itself and a few facilities closer to the road. While it’s called a park, the real draw here is the beach, which is one of the most beautiful in Maui. Baldwin Beach is most well-known for surfing and boogie boarding in the winter when the waves get rougher, but […]
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, […]

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 […]
