Best of Maui
Food scene
On the way over in Olowalu, a good place to eat is Leoda's. I would say don't buy
anything from the fruit stand next to it. It is a total tourist trap. Expensive and not local
produces. I will tell you where to go for local produce.

Most popular shave ice to both tourist and locals. There are a few around the island so you don't have to eat in this one.
I recommend getting the Macademian nut ice cream to go with it on the bottom of the ice cream. It melts the whole experience together. You won't regret it!
My favorite syrup flavor combination is Calamansi (a lime ish flavor) with Green Tea. I know... this isn't a usual combination but hear me out! If you are someone who does not like the artificial too sweet taste of fruit syrup (eg of the fake cherry on the top of the cake), which in my opinion, most of the other syrup taste like, this combination will give the right amount of refreshing feel, but still sweet and hearty enough if you get that macademia nut ice cream.

Maui Bread Company in
the same plaza as Fish n Chip. Definitely the best bakery on the island with super reasonable prices. So
eat a meal and go for dessert.

Expensive but worth it Japanese meal at Wailea.
Either way, stop by Morimoto to grab a sunset, coffee and donut. It is the best donut anywhere I have
ever eaten. And I don't even like donuts.

If you like poke you won't regret the poke here. Come between 10-3pm cause it sometimes get sold out by 6pm dinner time.
Anything ahi is good.
I personally like tornado and spicy tuna.

City/town information
Walk through historical Lahaina. It was the capital of Hawaii for a long time. Many small
shops and eateries. Don’t miss out the famous Ululani's Shave Ice on the northern end
of front street, a must eat dessert.

Kaanapoli is a touristy busy area. However, there is a few miles of walk that connects all
the resorts together. It is a nice walk especially after a meal. If you are in this area, there
is another Ululani's Shave Ice location here in the Hyatt Resort on the south end of the
walk.

Sightseeing
there is a parking lot across the road and there is a hiking trail
there. A good place to hike. On sunny days, you should be able to see waterfall at
distance during the hike.

- one of the best volcanic beach in Hawaii. Wear close toe shows
because the rocks are sharp. Walk in as long as you can handle it. It really is an amazing
place of uncommon beauty. If you go far enough, you will see white coral beaches. You
might also run into some wild black goats.

If you do the Haleakala sunrise (this is where you use the National Park pass again, or remember to do pipiwai trail within 3 days of this one), I recommend do a 3AM wake up. Drive up to the summit and watch stars, then the
sunrise. One the way down you can eat in Maui Lavender Cafe. They open at 7AM (not
the same as Alii Lavender Farm). Remember, you need to get online to get a reservation.
If you can't get a sunrise reservation, do not fret. sunset is exactly the same but the sun goes in the opposite direction. In this case I'd recommend getting there 1 hour before sunset to walk around a bit and stay a bit after sunset to see the stars if it is a clear day.
Also you do not need to go to the summit to see the sunrise/sunset. The summit scene has more buildings/structures that is obstructing your amazing sun view.
