  • The Best of NileGuide
  • Often times, tourists visit the coastal towns of Kihei, Wailea, Ka'anapali, and Lahaina, and neglect the charms of central Maui.

    The most famous attraction in central Maui has to be Iao Valley. Historically, Iao Valley was the battle ground for a brutal battle that finally united all the Hawaiian Islands under one monarchy. The beautiful park offers hiking trails past creeks and through Maui's thick vegetation. Ascend a steep set of stairs to obtain an amazing view of Iao Needle.

    You can also access some unforgettable tours through operators located in central Maui, such as Blue Hawaiian Helicopter Tours and Robert's Hawaii, which provides narrated bus tours across the island.

    Lastly, check out some of the top beaches that the locals frequent. Spots like Kanaha and Baldwin Beach can be packed on the weekends. Surf stores like Maui Tropix and Hi-Tech offer great selections on beach gear.
