    It's impossible to go anywhere on Maui without stumbling upon another pristine beach, and whether you want to get the adrenaline flowing with surfing, or just relax in a quiet, hidden spot, there's something for everyone around Maui's coastline. Check out the three-mile long Kaanapali Beach in West Maui or Makena Beach on the south side of the island for some of the best experiences.

Places to visit

  • Iao Valley

    A great destination once you've picked up your Kahului Airport car rental, Iao Valley is a short 20-minute drive west of the airport and is a popular place for hiking. Covered in dense rainforest, it's a great place to escape the modern world and follow in the footsteps of native Hawaiians, who would take pilgrimages here. In the center of the valley lies the Iao Needle, which stretches 1,200 feet above the surrounding landscape.

    Haleakalā National Park

    To the south-east of the island, about an hour's drive from Kahului, the Haleakalā National Park is centered around a dormant volcano and offers spectacular views across the island, as well as a diverse range of landscapes, from Mars-like red deserts to lush rainforests and waterfalls. Get up early and head to the summit to witness one of the most breathtaking sunrises on Earth - but don't forget to make a reservation for your Kahului car rental in order to park at the top.

    Hāna Highway

    There are few better ways to explore the island of Maui than a drive along the scenic Hāna Highway. A 64-mile coast road that connects Kahului to the town of Hāna, an uninterrupted trip will take about two hours - but you'll no doubt want to stop many times along the way to take in the sights. Some of the must-see stops include Twin Falls, which is a short hike from the road, and Ho'okipa lookout, where you can watch the pro surfers tackle the waves below.
