• Explore the main attractions and hidden gems of West Maui. The journey begins in the historic plantation town of Wailuku, moving on to an ancient volcano with a remarkable rainforest valley called Iao Valley, which features the iconic Iao Needle. Over time, erosion and rainfall have transformed Iao Valley into a vibrant green space, complete with a river flowing through its floor, hosting various species of flora and fauna. While at the botanical garden, information will be provided about the valley’s history and the early Hawaiians who settled there, including details about one of the fiercest battles fought in Hawaii. • The next stop is Maui Tropical Plantation, where visitors can stroll along well-maintained paths amidst tropical vegetation and view vintage equipment from the sugar milling era. The on-site gift shop offers locally made vodka, coconut candy, and other unique souvenirs. Note that the tram ride is not included. • Subsequently, the tour ascends a west Maui slope to take in panoramic views of the central valley from the King Kamehameha lookout. Here, you will hear stories about the historical significance of the area, including connections to notable figures like Frank Lloyd Wright and Marilyn Monroe. • The route then proceeds along the south shore to showcase Maui's stunning beaches and the moon-like lava fields that resulted from the 1790 volcanic eruption of Haleakala. • During the return drive to the North Shore, the final stop is a sea cliff overlook at Ho‘okipa Beach. View the ocean, waves, and surfers, with the possibility of spotting Hawaiian Green Sea Turtles basking on the shore. A brief walk allows for closer encounters with the local wildlife. Enjoy the scenic views on the way back to the port.
