18. More Maui

Ah, but there’s more! Maui’s northwest coast was once the officially preferred retreat of Hawaii’s original royal family. Today, Lahaina, in west Maui, is best known for its numerous incredible resorts, stunning sunsets, and memorable views of Molokai and Lanai in the distance.

 

19. The Sunrise At Haleakala

10,000 feet above sea level, Maui’s Haleakala National Park a.k.a. the House of the Sun plays host to nearly 1.5 million people every year. Hawaiian legend has it that the demigod Maui (of Moana fame), lassoed the sun itself from atop the mighty volcano and yanked it ‘cross the blue sky. Climb to the top of Haleakala and witness the spectacular sunrise or sunset for yourself.
