There is so much to do in Maui, a week simply isn’t enough; stay for as long as you can! There is a wealth of outdoor activities. One of the highlights is Maui Eco-Adventures’ ’Rainforest/Waterfall Hike’. A five mile journey through a wonderfully lush tropical rainforest, and over 2 suspension bridges (I was feeling very Romancing the Stone), the hike climaxes with a swim in a refreshing fresh water pool, underneath a cascading waterfall. They even serve you lunch- I was living for the passion fruit/Thai Chile sauce. Our guide, Bryce, was friendly and knowledgeable, pointing out plants along the way such as KuKui (Candlenut) Hau flower and Kona Coffee. Not to be missed!
Take a drive down to the end of Makena Alanui Road in South Maui, and check out the ’Lava Fields’ at La Perouse Bay. A stunning expanse of brick red lava rock, the setting calls to mind a scorched alien landscape. Walk along the craggy grounds and you will find an active blowhole, spewing ocean water into the air with explosive energy; spinner dolphins are often sighted just offshore.
