Things to do in Waiakoa

A wide expanse of soft, pearly white sand is the jewel in the crown of Wailea Beach. This palm-fringed paradise is the stuff of dreams and keeps this fashionable resort firmly at the luxurious end of the travel market. The community offers all the amenities you could wish for to enjoy an idyllic, relaxing holiday on one of the most beautiful stretches of coast in Maui.

At Haleakalā National Park, you can step inside volcanic craters, walk through rain forest and swim in freshwater pools.

Keawakapu Beach in southwest Maui is a welcome break from the hustle and bustle of some of the more crowded beaches nearby. Also as it’s wider than its sandy sisters, locating the perfect spot to sit back and soak up the sun won't be an issue. Impressive beach houses, restaurants, apartments and hotels line the beachfront while palm trees are dotted along the shore, providing shade for those who like to venture out in the early morning to do some yoga on the cushiony sands.

The massive shield volcano of Haleakalā, otherwise known as the East Maui Volcano, takes up a huge proportion of the island of Maui. It sits within the Haleakalā National Park and is home to the iconic Haleakalā or "House of the Sun" Crater. Visitors from far and wide come to watch the sunrise from this magnificent vantage point and to get away from the hustle and bustle of the island's beaches.

The calm, temperate waters and sheltered location of Maluaka Beach make ideal conditions for attracting Hawaii’s famous green turtles. Part of Maui’s popular “Turtle Town” which runs from Nahuna Point to Black Sand Beach, Maluaka’s discreet entrance is easy to miss, making it less crowded and more laid-back than some of its better-known neighbours.
