KNOWN FOR... Local dare devils and best beach for lounging and people watching Driving the Hana Highway is a MUST! Maui Revealed has great maps/directions. The route takes you along the coast for dramatic views, waterfalls, swimming pools, and some of the most beautiful and secluded beaches on the island. Stop by the fruit stand in Hana to chop your own coconut with a machete!

NOTES

6 miles through the East Maui Irrigation owned land, moderate difficulty, nicely shaded ending in waterfalls and olympic sized pools to cool down. If you would like an organized group hike call waterfalls and natural swimming pools the local Sierra Club, Leader: Bob Babson at 874-1166 to . $5 donation. http://www.mauimapp.com/information/hiking.htm this has been my favorite hike on Maui, with some of the best views in Maui, 6 miles some of which can be steep. Be sure to start early in the AM because there is little shade and the sun is dramatic ocean vantage points and panoramic views unapologetically fierce. 4 miles, moderate difficulty. Most of this hike is shaded, which is accommodating to late starters. test your fear of heights and defy danger on shoddily constructed You'll forge Indiana Jones bridges, rock hop through streams and feel serene amongst the diverse swinging bridges that ends in a great pool for "cliff" jumping flora and guava trees Most Kayaking companies offer the same 3 or 5 hour excursions from Maui Eco Tours to Kelii's Kayaking tours, with competitive price ranging. I recommend kayaking on a tour rather than just Turtle Town renting one because the locals know where the best reefs and visibility conditions. Bring back the best and surprisingly most affordable part of authentic Maui and local businesses from handcrafted soaps, to hand carved mini tiki masks. This covered market is perfect for souvenirs, items for your home, etc. Forget the Four Seasons. $30 for a solid 1hr. no frills, yet professional and effective massage is not to be missed in this cowboy town. Call ahead to make a reservation 1043 Makawao Ave # 207 (808) 572-1888 Glide along the ocean surface in these traditionally designed Polynesian feats of maritime technology. This is great for the Tuesdays and Thursdays are free with a first time donation. You are always paired with family and encourages team work. experienced club . Start at Kamaole III and work your way south, past Kihei Landing, the Palms, along the beach front and onto the resort row path. This is a gorgeous way to awaken with the island along the shore and start no later than 7am to avoid the blaring sun. Cool off with Honolulu company coffee in the Wailea Mall on your return trip which can be accessed by cutting through the Marriott. Round trip is approx 4 miles. Run north along S. Kihei Road until you hit Kihei Cafe Need knick knacks, Hawaiian shirts, bathing suits, board shorts, and kitschy reminders of your vacation? Search no longer, Front St. is lined with everything you're looking for. This touristy but charming surf town along the water is also home to the Island Art http://www.mauiartscene.com/ galleries. http://www.mauiarts.org/ Craving your designer duds and don't mind a 5-10% mark up in retail pricing? Coach, Tiffanys, Gucci and more awaits you in this outdoor, upscale shopping center, which is a nice, air conditionned refuge during the hottest hours of the day when the sun is too intense around 2-4pm. Grab a coffee and chocolate chip cookie at the Honolulu Coffee Co. and take your time to stroll. Paia is a youthful, liberal, hippie town and a last stop shop before hitting the Hana Hwy. Easy snorkeling for beginners, turtle spotting and fish diversity be sure to catch a glimpse of the humunumnukunukuapuahah organized snorkel and dive tours including knowledgeable guides 2 for 1 special to Molakini is well worth the trip. Beware of sea sickness and take any medications and access to farther reefs BEFORE you arrive on the boat. Some of the other tours are pricey, but everything is negotiable. Be sure to grab a seat at the bar for some delicious cocktails at sunset for a spectacular view and a nightly performance of traditional hawaiian singing & dancing (best of all it's free!) Grab a blanket & some champagne and take in the famous sunsets

The 5 lines will get you Hooked on zip lining, and ready to tackle Costa Rica. While this is smaller than it's Kaanapali counterpart, the $80 pricepoint is a much easier incentive to try it for the first time http://www.zipline.com/adventure_courses.htm More lines, more money but more fun!

Maui dining 101: the rule of thumb is that the shadier and more po-dunk looking the restaurant is, the more amazing the food is. Maui dining is a no-frills, usually little to no ambiance (unless it's kitschy and bizarre) eating affair that is all about fresh fish and ingredients and hearty home cooking. Asian-hawaiian cuisine is huge and always start off with PuPus, or tapas appetizers. TONE NAME LOCATION TOWN WHAT TO GET Their sticky buns and cinnamin buns are out of this world! Everything from the breakfast burrito to Loco Moco is amazing with ginormous portions, perfect for Casual Dining Kihei Cafe 1945 S Kihei Rd Kihei splitting. Take a seat outdoors and people watch while you wait for Kihei's best breakfast/brunch spot from Mama Bunny Their lunch menu is a great value for fresh and innovative hawaiian inspired 2439 S Kihei Rd # cuisine. One of the few places in Kihei with a somewhat sophisticated ambiance, Casual Dining Cafe O Lei Kihei 201A the natural lighting, spralling windows and cool woodwork makes for a nice break from the taco shacks The only fresh fish supplier on the southside also boasts this small restaurant. I recommend the crab cakes and coconut shrimp. This is a local's favorite, and Casual Dining Eskimo Candy 2665 Wai Wai Pl Kihei while the Pupus are worth the deep fried goodness, the entrees are less noteworthy. GET THESE FISH TACOS. I'm on a life-long search for the perfect fish taco, and TC's rank highly on my list. Get the fish tacos grilled. Every ingredient is fresh 2395 S Kihei Rd, Casual Dining Taqueria Cruz Kihei and the flavor is slightly sweet with corn tortillas made at the only tortilla factory suite 112 right next door. Pair your taco wiht a variety of 40 hot sauces from around the world on the condiment table. While everyone on the island is aware of Sansei's deal, Koiso is THE best place for true sushi lovers. This 10 seater offers an intimate evening with the 2395 S Kihei Rd # chef/owner, who had crafts each made to order piece off of a limited menu of the Casual Dining Koiso Kihei 113, Dolphin Plaza freshest fish. This is a no frills, all about the subtlety of texture and flavor, probably the best sushi I've had outside of Japan. Need reservations (808) 8758258 Sansei's early bird deal from 5-6pm on Sun/Mon and half priced sushi from 10pm-12am Thurs-Sat. is famous. This is a wonderful deal for those who are 1881 S Kihei Rd # Casual Dining Sansei Kihei looking for a lot of bang out of their buck and the sushi is pretty fresh. Most Kt116 menu items are hawaiin fusion. I recommend the seared ahi panko roll appetizer and Rock shrimp. For a special occassion night with one of the most gorgeous settings to watch the 3900 Wailea sun go down, Spago's at the Four Seasons is a tasteful fine dining locale where Fine Dining Spago's Wailea Alanui Drive you pay a pretty penny for the atmosphere. Some items are better than others, but all in all don't expect a knock your socks off quality of food for $50/entree. Paia is a cross-road hub for tourists and locals alike traveling up to Haleakala, and Fish Market is a perfect example of it's bustling comings and goings. While Casual Dining Paia Fish Market 2 Baldwin Ave # A Paia their fish is just so so, they have a fun and casual picnic bench style atmosphere great for people watching. Get your entree with their cole-slaw that I'm obsessed with (no mayo, but lots of dill!) After spending a day soaking up the sun at Big Beach and watching some crazy across from Big Casual Dining Jaws Kihei boogie board moves, you're starving. Mosey across the street from the parking Beach lot to Jawz, which has burritos and fish tacos to quell your hunger pangs. Though he was closed in the middle of his shift for no reason, and I was unable to try these infamous $8 fish tacos with fresh mango sauce, my brother claims Taco Guy near across the street Casual Dining Kihei they are the best fish tacos he's had on the island. My brother is cheap and for Ahihi from Ahihi Cove him to warrant $8 on a taco means that he's convinced, yet, I cannot give it my personal seal of approval until I try them for myself next year.

Nice flavors and fresh fish. While it's definitely worth the 2 for 1 early bird entree special, I would not pay full price ($30/entree) for the lack of ambiance and somewhat apathetic service. This is the local's favorite, authentic homestyle hawaiian grub. From Loco mocos, to other kins of bbq and teriyaki chicken, I've only heard raves about the flavorful comfort food and huge portions for $8 Best natural food market in Paia, and Maui Reasonably priced natural food market in Kihei This kozy shack with loads of kona coffee to bring home used to be bad ass, but nevertheless, grabbing a cup of joe and sitting outside is just as relaxing. 2 for 1 coffees from 6-9am. Located in the Wailea Shopping center, Honolulu Coffee is a bit yuppie and overpriced, but I love their soy lattes and chocolate chip cookies, which are perfect after a long run Anthony's reminds me of a homemade ice cream shop in the Hamptons or Cape Cod, with friendly service by the owners, and kitschy beach decor. The Kona Coffee ice cream and macadamia ice cream are favorites and scones are the size of my head. A fine dining favorite on the island, Mama's boasts some of the most gorgeous views of Maui. Be sure to go BEFORE it's dark for a photo op. While most people I went with did not feel that $50 was warranted for the quality of the food, I enjoyed the Macadamia encrusted fish and lobster guacamole. You're paying for a nice dining ambiance Decent mid-range hawaiian fusion dining is part of a chain found throughout Hawaii Traditional Vietnamese with and inexpensive

Holy Moly! A baker's delight. You must get the Manju and Hawaiian sweet bread here. I love their peanut butter Manjui but the red bean or taro is good too. They also have Spanish baked delights Although I haven't tried this sushi restaurant, our snorkeling diving spider monkey tour guide highly recommended it Casual and laid back, Gaby's has yummy pizza and buttery garlic bread. It's a great place to play pool, grab a pie if you're fished-out, and go out in Lahaina. Other restaurants at 505 Front Street are more upscale with views of the ocean. Fresh ahi, fluffy pita spiced just right, pita grill offers healthy lunching for cheap Authentic flatbread pizza is great for the family or before going to Charly's
