Maui’s beach parks feature plenty of beautiful waterfalls, some easier to get to than others. Twin Falls is one of the easiest ones to access, only a short hike away from the road. It’s one of the first stops on the Road to Hana, the island’s most famous scenic drive. The name “Twin Falls” is […]

There are plenty of places to see a gorgeous Maui sunrise on the island, but perhaps none is better than the summit of Haleakala. “House of the Sun ” in Hawaiian, Haleakala is a massive shield volcano that actually covers about 75% of the island.

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 […]
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.
