Closed from Oct 16, 2017 for approx. 2 months

Check before you go. Apparently making road repairs. Made the trip and did not know in advance. If you do go, the town of Wailuku was a nice place to shop. It’s nearby.

Awesome area

Loved this area! Hiked all the way up which was just a little challenging. Was able to get some great pictures, there are a lot of different plants and flowers.

If more of it re-opens...

Then maybe it'll be great (again?) but as it stands it's a worn out 10 min walk. Nothing too spectacular and not worth 5$. Park on the street and save your dough. I understand the place has special historical and cultural significance, but it's not...More

Feast for the Eyes

To visit this monument, you drive to Iao Valley State Park, pay $5 to park and follow a set of staircases all the way to the top for a great view. Many spots along the way are photo ops. You can also take the staircases...More

Quick, beautiful place to stop.

Not much to see as so much is closed but we enjoyed the quick hike and the natural beauty. It was the lush, green Hawaii we expected to see on this trip.

Serene

Lucky enough to visit before the area closed for maintenance. Mountains are so majestic and serene. You could feel the mana. A must see, but please respect the locals and environment if you come.

It was a nice 5-15 mph ride on a road that was almost a single lane. Bridges were a single lane and there are a lot of them. I thought it would be like Highway 1 along the Big Sur, but it wasn't. Not that...More

The spot of the bloodiest battle in Hawaii's history, is now a lush and beautiful park!

Here in 1790, King Kamehameha I won the battle that unified the Hawaiian islands. Now, it's one of the most beautiful spots on Maui, and that's saying something. The long trail was closed for some time, due to damage caused by flooding. It re-opened in...More
