Old Hawaiian Kingdom, whaling, missionary, and plantation artifacts. Next to the Banyan Tree (not to be missed) in Lahaina. On the opposite side of the island from Makawao, but if you do Trilogy sailing or the Atlantis Submarine, it's right in front of the harbor. Small but very interesting. Free. http://lahainarestoration.org/lahaina-heritage-museum/

Good place to go for a history of the Chinese on Maui. Also an old film by Thomas Edison about Maui. Another interesting site honoring Chinese history on Maui is the Dr. Sun Yat Sen park in Keokea (stop by on the way to Grandma's).

Food Scene
Super casual, come as you are. Local hangout for the pau hana (after work) crowd with good Happy Hour drink and food deals (4-5:30). All dishes can be made with a veggie-protein option too. We recommend the sizzling fajitas for 2 - lots of food at a good price. Small but lively bar scene in the restaurant.

Not just a National Park, but also sacred site of the ancient Ali'i (half-god ruling class). Famous for sunrise viewing if you're an early bird. Home to many endangered endemic bird and botanical species. See all islands from the 10,000 ft summit (on a clear day of course). Dress in warm layers, it is very cold at the summit in the morning and in winter. Great hikes at Sliding Sands in the crater but not for beginners due to the altitude. Fun to drive up the volcano and bike down right to the house. Best island views whether you drive up or bike down. Note: our volcano is dormant, no worries! Park has an entrance fee and you must make a parking reservation for sunrise visits.

Olowalu reef is the 'Mother Reef' that supplies 3 islands with coral spores to populate the reef population. This is the largest reef on Maui. You can swim, kayak, or SUP over the reef and see tropical fish, a sea turtle cleaning station, and a shark nursery (not the biting kind). Park at the lot near mile marker 14. Paddle out far from shore for the best viewing - this reef is located on a wind and wave-protected area, but there are no lifeguard stations so only swim out to the outer reef if you're a decent swimmer.

It's the journey, not the destination on the Road to Hana. MUST download the Gypsy Guide App for the Hana Tour: http://gypsyguide.com/package/the-road-to-hana/ $4.99 but very worth it, it will enhance the trip and let you know where the hidden gems are. Stop and smell the roses - play in the waterfalls along the way or just enjoy the beauty of the rainforest. Plan to spend the whole day on this activity.

Not really an aquarium but you'll feel like you're (dry) diving in the world's largest one! Go down 100 ft in this real submarine and see coral reefs, fish, a sunken ship, and maybe a few rays and/or sharks. Super modern, clean, spacious sub - won't cause claustrophobia or sea sickness. Our favorite Maui activity, not cheap but well worth the price. Call Atlantis directly the day before for their best price on available seats.
