Driving along the Hana Highway is a full day scenic experience, so be prepared for winding roads, waterfalls, and epic ocean views. We recommend packing snacks, water, towels, swimsuits, waterproof shoes, and dry clothes. If you don’t pay a guided tour and go yourself download the Shaka Maui app beforehand. Choose your route before you go and download it ALL before you leave, as there is no service in Hana. It is about an hour and a half drive from West Maui to get to the start of the highway and usually takes 8 hours to fully experience this adventure!

There are many companies that offer snorkeling tours on Maui or to the neighboring island, Molokai. You’ll be sure to catch a sight of a sea turtle (Honu) if you don’t see one lounging on the beach first!

Our wedding will be in the middle of whale season, so a guided tour to spot whales is definitely a top 10 bucket list item! There are a variety of options including small boats and full sized catamarans with snacks and drinks, depending on your preference.

Great breakfast and lunch spot open until 2pm!

It's a gorgeous drive to Kula and this bistro has the best desserts and great food!

Great views and open for breakfast, lunch and dinner!

Dinner and a show! Note that the program is long

A little more expensive for dinner if you want a fancy night out. But they also have great brunch!

Ulu is also on the more expensive side but well worth it!
