Oahu to Kahului: Best of Maui, Sips, Sites & Bites
What your day looks like
Escape to another Hawaiian island for a day on this all-inclusive tour. Hop on an inter-island flight from Oahu to Maui for a once-in-a-lifetime experience. See essential Maui on this laid-back journey showcasing nature’s finery, historic landmarks, and charming country towns. Haleakala National Park is truly magnificent in the daytime hours; its steep slopes are bathed in sunlight and endemic wildlife freely roams the landscape. Leisurely observe rate Nene geese in their native habitat and discover the secret of the rare Silversword plant. Enjoy a visit to the Iao Valley State Monument, a peaceful 4,000-acre tropical rainforest. After a short walk past a meandering stream through a forest bursting with native Hawaiian plant life, gaze high above at the iconic Iao Needle – a natural outcropping jutting from the mountainside. The needle is covered in emerald green vegetation and towers 1,200 feet over Iao Valley. Iao Valley is rich in history as a former ancient burial site for Hawaii’s royalty. *NOTE: Guests under 21 must wait outside during tastings (15–20 minutes), and a valid photo ID is required.
