One of the most sacred spots on the island, ‘Iao Valley—a National Natural Landmark whose biggest claim to fame is the 1,200 foot-high lava spire at its center—presents one photo opp after another, from lush vegetation along its valley floors to extensive views of the weathered central coast. As the site of one of Hawaii’s most brutal wars—the Battle of Kepaniwai in 1790—it’s rumored that its stream waters once ran red with the blood of victims. Poignancy is felt in the air here, but the same waters are now lucid and lovely, jutting up against moss-covered boulders and rocks that seem to dance between shadow and light. 4,000 acres of tranquility are enhanced by a steep but worthwhile climb up 133 steps, where you’ll be presented with 360-degrees vistas that practically beg to be captured. Plants abound on its Lookout Trail and Ethnobotanical Trail, but as “cloud supreme” (to which ‘Iao’s Hawaiian name translates), do know it’s best to arrive in the morning before the fog arrives. If you’d like to supplement your trip to the park with guided assistance, look no further than Valley Isle Excursions, whose tour of ‘Iao also includes a stop at Kepaniwai Heritage Gardens—a public space that honors the myriad cultures that shaped modern Maui.

"Location is great "

Wailea Beach Resort - Marriott, Maui

10/10 Excellent

"The resort is very nice, the lobby beautiful, and the pools are very nice. What stands out is the service. Every single employee was extremely nice, helpful, courteous and resourceful. A terrific group of employees, which makes for a very special stay. The rooms are not spectacular, but they are clean, roomy with a terrific shower. This is a great resort. We were very happy."
