Full-Day On The Road To Hana

You can’t visit Maui and miss out on experiencing the unforgettable Road to Hana! Although there are many different ways of enjoying the Road to Hana, we suggest our itinerary for the best honeymoon day trip to Hana ever. To avoid late-morning-to-afternoon tourist traffic on the Hana Highway, try to reach the historic town of Paia on the North Shore by 7 am.

Here you can pick up a coffee and a light breakfast to fuel your morning at the famous Anthony’s Coffee Shop. Approximately 20-25 minutes east of Paia, you’ll make your second stop at Twin Falls (mile marker 2) for a fresh coconut, some locally baked goods, and a leisurely walk/light hike and swim in the waterfalls. Once you get back on the road, keep driving eastward towards Hana Town, and try to resist getting sucked into stopping at every bridge and view—if you do, you won’t have enough time to explore as much once you reach the Hana area. Next, make a stop at the Garden of Eden Arboretum (Mile Marker 10). It is a great place to take photos and check out native Hawaiian flora and fauna. Here you’ll find a 100-year-old Mango tree, tons of bamboo, ocean and Puohokamoa waterfall views, and a super cute gift shop with local art and jewelry.

Make your next stop at the Nahiku Marketplace (Mile Marker 29) for a snack or a delicious Maui taco, and another chance to pick up some local gift items. Make your next picture-perfect stop at the incredible Wai’anapanapa State Park (Mile Marker 32), where you’ll have a chance to explore Hawaiian history, a black sand beach, and an ancient birthing pool. Hana Town (Mile Marker 34) is a quiet, traditional Hawaiian village with many sights to see that are all tucked away. There you can explore farmer’s markets, galleries, an excellent Thai restaurant, and Hana Bay. We suggest that you either spend some time at Hamoa Beach (Mile Marker 50) or continue to the 7 Sacred Pools at the Haleakala National Park in Kipahulu (Mile Marker 42). After Kipahulu, stay on the road towards Palapala Ho’omau Church (Mile Marker 41) and explore Old Hawaii with gorgeous views, quiet vibes, and Charles Lindbergh’s grave.

O’O Farms is an 8-acre biodynamic organic farm in Upcountry Maui. Started by two surfing buddies in 2000, this farm has really become a wonderful gift for the Island of Maui.

Maui Sunset Luau Cruise

Surprise your loved one with a special evening, cruising at a comfortable speed on the Pride of Maui Sunset Luau Dinner Cruise. Not only is this a fabulous way to explore the Island of Maui, but it’s also the best way to take advantage of more than one Maui activity at a time. Guests can maximize their vacation time and enjoy a sunset cruise with live Polynesian entertainment, a delicious luau feast, an open bar, and more.

On a Maui Sunset Luau Cruise, guests journey over calm Hawaiian waters with incredible panoramic views of Maui’s coastline, mountains, and the outer islands of Lanai and Molokai. Aboard the Pride of Maui catamaran, guests quickly realize that it’s also the optimal place to enjoy a magical Maui sunset bursting over the horizon. In fact, if you book the Maui Sunset Luau Cruise during the Winter months (roughly December-March), it’s also the best place in the world to view the North Pacific humpback whales during their annual winter migration to Maui’s waters.

The Maui Sunset Luau Dinner Cruise is definitely one of the most exceptional honeymoon activities in Hawaii. On the deck of Pride of Maui, couples create an intimately shared, lifelong memory. With a sunset backdrop like a watercolor painting, and a tropical cocktail in hand, guests become one with the beauty of the islands. The sounds of rolling waves stimulate the senses along with the scent of fresh ocean air, and the warm feeling of your loved one’s sweet embrace.

Spend a Day on the North Shore of Maui

The North Shore is one of the most breathtakingly gorgeous areas of Maui, and one of the most beautiful communities in all of the Hawaiian Islands. Spend a dreamy day on the North Shore of Maui, immerse yourselves in the community, and make picture-perfect memories that you and your loved one will always treasure. We suggest that you start in the bohemian Paia Town and hit up Mana Foods for coconut water, a Maui kombucha, the salad bar, and snacks for the beach.

After perusing the organic-lined shelves of Mana, make your way to Baldwin Beach Park. Once you find parking, head over to the far right of the lifeguard stand where you’ll find the most beautiful swimming cove. Here, you can relax and spend some time swimming in the gentle waves and soaking up the warm Maui sunshine with the North Shore community. Post-beach-time, you can head back to Paia Town to check out the funky and inspiring collection of gift shops, surf shops, galleries and eateries. Then you can beach-hop and venture east towards Ho’okipa Beach Park to watch or partake in sunbathing, swimming, surfing, windsurfing, kite boarding and stand up paddling. For an extra romantic Maui sunset, make a stop for a cocktail and pupus at Mama’s Fish House in Kuau, one of the most famous restaurants in all of the Hawaiian Islands.
