Maui OceanCenter

(808) 270-7000

Maui OceanCenter provides an up close and personal look at Hawaii’s diverse marine life without having to put your diving gear on! Perfect for a romantic honeymoon, family outing, or solo excursion, the best thing about the OceanCenter besides its interactive eel exhibit and shark tanks, is by far the jellyfish room. This mesmerizing exhibit features comfy seats in a totally dark room, lit only by the glowing cylinder tanks that house these mysterious creatures. Pair this with the soft music being played, and you’re in for a truly compelling experience.

Haleakala National Park
(808) 572-4400

HaleakalaNational Park stretches from the rocky Kipahulu coastline up through rainforest and shrubland to the summit of the volcano. Much of the upper slopes, including the rainforest, are designated wilderness and protected by law. You have the option of hiking to the volcano or driving up, but keep your windows down because the area is enveloped with the healing scent of eucalyptus. Whichever way you plan to go, know that the view from the top is one you cannot afford to miss. If you can bear to get up before sunrise, prepare to experience a top-of-the-world breathtaking view above the clouds and be forever transformed. Remember to bring your camera.

‘IaoState Park
End of the ‘Iao Valley Rd.
Highway 32, Wailuku, Hawaii, 96793

Hana

Hana is an isolated piece of heaven located on the eastern coast of Maui. It is almost entirely undeveloped, leaving it a pristine, sacred place of ecological refuge and a natural paradise. Hana itself is amazing, but the road trip out is equally impressive.
