This time, an apartment booked through booking.com was chosen because Airbnb options were more expensive.
Activities
Road to Hana
More than 600 curves lead along the famous Road to Hana through a lush tropical landscape. Along the way, it is worth stopping at waterfalls, scenic points, or Hoʻokipa Beach Park. Because the road is narrow in many places, it helps to pull over briefly whenever locals are driving faster from behind.
Hoʻokipa Beach Park
Hoʻokipa Beach Park is especially worth visiting in the evening, when sea turtles come ashore in large numbers to sleep.
Sunrise at Haleakala Volcano
This highlight had to be skipped because a reservation is required. It is best booked well in advance, as slots are often sold out weeks ahead.
Wailea Beach Walk
The Wailea Beach Walk is a beautiful promenade right along the sea.
Lahaina
The small fishing town of Lahaina is definitely worth a visit. Besides the charming Front Street, it is also home to a huge banyan tree planted back in 1873.
