Top 45 things to do and attractions in Wailea

Beautiful beach with an amazing view! There is plenty of free parking nearby with breathtaking views. This is a must visit when you are in Maui.

Such a great beach. Wasn’t too crowded. Soft sand in and out of the water. Little lava fields at both ends that attract fish and turtles for snorkeling. The waves are flat and great for swimming, not so good for anything else. Very calming and relaxing and peaceful. No shade so bring your own.

If you’re visiting Maui, make sure to stop by Polo Beach, - Wailea Beach located right next to the Fairmont Kea Lani. It’s a beautiful, calm spot perfect for swimming, sunbathing, or simply soaking in the island serenity. The soft golden sand, gentle waves, and laid-back atmosphere make it a true Maui gem. And remember — all beaches in Hawaii are open to the public, so everyone can enjoy this little piece of paradise. During our visit, we even saw whales passing by in the distance — an unforgettable sight! Stay for the sunset, and you’ll understand why Polo Beach is one of Wailea’s best-kept secrets.

Beautiful! Absolutely beautiful. This was our favorite part of our stay. My son played in the waves for hours. We had to pull him away each time. The waves can really get wild, so be careful and keep an eye on little ones, no lifeguard here. We went in August and it was quite hot, hitting 90s each day and the sun is intense. Be prepared with preferably some shade to take a break and sunscreen, of course.

What can we say it an island surrounded by the ocean . Great place we snorkel for hours.

We love Wailea Beach. This has to be the most beautiful beach on Maui. The sand is truly like sugar, so soft.

Probably my favourite beach on the island for enjoying the sun and playing in the water. The sand is soft and fine, there's little or no rocks, and the wave action is enough to be fun to play in if you want without being too beat up, or you can choose the calmer area too. Big bonus is the beautiful sunsets from this location. The parking is good, and there's a bathroom and shower to wash off when you're done.

Polo Beach was similar to Slaughterhouse Beach! The waves were active and perfect! Slaughterhouse wins out because of the crystal clear waters!

Very nice beach to take a dip in the water or a walk on the beach

Great beach with beautiful views. Very clean and sand is soft. Showers and restrooms close to parking and sand. Will visit every chance we have. Family friendly. Saw a couple of sea turtles, which was awesome.

This beach is small but a lot of fun. Beach has the perfect size of waves for the family. They have bathrooms and a showers. I only saw one picnic table next to the showers. Look for the sign beach access and they have free parking. Have fun peeps.

We went 2 different days and the waves day 1 were great for 10 and 12 year old to boogie board. Last day we went waves were much bigger but so much fun. Clean bathrooms and showers.

Remember Polo beach! It is between polo club resort and fairmont resort. There are restroom, shower, and plenty of parking. But it is not well know. Small sand beach but luxurious look and beautiful. Highly recommend!

What a wonderful beach, it isn't as large as other beaches, there is nice white sands, medium waves, black rocks jetting out, palm trees are all around. There are public washrooms, a couple of picnic tables, a wash area to shower off afterward. Great place to have photos done too ;)

We dined here on our honeymoon and we loved the experience! The ambiance of the restaurant was really fun and it was cool to see all the various cocktails and things on the menu. We got truffle fries and some type of ravioli to start… loved the fries but would not recommend the ravioli. It was a weird texture and overpoweringly cheesy. The drinks and margaritas pizza were great, too! We came for happy hour and our waiter was great! We did feel a little forgotten about at the end of our meal, but it was starting to pick up a ton by that time as it transitioned to dinner time.

A beautiful restaurant with delicious locally themed dishes and a staff that is efficient, friendly, and attentive. The restaurant is comfortably decorated in a modern tropical theme. Tables and booths are available and are spaced so that you're not on top of other visitors. A large bar offers comfortable counter service. Tables are also available on an outside patio. We have never needed to make reservations. However, during busier times of the year and for large groups it would probably be smart to make arrangements. A free parking lot is available adjacent to the restaurant.

My husband and I were in Maui last week for our honeymoon and we came to Monkeypod twice during our stay. The first night I got the famous mai tai and it was delicious. I’m not even really a fan of sour/sweet cocktails, but the foam on this one really made it special and more decadent. We tried several items, but we especially loved the sashimi tacos, beef bulgogi tacos, and the gyoza. All were exceptional! If we are ever back in Maui we will definitely come back again!

Overall a good experience. The major negative was the kitchen service fee. Is that your credit card fee? Enforced kitchen staff tip? What gives? At these prices, that's just a money grab. Shame on you. Anyway, kiddo had fish & chips. He's not discerning and ate it all. Husband had the chicken. No complaints but nothing spectacular. I had the mahi mahi. It was good but not great. Fancy Mai Tai was very good but I have now had a better one at another restaurant in town. Service was great. So that matched the prices. It was okay but you can get the same food and drinks elsewhere for less.

Great foodie spot in Maui for anyone wanting a solid, flavor packed meal! I had many fiends recommend trying Monkeypod on top of the local reputation this place carries. I highly encourage everyone to make a reservation as this place gets booked up very quickly, even on a weekday. For those without a reservation, I heard the hostess tell someone it would be over an hour before getting seated. (Just a heads up!) The food was very good, overall! The entrees in particular. I had the bulgogi beef tacos and my partner ordered the gnocchi. Both were exceptional! The tacos were drizzled in a chile aioli, a fresh chile, and some crunchy veg. Truly one of the best tacos I’ve had in a really long time. At first I thought the dish was small for the price, but they’re packed and I left very full. My mouth still waters thinking about this meal! My partner who orders the gnocchi feels the same way. His dish was rich, filling, and balanced by the addition of veg. He said to me “oh, so this is how gnocchi are supposed to taste!” Once you’ve had these light, fluffy pillows you can’t go back to the rubbery version most restaurants serve. My partner also remarked he enjoyed this dish so much he’d be hard pressed to order or try anything else! However, we both felt the same about the tortilla soup - it was underwhelming. It was too spicy and not balanced by anything. It wasn’t super hot when severed and I’d not order it again. Given how great the entrees were this appetizer should be reconsidered or removed from the menu. The atmosphere is laid back, feels casual, and very loud. The evening we dined inside it was packed and I could barely hear my partner talk. If this bothers you then you walk may want to ask about outdoor dining. Also, due to how busy the night was, the staff tried turning tables over very quickly which lead to small missteps in service. For example, the guys busing the tables wiped food onto the seats and left it there for the next diner to clean or possibly sit on. On a brighter note, when I used the restroom I did witness a staff member wash their hands for a full minute and avoid touching the door handle upon exit! 🎉👏 Love seeing good hygiene practices! The service was great the entire evening. Our server was very knowledgeable about the menu, described the dishes in great detail, which was very helpful in making our menu selections. Overall, I’d highly recommend making a reservation and making Monkeypod part of your Maui visit! It was easily one of my favorite meals during the whole trip and I’d absolutely go back!

We dined at Monkeypod three times during our 7 nights in Wailea, and each visit was incredible! The food is absolutely outstanding, but what made our experience unforgettable was the service—especially from our server, Ryan. We had him the first night we visited and again before heading to the airport, and he is simply amazing. The way he describes the food and drinks, his warmth and professionalism—it’s service like we’ve never experienced before. Our last meal at Monkeypod was the perfect send-off from Maui. Thank you, Ryan, for the exceptional hospitality—we hope to see you again in the future!

Overall good review. They will tell you to come on in without a reservation but expect a 30 min wait. When you go to buy a drink at the bar while you’re waiting the bartender will abruptly direct you to a line to order a drink which felt strange. I had the fish and chips which was very good. My wife had a pizza which was very limp and wet and wasn’t great but not horrible. Our waiter was outstanding once we got to our table. Their prices are very fair for the food, the drinks are a little pricey. And the Mai Tai is as good as rumored.

Smooth sand (virtually no rocks). Grassy area next to the sand for even more comfortable seating. Beautiful water, great temperature. Waves were pleasant. Free parking/access. This beach was "just right" for us.

This beach was recommended by several staff from our hotel. The beach is beautiful with its very smooth sand. It’s a little tricky navigating from the parking lot while carrying beach chairs and umbrellas. The place was crowded when we visited, I can see why there why the place is popular with swimmers.

Easy to find because its on a dead end street. Very small parking lot, and only 1 porta potty that was due for cleaning and emptying. The beach was chill, a reef right at sand level for easy snorkeling. You can get in and out without issue. I recommend going in the morning for more fish and turtle viewing. We went in the afternoon and saw fish and a baby octopus but no turtles. A guy said he was there early morning and saw multiple turtles and small spotted eagle ray.

Always a great beach to swim at, with interesting formations for snorkeling. Nice showers and well maintained restrooms for a comfortable day at one of Maui's most scenic beaches.

Great beach for swimming, snorkeling. Saw a sea turtle swimming by the rocks. There are two parking lots and easy beach access.

Great beach for exploring. The day we went, the surf was pretty rough so we just explored around the rocks. Easy parking and lots of shade.

Great beach, kid friendly place and easy access to parking

Very disappointing experience at Wailea Tennis Club. When I arrived, I was told the ball machine was put away because they “didn’t have faith” I would show up, even though I never had a reservation the day before. Later, when it rained, the staff angrily shut things down and told us to leave without offering any help while we were stuck in the downpour. The way I was treated felt dismissive and discriminatory as an Asian guest. Unprofessional, unwelcoming, and nobody should ever come here.

Beautiful facility with 10 courts, excellent customer service, friendly knowledgeable employees, very helpful. Also, very nice selection of shoes, clothing, rackets and anything tennis related with decent prices. Full service pro shop. Memberships, clinics, lessons, ball machine, pickle ball court, round robin, even player matching!

Excellent tennis facility with amazing staff! The courts are in fantastic condition and the pro shop well stocked with everything a tennis player needs. Thank you Wailea tennis Club!

A great place to play tennis on our vacation to Maui. Johnathan and Lexi were great!

Amazing club! We came here for a doubles game, and needed to rent everything. All the rackets and equipment are top notch, and the tennis pro is super helpful and accommodating. We ended up buying the rackets we rented for a super good deal. I highly recommend Wailea Tennis Club!

This place has it all for the serious tennis player. Great instructors, large numbers of courses, match arranging and more!!! I loved coming here for my two and a half month long stay, and can't wait to go back next summer. The staff are amazing, personal, and very friendly and helpful. I go every other day, from 7 A.M. to 5 P.M. and never get tired of being around them. Patrick is very helpful and honest, Jill is energetic, Morgan is insightful and quite the character, Chan is dedicated and tennis smart, and Ricky is the man, and the one who had mentored me the most, and the one who I most attribute my recent improvement to. All around, this place is the absolute best for those who are willing to do what it takes to improve their game or have fun. 10 out of 10 would visit again.

The restaurant food and staff are SO GOOD! Though the menu is limited, they worked hard to meet our restrictive diet needs. Panko cauliflower was deeeeeelish. Server was a sweetheart and the drinks were delicious! Dragonfruit margarita was a little tart and tasty, pono watermelon sugar high and pono Maui sunset were both drool worthy. Cashew cheese was great. Plenty of good grinds even for vegan. Will be back!

We had booked this luau without looking at Google reviews first and let me be the bearer of bad news but the most recent reviews were pretty spot on. The positives: the location was phenomenal. The sunset views were out of what seemed like a catalog. The hotel, impeccable and stunning. The outdoor setting was clean and beautifully sculpted. The wait and seating staff were kind and friendly. The not so positive: the food was bland. For the price that is advertised for this luau, we expected a unique and flavorful dish/dishes but nothing popped out as unique or different. I'd also like to add that the desserts looked like they were bought from the store, as seen in the pictures. The entertainers were 50/50, half seemed really into the performance and the other half seemed like they didn't want to be there. Again, for the price, I'd assume a performance that was more entertaining. On a side note, my wife and I have never been to a luau and didn't know what to expect however in this instance, more money for a luau does not mean a better experience. This was a mediocre experience with a great view but with nothing special and nothing warranting the price paid for the luau.

We booked the premium seating and had a wonderful time! Everyone working there was super nice and friendly. Especially our server Joe, who was kind and super attentive. When my daughter said she felt a little cold, he brought her a warm towel to keep cozy. That really made us feel cared for. The drinks were tasty, the food was fresh and delicious. And there was a lot of it! We definitely didn’t leave hungry. The show was so fun, with dancing, chanting, and the fire performance. Our kids loved it, and they still talk about Chief Mana and his fire tricks! Before the show, there were fun things to do like lawn games, hula dancing, temporary tattoos, and photos. The neck pieces they gave us before seating were beautiful and well made. We also would recommend the photograph service. It's $50/photo if I recall correctly, but the quality and keepsake value made it totally worth it. The sunset view was absolutely stunning! One small issue is that when we changed our date, the staff mentioned that our original table would be changed to a different number with not much explanation on what that really meant. When we got there I realized that it was still premium seating, but now second row, and the table in front of us blocked a lot of the view especially for the little ones. Lots of time they had to stand or move to see the stage, which wasn’t ideal. If they could arrange the seating better so every premium seat has a clear view, it’d be perfect. Overall, we had a wonderful night full of good food, great service, and fun entertainment. Would totally recommend!

I've attended different Luaus before and this was my first time attending with my significant other, and unfortunately, we did not have a good experience. For this price and not being able to enjoy the food is very disappointing. The meat was inedible. Did not enjoy entertainment. The staff were nice. I recommend exploring other options when considering booking a Luau. There are plenty of great options.

For the premium pricing at a premium resort we were expecting an outstanding experience yet it felt commercial and bland. The entertainers did not seem very passionate about being there. The fire dance at the end was not very impressive with only one guy spinning the fire rod. The food was good, but nothing stood out. It was very similar to what we ordered at a local diner. The VIP tickets don’t get you any other benefits than a table in front. You don’t even get a lei. We had a good time and made memories but it was not worth the higher ticket prices compared to other luau’s.

The grounds are gorgeous. The Luai was AWFUL. Not much dancing, pig that was brought out is a plastic pig on a gurney, food is Horrible. I can see why people are not attending this event. Too much money for what you get. Very disappointed. I would strongly suggest other Luai’s to attend in Maui. November 2025

The food and service here were great. I enjoyed learning about the culture and loved the interactive part of the show. My boyfriend stole the show with his moves. I hate that I did not get it on camera. We had a table to ourselves at the stage, so it was a bit pricey. Overall we enjoyed the experience.

We spent the extra money for "premium seating". We told them we had one vegan before arriving. You have to arrive at 5:30. Tables are all in the sun, no umbrellas, our premium seating was on the side with other tables in front of us. The stage was obstructed and we would have had a better view with general seating. Vegan meal was horrible, but in general food was not good. They serve tao chips from a bag you can buy in the grocery store! Bartenders were rude and the show was not good. The only interesting part was the last act of fire juggling. I have been to much better luaus. They charge 50.00 for a picture, that was also a scam. Save your money and find something else.

The Shops of Wailea is a stylish luxury mall within walking distance of major resorts. Located on 2 levels, with elevators and ramps fully handicap accessible. Plenty of free parking in the surrounding lot. A modern complex of high-end stores of major international and famous brands - mainly jewelry and watches, apparel, art, furniture. A few restaurants like Maui Brewing Co., Wolfgang's Steakhouse, Ruth Chris Steakhouse, Aurum, and others. Live music and performances in the central courtyard during afternoons.

If you’re visiting Maui, this place is a must! 🌺 A beautiful mix of local boutiques and high-end favorites like Gucci, Prada, Louis Vuitton, and Tiffany & Co — all surrounded by palm trees, open-air walkways, and that signature island breeze. 🌴 There are plenty of great spots to eat and drink, and don’t forget to check out the happy hour 🍹 the perfect way to unwind after a little retail therapy! Plus, there’s lots of parking, so no stress getting in and out. 🚗✨ And if you’re thinking about buying, selling, or renting property in Maui, stop by and see my friend Scarlett Marten from Coldwell Banker, she’s right in the mall and knows the island market like no one else. 🏝️🏡

Great mix of upscale and ‘standard’ shops. Plus a few places to grab a meal, a bite, or even just a drink. Beautiful two-story outdoor mall. Stage in the center of it all for hula shows and other performances. That weekend they also had a wood carving artist. Incredible wood statues of turtles and other oceanic idols. My fav joints: Waikiki Brewing Company for Pima coladas and Mai Tais (of course Waikiki is on Oahu not Maui), Honolulu Cookie Company (also based on Oahu), and Soha Living for cool home decor items. Go upstairs for more upscale: Prada, St Laurent, LV, and Gucci. They also have a lulu which is somewhere between uplift and standard.

We loved coming here on our honeymoon! There’s a great variety of shops & restaurants from casual to higher-end. We loved Waikiki brewing co, Arum, Maui Matcha, and the vintage tshirt store!!!

Just spent ten days in Maui. Three of those days I stopped by The Shops at Wailea. An open air mall like none other that I have explored, kept me coming back for more. My wife and I first stopped by for some hamburgers at the Waikiki Brewing Company. Then we visited a world famous Tiki carving store. I also had the opportunity to stop by the Tiffany Store and learned about the diamond trade, and admire some rings that sparkled like the stars on a clear night. The sorbet at the Lapperts shop was delicious. The Mall also has art galleries that we enjoyed looking over. I purchased a book about the great Hawaiian, Duke from the SoHa store. There is something for everyone here and it is a joy finding it.

If you get bored of overspending at Whalers Village and want to overspend somewhere else then let me introduce you to The Shops at Wailea! In all seriousness, this does feel very similar to Whalers Village, especially since the shopping experience feels catered more to the nearby hotel guests than anything. There’s some variety in the shops in terms of content and price point and parking is good so it’s accessible. The grounds itself are very pretty and clean and the stores were well kept and staffed. There are some restaurant/food options but less so than Whalers Village. A big plus is that they do have an ABC store here which boosts the utility of the shopping center. Another big plus is that they do have performances here at certain times and when we walked through there was an artist who had his carvings out on display, he may have even been the owner of the gallery on the top floor, but we’re unsure. The whole place is nice and a good shopping option so if you’re nearby and want to go window (or real) shopping then this is a solid spot.

I visited The Shops at Wailea while vacationing in Maui from the mainland. I was looking to do a little shopping and explore some local spots, and this place popped up a lot in travel guides and recommendations. It’s definitely a beautiful shopping center—nicely landscaped, clean, and with that open-air tropical vibe that makes strolling around feel relaxing. That said, once I got there, it felt more like a tourist trap than an authentic shopping destination. The main draw seems to be the high-end designer stores like Gucci, Louis Vuitton, and Prada, which are fine if you’re looking to splurge. But if you’re just casually browsing or hoping to pick up something unique or more local, the options are limited. There are a few art galleries and souvenir shops, but many of them are also super pricey. I was honestly a little surprised by how expensive everything was across the board—even the casual shops and cafes were charging premium prices. I get that it’s Maui and in a resort area, but it still felt like a bit much. It’s clearly geared toward tourists staying in nearby luxury resorts. That said, it’s still a nice place to kill some time. Parking was free and easy when I went, and it’s a comfortable spot to walk around, window shop, or grab a coffee. The location is great, and you’re close to a lot of beautiful beaches and resorts, so it’s convenient to swing by if you’re in the area. Just don’t expect any great deals or a huge variety of shops. Overall, I’d say it’s worth visiting once if you’re nearby, especially if you’re into high-end brands or want to check out the scene—but be ready for sticker shock.

This will be my last time going to Wailea Blue Course. While the course itself is beautiful, the customer service was one of the worst experiences I’ve had at a golf course, especially one attached to a high-end resort. From the start, one of the cart attendants was extremely rude and condescending. Instead of welcoming us, he judged our appearance and made unnecessary comments like “you guys look like you Cruise,” which came across as insulting. As locals, it felt like he was putting us down as if we were at the bottom compared to resort guests. That’s not the kind of atmosphere you expect when paying premium prices to play here. To make matters worse, after finishing the round, this same attendant came up to us and said, “don’t pick up the trash, that’s how you pay us.” This was shocking, disrespectful, and completely unprofessional. Golf should be enjoyable, respectful, and inclusive, but this experience left us feeling unwelcome and disrespected. As someone who manages for a high-end resort myself, I found this behavior disgusting and far below the standard of hospitality. I will not be recommending Wailea Blue Course to any of my high-end guests, nor will I be returning. A course of this caliber should be setting the standard for service ,not allowing employees to ruin what should have been a great day of golf.

Great golf course and very wonderful touches. Ashley, front desk, was extremely rude to us and put a sour taste in our mouth. We could even hear her radioing in to the other staff talking down on us. For $500 for two people and receive that treatment, it stings! All other staff were lovely and very kind to us.

Customer service was top notch. Green fees are high, but what isn’t these days…you gotta pay to play! Staff was great, course conditions were awesome and the views were beautiful. I’ll definitely be back!

A great course to play with beautiful scenery on many of the holes!

I have never played this course. Must have butt dialed the review! Played tennis there though and had a blast. The golf looked great.

Nice course, beautiful views and great staff. Was paired with 2 players from the Bay area. Couldn't have a better time

We had a mid day tee time, the ranges were easy to get a quick warm up at then it was easy to fall in. 18 holes flew by with breathtaking views, the cart woman was friendly, and the course was well manicured. We had a great time getting out and having some fun.

The views were incredible throughout the whole course! My boyfriend played the Emerald course because we heard it has the best views and was the second most challenging course. He played great, the staff was super friendly and accommodating! If we come back to Hawaii I can 100% promise we will be back. We played in the morning and it was amazing weather the whole time we were there. We got through pretty quickly, no waiting for anyone ahead as tee times are spaced out perfectly to make it a very enjoyable experience. I absolutely recommend coming here!

Wailea Gold was 10/10. Highlights: - Greens: phenomenal. Ran fast but fair. Can’t be above the pin but setup rewarded shotmaking. Compare to Kapalua Bay Course with greens that were essentially unplayable - Pace: played early morning sub 4 hours. Felt like a slice of paradise to ourselves, barely saw other players - Staff: everyone was courteous and helpful. Beverage cart was particularly awesome (thanks Tia!) - Design: this is really an interesting test of golf. You need to think your way around the course. I could see good golfers going very low or very high depending on strategy

Played the Gold course and really enjoyed the layout and the conditions were excellent. Course was not busy in the afternoon and no wind! Greens and fairways were in excellent condition, bunkers have lots of sand and I was in quite a few. Great views as well. We had a really excellent time.

The clubhouse offers a fantastic selection of stylish merchandise, and they even provide discounts if you’re staying in hotels in the Wailea area. One unique feature is the special topless cart you take to the driving range. The chipping green is in superb condition, so set aside some time before your round to enjoy it, it will give you a good feel of what the actual greens will be like. The golf course itself is both challenging and breathtaking, making it absolutely worth every dollar. Everything is impeccably maintained, and their service truly enhances the experience. Make sure to grab a bag tag before you leave, same for all your Hawaii courses. Highly recommend this course to anyone visiting Wailea

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Absolutely incredible golf experience at Wailea Golf Club! I had the chance to play both the Gold and Emerald Courses, and they completely exceeded my expectations. The Gold Course is a golfer’s dream. It’s challenging but so rewarding, with perfectly designed holes that make you think strategically. Hole #8, with its downhill par 3 and stunning ocean views, was absolutely breathtaking. The rugged terrain and immaculate fairways made this course unforgettable. The Emerald Course was equally amazing but in a more relaxing way. It’s less demanding than the Gold, but the lush landscaping and vibrant tropical flowers are just mesmerizing. Hole #10, with its wide fairway and panoramic ocean view, was a personal favorite. Both courses are impeccably maintained, and the views of the Pacific, Molokini, and Haleakalā are unbeatable. I enjoyed every minute here—it’s paradise for any golfer. Can’t wait to come back!

Claude Brosseau the PGA Master Professional coach was amazing! Best lesson I've ever had. He also can continue remote lessons when I go back. Very happy with the lesson for me and my wife and I would recommend him to anybody else on the fence or interested to ask for Claude.

Absolutely my favorite 3 course that I've ever played!!! Thank you for everything!!!

My wife and I came in to make a last minute appointment for a massage. This was my first time getting a massage and they had us outdoors in a private cabana at a stunning vista. The massage was incredible, staff were accommodating and friendly. Could not have asked for a better experience.

Wow. This is by far the best massage experience in Maui. It’s a beautiful setting with option to have massage indoor or outdoor. Every massage therapist I’ve had is amazing. I have not been coming here every year I come to Maui. Skip the overrated and overpriced hotel spas, and come here instead. Here there is much better pricing and a way more authentic and friendly experience! (They also have a nice center with programming and other classes, including yoga, sound healing, etc.!)

We had such a wonderful experience with our couple’s massage! Rebecca worked with my partner and La-Rue worked with me, and both were absolutely fantastic. They were professional, attentive, and made us feel completely relaxed and cared for. The whole session was exactly what we needed — soothing, rejuvenating, and deeply enjoyable. Highly recommend Rebecca, La-Rue, and the team here if you’re looking for a memorable massage experience in Wailea!

We had couples massages for our honeymoon. The massages were amazing and really hit the spot. The therapists were very accommodating and super chill. The ambiance was also spectacular. We recommend outdoors massages and a time close to sunset. Really added to the experience. Mahalo!

Hands down the best massage my wife and I have ever received, and we’ve had our fair share over the years. Wailea Healing Center is a peaceful, welcoming atmosphere. Rebecca and “Guru” Larue were nothing short of exceptional. Their attention to detail, intuitive touch, and calming energy made this experience unforgettable. We walked out feeling not just relaxed, but truly restored. If you’re in Maui and looking for something more than just a massage, something healing, this is the place. We can’t recommend it enough.

To start this has nothing to do with the masseuses, we normally do a couples massage and schedule with LaRue & Robyn who are AMAZING Masseuse. Hands down both of them 5 stars plus! We book 3 to 4 couple massages each time we come to Maui twice a year withWailea Healing Center for the last 3 years. This trip we had our concierge person book 2 massages last week everything went good but things felt off at the business and we learn David was no longer part of the business. We learned our concierge’s person was having trouble getting those two massages booked finally she was able to get them book so we decided we would do one more time before we left. Our concierge’s person called the owner directly on Friday got us booked for Monday at 4:00pm and possibly Tuesday if LaRue & Robyn were available. Normally we receive at confirmation text we thought it was strange we hadn’t received one yet for Monday so we re-checked with our concierge. She confirmed everything was set up and she received a confirmation email directly from the owner. We show up today at 3:40pm nobody’s was there and normally LaRue is standing there waiting for us because he knows we show 15 to 20 minutes early. Nobody was there - 4:00pm came still nobody. We call our concierge person to verify we did not make a mistake she told us it was today at 4:00pm. She said I’ll call the owner and call us right back. She contacted the owner to find out the owner, forgot to schedule the masseuse’s for our Massage for Monday & Tuesday. We were VERY disappointed and felt devalued and unappreciative, and that our business with Wailea Healing Center did not matter. Right now we don’t know if we’ll return to this business for massages. The hard part is in making that decision is we love LaRue & Robyn.

Amazing experience, I had massages from both Jennifer and Robyn who were both 10/10. The massages could not have been anymore beautiful and enjoyable. We were greeted with coconut water and a golf cart ride to our massage hut set up outdoors on the top of the hill overlooking the ocean. Jennifer was also so sweet and kind to answer our questions for top dining experiences In Maui. There is no way you could regret an experience such as we had, thank you so much ladies.

Maluaka Beach is an intimate sliver of golden sand beach that parallels the former Maui Prince Resort in Makena along Makena Road. Views of Kahoolawe, Molokini, Lanai, west Maui and Molokai are drop-dead gorgeous, along with the ocean’s hues of blues and greens. There are no facilities here sans for a lifesaving float belt posted near the beach’s entrance. As long as there’s no south swells, the water is very calm; good for swimming/floating and snorkeling with a small reef close to shore. A convenient loading zone is available near the beach allowing you to load/unload your gear. A lack of parking is the only downfall as Makena Road is a residential street with just a few spots along the shoulders. There is a small park and parking lot just north of the beach that also sports restrooms. OVERALL: The “baby beach” of Makena.

Maluaka Beach is beautiful and has nice sand, but the surf was pretty rough when we visited, with waves breaking right on the shoreline which made it a bit tricky to get in and out of the water. We also didn’t see many fish while snorkeling unless we went out past the rocks along the side, so maybe the marine life depends on the time of day. We visited from about 9am to 11am. Overall, it’s a decent beach, but not quite the calm snorkeling spot we were hoping for.

Great spot for snorkeling! Not too far out is some coral with lots of fish to see and close to the shore just standing in the water we saw about 6 turtles swim right past us. It was amazing!

One of the best swimming and snorkeling beaches on Maui. An all time favorite.

The south end of this smallish beach filled steadily with resort guests but the north end was lightly populated on a Saturday morning. The best snorkeling though is on the south end, not right along the rocks, but further out above the coral. The visibility was decent and while there weren't great numbers, there was a wide variety of fish. There is a fair amount of shade available all morning, and there was a nice breeze while we were there. The waves picked up several times but then always calmed down again. Unless you're just one person, plan to drop a person and gear at the drive-through for the beach park, then park back up the road across from the church, where there's nice shade, bathrooms and sand showers.

Beautiful beach and grassy are for picnicking. Great for sunset photos.

Come early to get the best spot before the crowds. We arrived at 930am and practically had the beach to ourselves until noon during the week. Great place to snorkel and see sea turtles and fish. I was only waste deep standing by the shore and one swam right by me. I’m a novice swimmer and the water was very calm

The beach is great for swimming. It’s deep and is sandy far out. I also loved that the sand was more packed in and the wind wasn’t as crazy so the umbrella was staying in place. Lots of free parking. Restrooms and water rinse off station.

I loved this beach! The waves were so calm, the sand was soft and fine, not too many people! I came multiple times

This beach is absolutely amazing! The soft, pristine sand and beautifully clean surroundings make it the perfect spot to spend an entire day. The vibrant coral reefs add a stunning touch, making it ideal for snorkeling and exploring underwater wonders. As the day winds down, the breathtaking sunset is truly the cherry on top, creating an unforgettable view. A must-visit for beach lovers!

Biked here and stopped for a water break. Awesome views, calm waters in the am, similar to Kam beaches.

Gorgeous beach, great snorkelling. We went during the week in the morning and found a parking spot no problem.

We enjoyed several beaches on our trip but kept coming back to this one! Great beach for wading and enjoying the water.

A beautiful beach with ample public parking and stunning views.

We had the BEST experience with our paddle board rental. Peg was super helpful & we saw so many turtles and sea life!! 10/10 experience.

Peg is fantastic! She couldn’t help see that we could use a few pointers on our SUP session, so she swam out, gave my wife her own board, and helped us improve our form. She’s great and highly recommend you go out with Turtle Town SUP

Peg and Turtle Town SUP were great! If you want an unforgettable and safe paddle board/snorkel experience look no further. Peg’s vast experience on the island was great for our water adventure that day, but also came in handy for the rest of our vacation. She is extremely accommodating and easy to work with. Thanks for all the great recommendations and Aloha spirit!

Good beers and food, with great sunset views and evening live bands. There's a dance floor to boogie down with the music. Tickets must be purchased when there's a band here.

Fabulous Service and Food at Mulligan’s on the Blue in Maui, Hawaii. I wanted to extend my sincerest thanks Michael O’Dwyer and the entire staff at Mulligan’s on the Blue located at 100 Kaukahi, St. in Wailea/Kihei, Maui. If you are looking for a family-run business great for families, couples and individuals alike, that serves especially tasty food and cold drinks with entertainment, against the backdrop of historical Irish flair, beautiful palm trees and the picturesque Maui sunset—Mulligan’s on the Blue is the place to go. I went in search of an appropriate place to bring my wife and tween children with good food, excellent attention to the patron and entertainment while in Maui. I am happy to say that Mulligan’s provided us with a phenomenal experience. The food at Mulligan’s was especially tasty and savory. I recommend the brisket ribs and BBQ ribs—the meat falls off the bone it’s so tender. The coconut shrimp were mouth watering and the cheeseburger and fries were perfect. Additionally, the service at Mulligan’s was excellent. At the outset, a special “Mahalo” to owner, Michael O’Dwyer. Despite a packed restaurant owner/manager/ and all around great guy, Michael O’Dwyer, took time out from cooking to cordially greet my wife and children and recount a bit of the restaurant’s history referencing several pieces of poster art hanging on the wall. He also let us know that, as a family run business on Maui for almost 25 years, the restaurant’s food and service were a source of familial pride. Family, staff, local patrons and visiting customers, alike, all contribute to the restaurant’s success. When my family arrived at Mulligan’s, it was busy. Even though Mulligan’s was very crowded, Juan and Mauricio, our waiters, provided us with a table quickly and efficiently—minimizing wait time. Juan and Mauricio, the gentlemen who took our orders and assisted us, were friendly and cordial. Juan explained menu options, suggested food we might like to sample, made polite conversation with my wife and children in both Spanish and English, was very attentive to me and my family and, I noticed, to each person seated at the other tables. Both Juan and Mauricio provided us with exceptional service over and above what normally might be expected—and more than what I have received at other restaurants in and around Maui and NYC. Especially, in view of the many other restaurant guests to which they had to tend. Juan and Mauricio were fantastic. They understood my wife and kids were hungry and handled our orders quickly. Juan remembered what each one of us ordered and placed the correct plate in front of each person quickly and seamlessly. Incredibly impressive in view of the number of tables he was handling that afternoon/evening and the number of orders he must have taken. The staff at Mulligan’s was incredibly attentive to all of our requests and made it a point to pass by the table on three or four occasions to politely inquire whether everything was going well and whether we wanted additional food or drink. The staff contributed to an overall great dining experience as a result of their tireless efforts. In short, Michael O’Dwyer’s Mulligan’s on the Blue provided great food and great customer service in a courteous, professional and friendly manner. When friends, colleagues and others ask me for a recommendation for a place in Maui with great food and excellent service, I will let them know that they have to get to Mulligan’s on the Blue in Wailea/Kihei.

We went there to see Brenton Keith and his bag O' tricks. The food was great. I had the bangers and mash and my wife had the Shepherd's pie. Both were delicious. If you want to see a high quality magic show, visit this place on Thursday night. We arrived about 5:30 for the 6:30 PM show. Brenton performed close-up magic at patrons tables prior to the show.

We stumbled into Mulligan’s Irish Pub on a Thursday and had no idea we were in for such an incredible night. They host a magic show for only a $10-per-person cover—an absolute steal for the quality of entertainment! We had our 9-year-old with us, who loves magic, and the experience couldn’t have been more perfect. Brent, the magician, not only put on an amazing show but also brought our son into the act and genuinely encouraged his love of magic. It meant so much to us and absolutely made his night. As Brits, we were also seriously impressed with the food—it was awesome—plus the drink prices were great, and the whole place has such a pretty, inviting setting. We could not have loved it more. Highly, highly recommend!

Great patio! Would be a wonderful spot at sunset, we just missed it. We had a large party they were very accommodating.Everyone enjoyed their meal, fish and chips was a fan favorite. Finished with apple pie and ice cream sundaes (both come in shareable portions). Really friendly staff! Our waiter Mauricio was awesome!

Myself and my (BRAND NEW) fiancé Gage went to Mulligan’s only 20 minutes after he proposed to me to watch Brenton Keith’s magic show. My parents in Canada phoned into the restaurant to ask for a bottle of champagne to be sent to our table to celebrate, owner Mike got this sent over straight away from a phone call!! We had the BEST experience watching the magic show and soaking in all of our own magic of the best day ever. Brenton made us feel so special during his magic show and it couldn’t have been a better experience. THANK YOU MIKE, BRENTON & MULLIGAN’S STAFF!!!!!!!

Went on a Sunday. They're very busy as this was the day before St Patrick's day. The shepherd's pie was really good, the top shelf Margarita was a great, and the Caesar dressing on the Caesar salad was amazing 🤌🏼

This was our first visit to Ulua Beach ,but definitely not our last. It has a good amount of parking spaces. Public restrooms, outdoor shower, and everything is very clean. On the north end take a short climb through some trees and you can go into another Beach. Snorkeling was fun with a fair amount of fish to see. We didn't see any turtles today but I'm sure they're out there. Family friendly, small waves. Nice sandy beach.

Great beach for snorkeling! Make sure you arrive there early ! Best time for snorkeling is 7-9 am ! We had no experience with snorkeling and didn’t know about it . Got there around 11 am ! But we still got a glimpse of the reef there despite the choppy water ! Ps they all recommend this beach for snorkeling ! From my observation there is a small beach nearby that is great for snorkeling too. It has no name but it is near boat launch! Water is very calm and it has lots of pencil urchin visible from the shore!

Great place for easy snorkeling. No issues going in or out. The reef begins at shoreline so you will see stuff immediately. I recommend going earlier for quieter experience which usually equals more fish and wildlife. Its attached to a resort so lots of people means less to see by afternoon. Facilities were clean and open to public unlike other beaches nearby. Its also right near Wailea shopping center and Kihei so tons of places to eat afterwards for many budgets.

Soft sandy beach and a great place to catch the sunset. Good snorkeling and several sea turtles in the area. The coral reefs are worth exploring, underwater visibility picks up the further you are from the sands shores.

Our favorite beach for snorkling with our child. The north end of the beach has an easy entrance to the reef compared to other beaches in South shore Maui. On a good day we got to see almost all the fish on the "fish card", and also a sea turtle! Just be sure to keep your distance and don't disturb them!

Good for snorkeling. I can spot Turtle here, Make sure to pick the day that is not too strong wind. Have a public restroom and shower area. There is a lot of parking.

We arrived here following local recommendation and we discovered excellent beach. The beach is so beautiful with an option for shady spots. There is a promenade along the beach along the luxury hotels. The beach is a great place to snorkel. We saw a sea turtle and lots of corals under the water. Highly recommended.

Best experience for snorkelling. Out of the world. Nature’s beauty for visual treat.

As an inexperienced swimmer, I was nervous about snorkeling at Molokini Crater, but it turned out to be an amazing experience! The crew was friendly and professional, providing detailed instructions and all necessary gear. The water was crystal clear, and I quickly felt comfortable thanks to the supportive guides. The marine life was stunning. I saw colorful fish, coral reefs, and even sea turtles. The crew ensured our safety and shared interesting facts about the marine life. The tour was relaxed, allowing plenty of time to explore at my own pace. It’s a fun, memorable adventure with breathtaking underwater views!

Awesome snorkeling. First time as your typical middle age office worker. We went on January, the water was cool but it wasn't too cool. We adjusted to it fine. You need to physically be able to lift yourself up to a stair step just barely in the water to get back onto the boat. I'm north of 220 pounds, and while challenging it was doable. I highly recommend it. We were able to hear what sounded like 1,000s of distant whales in our go-pro videos. Super clear water, so many species of fish. Even saw a seal!

After coming here for snorkeling, we did not find any places around. The only thing I wish for is if there were some restaurants close by or something, because we got really hungry after the trip. I'd definitely suggest to bring some snacks or even pack a big lunch to each on the trip.

Went on an excursion here. Amazing. Never though I would do something like this as I am a bonafied city boy. It was great

Best snorkeling! Four Winds crew was the best! Shout out to Dayton and Ryan!!

Water was crystal clear and calm at the crater when we went. Great way to see Maui coast line.

5/5 great spot. Waves weren’t too crazy even though wind was picking up and we saw turtles while snorkeling!! Two!! Awesome little area although parking is limited.

Did a kayaking excursion with the family to snorkel with sea turtles. We went on a beautiful day. The turtles were everywhere and the whole thing was very fun. Highly recommend scuba or snorkeling out here to see some marine life in crystal clear water.

I am so glad they have improved the road and have added some official street parking spots. The parking lot fills up on busy days, but we generally get a spot. This is a great place to launch a kayak or paddle board. There is an ice little area to hang out, picnic, and swim. Some people like snorkeling over here and we generally see turtles when we go. This is a great place to launch for whale watching during the winter months. Today, we saw a pod of dolphins but it is a little early for whales.

Views were amazing, sand was soft, surf was a bit strong but still worth the visit. Keep in mind that the Cinder trail is not maintained so it's almost impossible to reach the cone and because the small beach is more remote, you're likely spot nude swimmers and sunbathers.

10/10 there was a sea turtle in the water with us & honestly that’s all that matters! Easy snorkeling & calm swimming for kiddos too

Great spot for sunset as well as the other activities. Bring your take out or cook out here for sunset. Good chill spot.

Favorite beach! Nice sunset spot and photogenic location.

Please read prior to booking at this spa.. This was one of the worst massages my husband and I have ever received, and definitely the worst by far for a “luxury” spa. I have had probably 40-50 massages, I’m a regular and often leave massages in a “zen” or meditative state. Unfortunately that was not the case here, during this massage I was extremely uncomfortable and my husband and I both said we wished we would have gotten up and left during the massage. The “technique” they used was horrible or they just had no idea what they were doing. It breaks my heart to write about a persons profession in this way.. but we neither left relaxed or rejuvenated. We did leave with a $600 bill for a service we wouldn’t return to even if it were $50. The massage was even painful at sometimes as they massaged over my bones, applied pressure in uncomfortable places like the front of my ankles, shook my body and applied still pressure in places that did absolutely nothing for me. We are on our honeymoon and have been looking forward to the massage for the entire trip… HUGE letdown. In additional disappointment, we showed up 45 minutes early to enjoy the “amenities”, which were hardly amenities. The steam room was not on and did not get hot and other than that all that was available was a “relaxation room” with lounge chairs & refreshments and showers… I’ve been to spas half the price with better amenities than this one. I have always had no problem paying premium for exceptional experiences, but this was not that. In addition, there was an automatic 20% service charge for gratuity. As someone who worked in service, I am all for tipping… however it should be based on service and in this case, the service was exceptionally terrible.

Lovely hotel. Very close to the ocean. Two beaches on each side. Several pools. Free chocolate every day. Wonderful staff. Lots of small spaces, doesn’t feel huge. Marriott points. Private dinning next to the ocean. 3.5 hours. 7 courses. Pricing about $1,000 a couple. Only a few seatings a week. Check that right off the bucket list.

I had the most wonderful massage with Jessica! I have never had a massage that has felt so customized to me! As a dentist, I deal with lots of aches and pains in my back and shoulders, and Jessica used deeper pressure in the tighter areas to get ALL my knots out, and even followed it up with a soothing muscle reliever cream that continued relaxing my muscles. She was so kind and professional and I highly recommend you request her when you visit the incredible Mandara Spa!

Aki went above and beyond for me to get complete Ambassador Elite Experience! I just flew in from Tokyo after work and was up for 24hours I was very jet lagged and grumpy and she made my stay a lot better. She was very patient with my request exceeding my expectations! This is a great 4 Star hotel! But little things I did not like. This is NOT a beach front hotel! It is a 8 minute walk to actual beach with umbrellas. The outdoor activities opens at 8am! It looks like other hotels close by open earlier. In order to get umbrellas you have to check in at this counter. This hotel is better for pools. There are 6 swimming pools total. 1 adult pool, 1 wellness pool, and 4 family pools. Wellness pool minimum charge for day bed is $200! Rainelle Leval gifted my sister Happy Birthday Gift Basket full of fresh fruit and snacks!!!! I definitely recommend getting a Premium Sundeck Room next to the pool you can just lounge at your room after getting out of the pool!

Summary: expensive, not friendly, extremely hot wax to the point of discomfort, stress inducing, didn’t feel comfortable speaking up, ugly nails with sloppy lines, left feeling horrible and in worse condition Wish I could give this place 0 stars. Came to get an upper lip wax and a polish change This combine was 100 dollars which is absurd for the quality I received. To start, the wax was SUPER hot and I told the woman several times which she never fixed. I’ve had many waxings before and this has never been a problem. The lady was just super unfriendly and lethargic in general. She also didn’t get all the hair which was really stupid because what did I pay for then? Basically spent 50 bucks for some idiot to place burning wax on my face. Then for the polish change I was told she could do french tips which is extremely standard for any salon. Nails came out super messy and looked like she painted with whiteout. The also added an extra 15 bucks for the french tips which I was not aware ahead of time. Again why did I pay for this if I’m going to be charged extra? places shouldn’t offer services they clearly can’t do. I would have rather been turned down then sit through this experience.

Best facial I have ever had! Loved every minute! A lot of money, but worth it!

Today, I had the most exceptional deep tissue massage at Mandara Spa in Maui, all thanks to the amazing massage therapist, Mike. I have visited numerous spas over the years, but my experience at Mandara Spa stands out, largely due to Mike's extraordinary skills and expertise. From the moment I arrived, the calming atmosphere and welcoming staff set the stage for a relaxing and rejuvenating experience. However, it was Mike's masterful touch and the powerful energy he exuded during the deep tissue massage that made this visit truly unforgettable. I'm still feeling the positive effects of the amazing connection we shared throughout the session. Mike's deep tissue massage technique was both effective and precise, targeting all the right spots while ensuring I remained comfortable. His intuition and knowledge of the human body allowed him to address my specific needs, leaving me feeling deeply relaxed and revitalized. In addition to his incredible massage skills, Mike also shared his inspiring knowledge of sound therapy. Though we didn't incorporate sound therapy into the session, his passion and understanding of the subject left a lasting impression on me. I appreciated the opportunity to learn from him, and his insights added an extra layer of depth to the overall experience. If you are looking for an outstanding deep tissue massage and a knowledgeable therapist in Maui, I cannot recommend Mandara Spa and Mike highly enough. He is, without a doubt, the best massage therapist I have ever had the pleasure of working with. I encourage anyone who values exceptional service, skill, and expertise to book a session with Mike.

Our server John provided exceptional service helping us understand the menu. He was very tentative, ensuring we always had water and drinks filled. The food was delicious, the farm to table concept came alive here, offering fresh and local ingredients from around the island. Between the four of us who dined, we shared our food, having the chance to taste more than what we ordered. Highly recommend sharing and here are some highlighted menu options: Grilled Octopus Salad, Coconut Clams, Waygu Hanger, Watermelon Salad (Apps), Risotto, Seared Scallops, Maui Caught Fish (Entrees). I wanted to extend a special thank you to John and Mike for an enjoyable dinner service and experience, the live music from below provide a special touch to an amazing dinner.

A perfect night at the Chef's Table! Service from sommelier, Tia, was stellar, and the entire team in the kitchen took great care of us! The food was all amazing, we loved every dish. Outstanding wine list! Chef's Table or just regular dining, don't miss this place!

We had the most incredible dinner at Ka’ana Kitchen during our honeymoon stay, hands down one of the best meals we’ve ever had. From start to finish, the experience was flawless. Our server John deserves a huge shout-out, he was warm, attentive, and genuinely passionate about the menu. He made us feel so welcome and guided us perfectly through our selections. His recommendations were spot-on! We ordered the Wagyu steak and the chef’s choice fish, and both were absolutely phenomenal. Every bite was beautifully balanced, rich, fresh, and full of flavor. You can tell the kitchen puts so much thought and care into each dish. The atmosphere was elevated yet relaxed, and it truly captured that Maui magic, intimate, open, and full of aloha. If you’re visiting the island, Ka’ana Kitchen is an absolute must. Thank you again to John and the entire team for making our evening unforgettable! 🌺🍷✨

Excellent dinner and we received good service from David. Food was served promptly and plates removed as we finished. Eclectic menu and a good wine selection. Beet salad was sweet with crispy kale. The wagyu striploin was good but not extraordinary. The moonfish was in a slightly spicy sauce.

Excellent! Been coming to Maui for years and always a bit disappointed with the food, but this place was the one! Yes, it’s on the pricey side, but with the setting and location, I expect that. Food, drinks, service all worth the 5 stars! We will be back next time on the island!

The atmosphere is amazing. We enjoyed the breakfast buffet and it was delicious. The staff is so kind and sweet. Both the hostess at the front and our server were amazing . Last thing my coffee. It was so great. They were amazing and such a great part of our experience. Worth every dollar!

From the moment we walked in and were greeted warmly by the hostess, we knew it would be a special night. The glow of the small lamps on each table on the patio and the music coming from down below added to the ambiance. Our waiter John had great cocktail suggestions as well as wine pairings with our meal. We started by sharing the Caesar salad with tuna- delish! Then on to the pasta with lobster and over the top lamb shank. Could not finish it all. The manager Matt came by and we appreciated the conversation. Great meal- recommend highly.

Excellent experience. Our team tha took us out was great. We had Sule and Ivan. Sule was an excellent steersman and full of great knowledge. We saw spinner dolphins, turtles, hawiian monk seal and got to swim. We will absolutely book again with We paddle Maui and you should tooooo!!

We had a fantastic time on our first kayak adventure because of Paddle On! Maui and especially Peg. She was absolutely amazing and took the best care of us. She went out of her way to get us in last week before our return home. We were unable to keep our original time and day due to an unforeseen issue. She made it happen for us. Peg is a lovely lady and also gave us recommendations of places to eat, things to do, and even where was best to stay. She made this trip amazing for us, and I can't say that enough. I absolutle recommend Paddle On! Maui and Peg for any ocean activity. She is an absolute professional!

From the moment we connected with Peg at Paddle On! Maui, we knew we were in for a treat - and she didn't disappoint! From the ease of registration, the information Peg provided ahead of our scheduled tour, to the awesome instruction, coaching, and guiding she did, we had an absolutely incredible time! During our paddleboarding and snorkeling experience, she kept us safe, informed, and entertained. As she learned more about our skill levels (or lack thereof :) ), she adjusted how she helped each of us in our small group of three get the most out of the experience. After we finished up, she then provided great recommendations on things to do in/around the area, providing a terrific list of restaurants and attractions for consideration. If you are looking for a professional, friendly, informative experience on Maui, rest assured that Peg and Paddle On! Maui will get it done! Thanks Peg, you rock!

This was such an incredible experience! It was my first time on a paddleboard, and I was honestly nervous even to try—but Peg was amazing. She coached me through every step and had me standing before I knew it! The setting was beautiful, and after paddle boarding we went snorkeling and saw so many fish—and even had a turtle swim right underneath us. To top it all off, Peg ended the tour with a surprise “Party on the Ocean,” which was absolutely delightful! An unforgettable morning on the water in Maui and a wonderful confidence boost for someone who’s usually a little scared of the ocean. Highly recommend!

We had a great time with Paddle On! Maui!. We loved having Peg and John as our guides. It was a wavy day in Maui but Peg made it work for us and we all were able to get some paddle boarding in. John continuously entertained our girls on the paddle boards and Peg was a great teacher with all the mechanics. I'm so happy we were able to get it in for our trip because the waves only got stronger at the tail end days of our trip.

Cannot recommend more highly!!! Peg was absolutely great to work with. As a first time paddleboarder and snorkeler I was in great hands! If it is your first time, and especially if you are hesitant, go ahead and contact Peg at PaddleOnMaui- she will have you enjoying the ocean in no time. I experienced turtles and fish while snorkeling and had great instruction on the board. Thanks Peg!

Had such a great time with Peg, did an amazing paddle board and snorkel adventure. Was able to see lots of turtles and pickup some good tips and tricks on paddle boarding. Peg was an awesome guide during the whole experience and made sure that my wife and I were comfortable the entire trip!

High hopes met with a big let down! Mediocre food experience in Wailea met with a clumsy night of service. Service: My partner and I had one of the only open reservations at Lineage which was at the bar. I was greeted outside with a friendly face and promptly shown to my seat after being checked in. At the beginning of service a server dropped a glass at the end of the bar. In trying to clean up the shattered glass he dropped a second glass that shattered everywhere. A different server (bartender) dropped our porcelain soup spoon which shattered on the floor as well. This time, I watched the bartender rinse her hand for all of two seconds before making drinks again. I mean, it’s really quite simple - if you touch the dirty floor then wash your hands with soap and warm/hot water for at minimum 30 seconds. It helps prevent customers from getting sick. This did not happen!! During one of the courses my partner was given a clean plate and set of silverware, but this did not happen for any of the other courses. A manager was helping clear a table where a young family with many small kids dropped napkins, and food, all over the floor. The manager put floor napkins onto the table top. One word: gross. A server, yes, did wipe the table down, but used all of a whisper of sanitizer. Why take the risk of transferring germs onto the table and possibly get people sick? Poor practices that are aimed at quick table turnover and do not prioritize safe practices. Upon leaving, you have to exit near the kitchen and a server bustling out of the kitchen nearly crashed into me trying to leave. Whoever designed the restaurant made a mistake by putting the entrance and exit door right by the kitchen. This is a disaster waiting to happen! The hosts said goodbye to me but when my partner came out separately he was totally ignored. Overall, what I’m aiming to point out is the service was clumsy and ensconced with poor health practices. Atmosphere: The indoor dining area is rather intimate. Dim lights, sleek surfaces warmed with a lot of wood tones. The chairs at the bar were comfortable. Keep in mind, the night of my dinner there were several families with small kids, but I found the restaurant to be quite loud. Listening to kids scream and cry throughout service took away from enjoying the venue and dinner. I quickly strolled through one of the art galleries that was still open after my meal. When making my way back I passed by the restaurant to see the host sitting down smoking a vape pen. There’s a lot of little details that just went wrong during my visit. These details make cheapen the experience and feel of the restaurant. Food: I ordered three courses: the ox tail soup, garlic noodles, and fried cauliflower. The food did not resonate with me. I found the presentation of the soup to be wonderful, but lacking balance. The bread was served on a wooden dish that served as a lid for the soup. The broth was incredibly sweet and could have been balanced with some heat. There was a lot of free floating fat in the dish which I did not enjoy with each bite of the oxtail. I did find the meat to be very tender! I feel there was a missed opportunity for a reveal. You have a lid that gets taken off at the table, so it might be a wow moment if the soup was lightly smoked - serving more of an aromatic versus flavor for the soup. The garlic noodles were definitely oozing with garlic flavor, but were rather dry. The tiny bit of sprouts on the top were undetectable once mixed in and added next to nothing to the dish. Again, I feel this course was lacking balance. Garlic without the balance of salt, heat, acid, or fat is one note and boring. The cauliflower was tempura fried on the florets, covered in a curry sauce and topped with what they call a peanut salsa. The tempura batter was everything you’d want it to be - light and crisp. But the rest of the dish fell short. The curry was a mediocre red curry you could find at any average Thai restaurant. Sadly, I would not recommend this restaurant if you’re looking for an upscale meal.

This was our favorite meal on Maui. The crispy cauliflower was incredible- I'd come back and just have this as my entree. It was so crispy and so nice with the melty onions and sauce. A close runner up was the Bird's Nest. I wouldn't have chosen this on my own but my friend ordered it and again, the textures and flavors were memorable. Also on order were the liangban salad, and garlic noodles. Both solid dishes to accompany the aforementioned two. Lineage definitely makes the return visit list.

The food is very good, the freshness of the ingredients elevates the flavor! The crispy cauliflower had a nice crunch and sauce. The oyster mushrooms and vegetables birds nest was amazing, with all the fresh veggies and the curried sauce. The garlic noodles had great flavor. The pandan bread pudding was very rich, and the key lime ice cream was a nice accompaniment which helped cut through the buttery richness of the pudding.

Outstanding I definitely give them 10 thumbs up. Great experience excellent customer service. Food was phenomenal. Everything was so good. Our host was the best. (Please forgive me I forgot his name) Definitely a must go!!!! So please stop by and show them some love!!!!!

The best restaurant we went to in Maui! The fried chicken (no glaze) was incredible, as well as the garlic noodles. Also the pickles were really well crafted. Would definitely go back!

this is our second time here and both experiences have been absolutely phenomenal. The food is incredible and the cocktails are out of this world. A huge shout out to our server, Drew! He was so helpful and knowledgeable and just sincerely one of the best servers we’ve ever had.

What a great experience. We sat at the bar and the bartender Elmer was incredibly attentive and a great host. Definitely try a couple of the cocktails. The lobster noodles were insane and so was the cauliflower. 10 out of 10 will be back next time!

A beautiful church. The grounds are kept immaculately. There are some very old graves here, to go along with the old very well cared for church. Beautiful flowering trees. There was wedding happening while we were visiting, so beautiful ❤️

This little church is an absolute must see. Built in 1832 and made from volcanic ash.

One of the most beautiful churches and locations. Pay attention to signs and don’t step on graves.

Historical church and grounds. The cemetery is very old and provides a look back in history.

I did not attend the service here, but just visited the grounds, cemetery and church building - beautiful location.

Beautiful church set in tropical setting. Went to Easter service and very welcoming people. Pastor gave a very nice service and the singers were awesome. Thank you for making our Easter even more special.

This sweet little old church is one of our favorite places on earth. Whenever we’ve been lucky enough to be in Maui, we look forward to the warm aloha we always receive at Keawala’i. 🌺

A beautiful beach to relax, and enjoy the great vibes of this island. Any time of the day is good due to great weather. Sunsets are beautiful as well. Night walking on the beach was amazing under bright moonlight and star gazing.

It's a nice beach but there are a decent number of large rocks in and around the beach and in the water. Not really the best water play beach, and there's also a TON of foot traffic. It must be a popular walking beach for residents because it's a non stop parade of people walking back and forth. Can also get windy here. But also at other times it can be deserted. Very pretty beach too with a great view towards West Maui. The south end is a great snorkel spot as it shares the rocky point with Ulua, one of the best snorkeling spots in South Maui.

Beautiful beach that is well maintained.

Calm, clear water in the morning with some of the best snorkeling. Lots of fish and turtles. A short walk from the parking lot and shower facilities. Came at 8 am on a weekday with no one around. By 12 there were lots of swimmers but still pleasant. One of my favorite spots on the west side.

Beautiful but windy, lots of rocks in the water

Lovely spot. Not too busy in the morning!!

Lovely beach, in front of the Andaz Maui. Used by guests of the hotel and locals alike. Beautiful views of West Maui mountains and Lanai from the Beach. Amazing sunsets just about every night. Great snorkeling right off the beach, plenty of marine life.

Ulua Beach is an excellent place to snorkel on Maui. We've tried many of the different places over the years ( Black Rock, Ahihi, Turtle Town, Airport Beach, Po'olenalena, MM14, Charley Young Beach, Kam 1-3 and others); Ulua beach is our new favorite. As shown in the picture, there is a large reef ( red circle ) to snorkel along with a distinct edge / drop off where you can see tons of coral, fish, sea urchins ( black, red, zebra striped ) as well as turtles with some regularity. There is public parking ( blue and purple lines ), clean bathrooms, and a nice outdoor shower for rinsing off the salt water. If you are in the Kihei or Wailea area and want to snorkel, this is a great place to do it.

Ulua Beach Park in Maui is a tropical paradise that offers a perfect blend of natural beauty and recreational opportunities. The crescent-shaped beach boasts soft, golden sand and crystal-clear waters, making it an ideal spot for swimming, snorkeling, and sunbathing. The marine life here is remarkable; you can spot colorful fish and even sea turtles while snorkeling. The park is well-maintained with picnic areas and showers, making it family-friendly. The scenic backdrop of palm trees and lava rocks adds to the charm. Whether you're a water sports enthusiast or just seeking relaxation, Ulua Beach Park is a must-visit on your Maui itinerary.

A lot of small fishes and baby sea urchins by the rock. If you are lucky, big sea turtle may dhow up too!

Ulua beach is located in Wailea. It is one of the few beaches from the Maui’s west coast were you have a chance to find a parking place in the free parking area near the right side of the beach. I think that this beach is usually used by the tourists that live in the big condos complex nearby having their cars parked in front of the condos. The beach is long (300 meters) and large enough so it is not crowded. The right side is very good for snorkeling but when there are no waves. There is an extended reef about 100 m off the shore, but the water over the reef is shallow and snorkeling could be dangerous even were the waves do not appear to be too big. Also there is a traverse current pushing you to the right towards the emerged rocks that are limiting the right side of Ulua beach. In that day there were disturbing waves so we tried to snorkel only on the left side of the reef were the water was deep enough. We had two rounds of snorkeling (about 2.5 hours in total) but we struggled al the time against the lateral pushing current and it is not quite a peaceful snorkel time. Also the water was not very clear. Not so many fish but an interesting underwater landscape. On my snorkeling marking scale in that day the score for Ulua Beach were 4 from a maximum of 5 point. In good weather conditions it cut be a 4.5 snorkeling area.

Very nice beach for swimming, lounging and views of Maui. We heard sea turtles can be spotted here but did not see any when we visited. There are some trees for cover from the sun if you need.

One of our favorite beaches in Maui. The sand on the West side is very nice, the beach has shade and it is a great place to snorkel as well.

Great snorkelling. The parking lot is large but it does fill up. There are plenty of people coming and going that helps. The rest rooms are clean. The beach is beautiful and the water clear. This beach is safe for all ages with small waves.

Just a little over a year ago. I got proposed to! I will forever cherish this place in my heart! The golden hour at this beach is phenomenal. The beach itself was super clean, and it was rocky in some areas. Overall, this is the perfect place to relax, watch the sunset, get proposed to, or even married at! Enjoy this beautiful place!

Our family's favorite beach. Very pleasant, quiet beach with nice sand, great swimming, and snorkeling off of rocky points. Not crowded and some shade.

Not so busy, good for swimming, snorkel. Some trees for the shade. Plenty of parking , no shower , honey buckets only

See pictures. Free parking semi-paved. 1Bathroom, No foot wash station, not wheelchair accessible. Small beach semi -clear water.

Hawaii owes me NUTHINNN-AH! Kona, TheBigIsland, and Maui delivered pristine ocean views, hikes up and down majestic mountains, beautiful sunsets, fascinating botanicals and wildlife, mind-blowing excursions (night snorkeling with manta rays tops them all!), breathtaking scenery, sweet hand-picked fruit, deeeelicious coffee, authentic tea tasting, memorable AirBnBs, therapeutic shopping, much-needed #restandrelaxation, more cockadoodledoos 🐓🐓🐓 than I can count...ALLODAT and more!

I love this beach! Beautiful mountain/island on the horizon. If you are there early enough, there are several spots with natural shade by trees. More than a few turtles were seen while we were there. No facility to speak of.

Beach taken over by people smoking weed and partying. Sad to see such a beautiful beach trashed up.

My sons treated me to a spa afternoon at the Four Seasons on Maui for my birthday, and it was absolutely wonderful! The 80 minute massage by Asia was fantastic! She is strong and intuitive about where I needed. My facial by Lauren was definitely the best one I've ever had!! This spa is definitely worth the status and name associated with The Four Seasons world wide resorts.

I want to start by saying that this is reflective of the current state of the spa during renovations. The Good: my wife and I experienced the 80 minute Lomi couples massage, and the experience was amazing. We felt amazing afterwards, and the therapists made sure to verify the right pressure and focus areas before and during the massage. The staff was all super friendly before, during, and after the experience. We enjoyed the wellness juice shot at the end as well. When your eyes are closed, a massage is a massage regardless of the scenery! The OK: the Four Seasons is doing the best with what they have. There’s only so many spaces that can be used during a renovation. We weren’t fully prepared for the “move to the sixth floor” being cleared out hotel rooms. The changing rooms were just completely empty rooms with small stalls to change, the waiting lounge was two conjoined rooms, and the massage room was the same. You get access to Therabody items, though just instructed to look at the user manuals and set them up yourself. The Bad: we were told over the phone that we would have access to a cold plunge and dry sauna. During our experience it was never mentioned or offered. The “waiting lounge” only had three massage chairs. If a couple is using the chairs, another couple is out of luck. The only refreshments were detox water, lukewarm tea, dried fruit, and a trail mix. We deferred our welcome prosecco to after the massage, but we had to ask twice afterwards before any showed up. The experience in addition to the massage, which I’m sure will be lovely when the renovation is done, was severely lacking at the moment. All in all, as guests of the spa who were NOT staying on property, the experience was disappointing. While the massage was as good as we’ve had, we missed out on the experience that usually comes with a massage of this caliber.

Nella my massage therapist was amazing and loved the option of an oceanside massage hale. One star deducted as mentioned in other reviews - aside from showers, relaxation/waiting room and a steam room there are not many other amenities. I was staying at the Four Seasons so I lounged by the pool until 30 min before my appointment but unless you’re seeking air conditioning (or LOVE a steam room), you only need time to check in and change before your appointment.

i used to love the four seasons, but recent experience at the spa for NAD therapy was awful. i was not notified of the major renovations, and that they’d be doing my treatment in a makeshift hotel room / facility. actually, i was told it would be a day of “self-care” with additional free cryotherapy and sauna. no — it was extremely expensive and not a good experience. kind of fee scammed based on what i was told on the phone. highly regret the money spent.

I got a 50 min lomilomi massage and came early to get changed in their robe and slippers. I used their lockers and then waited in the waiting area for my masseuse to come get me. When he greeted me, he was very friendly. He walked me back to the room and explained where to put my belongings and where to hang my robe etc. He left the room then I took my jewelry off, disrobed and lay face down on the massage bed. The room was small, cozy and basic but comfortable for my massage. I specifically asked for louder music as I don’t want to hear steps or air conditioning or people in the hallway… but the music still could have been louder. The massage itself was heavenly, his hands were strong and he took the time to make sure I was comfortable. 50 minutes just isn’t enough! I especially loved the finishing touches of a foot scrub. That was perfection! After my massage, he gave me some water and some Hawaiian snacks. I then went back to the change room and had a nice hot shower and took my time getting ready. Their facilities are beautiful and I wanted to enjoy it as I paid so much for the massage! What a wonderful way to end my trip in Maui!

I absolutely love the Four Seasons Spa. Laura Stephens, Lala as we call her, is my favorite body worker. Plus she’s doing facials now, so it’s an absolutely wonderful blend of face care with body rejuvenation. I leave feeling like a new woman!

My wife and I honeymooned at FS Maui and got a couples massage. The property is currently under some construction, so our massages took place on the 6th floor is an empty hotel room - and as some other reviews have alluded to, the only real amenities in the actual Spa are steam room and showers (would've loved to have a sauna). All of that being said, the massages were incredible. I fell asleep during mine which, in my opinion, is the highest compliment a masseuse can get. Would go back in a heart beat for another massage!

When we signed up for this we were a bit uncertain about whether it would be worth it for the price. But this turned out to be an absolutely wonderful and unique experience!! Our guide Lowe was so attentive to safety but was also very skilled at teaching us what to do and she took tons of amazing photos. My eleven year old daughter said it was her favorite part of our entire trip to Maui. And the photos are an incredible bonus that we will treasure forever along with the memories!

My daughter kept telling me she wanted a mermaid tail to swim with, so when we saw Maui Mermaid Adventures advertised we knew it was the perfect birthday present for our 6 year old little mermaid. Heather was an awesome guide, very knowledgeable about the local flora and fauna. The location she took us to was beautiful. My daughter was a little nervous at first but in no time she was attempting her own dives and doing saumersaults with her fin. Her success can largely be credited to Heather’s calm, confident approach and ability to create a safe and fun learning environment. As an adult I had fun seeing how far in could down and how long I could swim with the fin. And the pictures turned out awesome! Highly recommend!

After a week in Hawaii seeing and doing amazing things, I was afraid this experience might not be up to par. How wrong I was as this was the most fun thing my 7 and 9 year old did all week! Caitlin was great with the girls, took time to explain, and had a lot of patience. The location was fantastic and again Caitlin was very safe and observant with the girls in the water as they know how to swim but aren’t great swimmers yet. One quit early but it didn’t detract from the other’s experience. Great photos and a lot of them which is always a plus for my wife. She took them snorkeling and they finally got to see a turtle which had been elusive the entire trip to that point. The two hours she spent with the girls allowed us some time to relax and just enjoy the morning. Finally, the value was by far worth it! We had a private lesson with Caitlin in the ocean that was less than our resort was charging for a group class in the pool.

Lila is a beautiful soul. A true mermaid. Her love and connection to the ocean and her passion for the Hawaiian islands is a wonderful treasure to share. Our mermaid swim was spectacular. A perfect day in the bay populated with sea turtles and marine life, the experience of navigating the reef and waters as a mermaid was among the best and most memorable on my visit to Maui. There is nothing like gliding through the pristine Hawaiian waters with the flick of your tail, as a mermaid. The photos of my mermaid swim are ethereal and capture the tranquil beauty and memory of this otherworldly adventure. Thank you Lila. What an amazing experience. Xx

Painting Mermaids for all to see, enjoy & purchase. Sand Dollars, Shell art & much more. Also on Central Coast of Oregon. Mahalo 🤙🏼 Tourist what better way to see everything that Maui offers than through a knowledgeable tour guide. Make the most of your time. MAUI NOKA OI 🤙🏼🏖️👣🍍🩴🌺🧜🏼🏝️✌🏼

I thought Mermaid Emily was amazing. She checked everyone in, set everyone up with the correct mermaid tail and gave clear instructions, taught about care of the ocean, took pictures of each participant doing various poses or swimming, and taught the participants how to snorkel. The only negative was that there were three women who were there to help and did absolutely nothing; they could have helped speed things along, by signing in the participants, handing out the correct mermaid tail, help to get mermaid tail on and make sure it fit (some needed different sizes). Mermaid Emily did EVERYTHING so it seems she could have been freed up a little to work with the mermaids.

My 7 year old saved up her allowance and purchased this adventure for herself. We can not say enough about how amazing it was! We did a private lesson at Makena Beach and the photos are spectacular (and included!!). The lesson on conservation was much appreciated and my daughter loved snorkeling with the tail on. She is an average swimmer for her age and had no problems with the tail. 100% worth it and I have been recommending it to everyone.

A great wide and long beach. It’s very picturesque and was super quiet when we visited in early February. There were some waves when we were here so it wasn’t great for snorkeling but we still saw a turtle near the shore.

Best beach I visited in Maui. Good waves for body boards and body surfing. Turtles are right around the corner too. Just go around the southern rocks and reef to see them. They even come to the beach if you don’t want to snorkel.

People are super friendly. They have a drum circle to the right, through the rocks. Then they have fire twirling at night to the left.

I love this beach! Snorkel in the wild with the turtles! Beautiful sandy beaches. Nude beach parties(hike to the right to find the nude beach) fire dancers, you never know what you might experience.

One of the beaches that I love to video call my friends and family from. There are beautiful lava rock formations along the beach, on the far north end of Changs Beach is a semi secluded paradise the locals call Secret Beach. Similar to Little Beach, there may be nude sunbathers soaking in the rays. Plenty of parking inside the gate and often people park outside the gate if they plan to stay after sunset as the gate gets locked by 8pm. There is one porto-poty inside the entrance. The parking lot is all gravel and quite unlevel. There are plenty of trees and greenery all over so you can find shade for all those fair skinned beauties. The sunsets are magnificent and unforgettable at this location. I believe that is what draws the newlyweds and their photographer here daily. Picture postcard perfect.

This beach is pretty quiet compared to the others. The waves are great for body surfing and boogies boarding. And snorkeling in the morning you can usually see lots of turtles!

If you're looking for turtles this is the only place I ever saw them while snorkeling--and I saw 20, maybe more... I went at 8 am. Start at the south end, go out a few hundred feet following the rock/coral boundary and you will see a million of them!

Incredible for snorkeling and swimming with sea turtles. We literally saw 14 sea turtles during about 2 hrs of snorkeling

(Translated by Google) Turtle paradise. Some are chilling on Turtle Beach to the right, and some are swimming. You don't need a boat or a tour. Just go there, spend some time, snorkel, and you'll find one.... (Original) Schildkröten Paradies. Einige chillen am Turtle Strand rechts und einige schwimmen. Man braucht kein Boot oder eine Tour. Ei fach hinfahren, Zeit verbringen, schnorcheln und man findet eine....

If you like to snorkel with 200 other people, this is the place for you. I would not go out of my way to visit turtle town. There are plenty of other beaches that are much more accessible and have more plentiful marine life.

BIG BEACH: The sand is soft and white, with lots of square footage so it never feels crowded. The waves are generally big which is great for body/boogie boarding but not for anything else. If you haven't gotten slammed by a wave here, you've never experienced Big Beach lol! It's fun to watch the bodyboarders do tricks and catch waves. There are lifeguards on duty now, thankfully. Shade on the sand is non-existent though there are a few tables under the thorny kiawe trees but it's a bit far from the water. LITTLE BEACH: This is more than just a clothing optional beach. It's also home to a growing number of bongo drummers, dancers, and their audience, especially on Sundays when it can get very crowded come the afternoon. Sunset brings cheers and applause. It's very secluded due to difficult access. It's a short, steep hike up a rocky gravel trail with a gorgeous view of Big Beach at the top. The white sand beach is well protected from winds due to the volcanic cone it abuts to. The water is super clear, the sea floor has soft sand and clear of loose rocks. The view is killer! Kahoolawe, Molokini, and Lanai are in plain view. There are 2 reefs on both ends of the beach but snorkeling is not recommended. Waves are normally medium sized but can get pretty big and choppy depending on conditions. It's good for swimming and great for body/boogie boarding. There are no lifeguards here. TIP: The only restrooms are the port-a-potties near the parking lot and there are no showers. OVERALL: Great for boogie/bodyboarding and people-watching.

Aka-Big Beach. Nice beach with lots of room to spread out. When it's windy though, the sand striking your body doesn't feel pleasant. $10 per car + $5 per person to hangout here, it was worth it (there is a pay station that accepts cc's). The surf can be a little rough but certainly manageable for water activity. Bring your snorkel gear, there is coral reef you may want to explore.

A beautiful beach - unfortunately we could spend only 30 minutes as it was on the last day of our trip in Maui. Water was beautiful - good spot for swimming and lifeguards were present. We were fortunate to see a seal. It costs 10$ to park and 5$ per person. Public porta potty restrooms available.

Stunning beach with ultra clear blue water. If you're visiting in the January/ February time, you're almost guaranteed to see humpback whales 1-2 miles off shore. Beautiful place to spend the day and forget about everything

Beautiful beach. Short walk from the parking lot. Porta potties near the parking lot. Currently costs $10 per car and $5 per person to park. You can use the parking app to pay or use the kiosk.

The big beach is gorgeous but the waves there are very strong. It’s good for surfers, but if you want to have a swim, go to the little beach next to it.

Makena State Park offers a stunning stretch of beach with clear blue waters and golden sand. It's a peaceful spot, especially compared to more crowded areas like Kihei. There’s a $10 parking fee and $5 per person entry, but the quiet, expansive beach and beautiful views make it worth it. The waves can be strong, so be cautious, especially with children. Be sure to check out the nearby Little Beach for a more private, clothing-optional experience.

Beautiful and perfect if you are not a big ocean swimmer and prefer to just lay and watch the waves. Also beautiful for a sunset and/or evening beach photos. If you like to swim in the ocean but afraid of big, aggressive waves, then this may not be the spot for you. The orange flag was waving the day we visited. The lifeguard came over the intercom announcing to be cautious due to previous injuries that include spinal injuries.

Great beach to go to. Take a chair and umbrella to sit and a nice long beach to walk. There is also places for shade. Take your food and drinks. Nothing there to buy.

As the name suggests, Big Beach is very spacious, around 0.5 miles long. The sand is soft and great for relaxing. Swimming can be done as well, but only in the right conditions. This beach is known for creating huge, unexpected waves, so only intermediate to strong swimmers should be swimming here.

Makena Beach in Maui is hands down the most beautiful beach I've ever visited. The moment you set foot on the soft, white sands, you're immediately struck by the pristine, untouched beauty of this natural paradise. The beach stretches out seemingly endlessly, offering plenty of space to find your own little slice of heaven. The waters at Makena Beach are simply incredible. Crystal clear and a stunning shade of turquoise, they invite you in for a swim that’s both refreshing and invigorating. The gentle waves make it perfect for swimming, whether you're a seasoned swimmer or just looking to wade in and enjoy the cool water. On a sunny day, the water sparkles like a thousand diamonds, making it almost impossible to resist. The surrounding scenery is equally breathtaking. Lush green vegetation provides a picturesque backdrop, and the distant view of the other Hawaiian islands adds to the sense of tropical paradise. The beach is well-maintained, and its natural beauty is preserved, creating an unspoiled haven for visitors. What made my time at Makena Beach truly special was the overall atmosphere. It’s serene and peaceful, allowing you to completely unwind and soak in the natural beauty. Whether you’re swimming in the clear waters, lounging on the soft sands, or simply taking a leisurely stroll along the shoreline, every moment at Makena Beach feels like a dream. Overall, Makena Beach offers an unforgettable experience with its pristine waters, white sands, and breathtaking scenery. It’s the perfect spot for swimming, relaxing, and enjoying the incredible natural beauty of Maui. I can’t recommend it enough – Makena Beach is a must-visit for anyone looking to experience one of the most beautiful beaches in the world.

Amazing beach! Super clear water, soft sand, some shade from the trees, pretty empty with only a few people around. The waves are big! No joke! So be careful going in & out of the water. I saw a few people snorkeling further out & some people surfing. The state park has a $10 parking fee but we drove a bit past the parking lot & parked on the side of the road for free. This beach is super chill & relaxing & was one of our favorite beaches in Maui! Definitely check it out

Rough beach with strong waves and on-duty lifeguards. Best enjoyed from the shore unless you're a strong swimmer. The sunsets are spectacular! One can also park outside the beach entrance as there are many spots.

It’s a nice beach, less crowded and lot of room to tent/relax. Not a safe one to swim and have fun in water. Just a second you might end up in serious spinal cord or neck injuries. Make sure to read the warning sign in the beach entrance, it lists everything you might see/experience. There’s paid parking that includes your entrance fee as well, no shower in the beach so plan accordingly. Sunset is beautiful.

Super great crew out of A bay! Fun experience for my kids first time doing some serious snorkeling! Highly recommend!

Amazing must-do experience! This was a super fun experience and perfect for all ages. We went with our young kids and our 80 year old parents. Everyone loved it. We actually even came on the wrong day and they were so kind and still took us out! Captain and crew were very informative and we saw lots of beautiful fish on the reef. We will definitely do it again. I highly recommend checking them out.

Nick and crew were great for our snorkeling trip. It was a three hour trip and in the three hours 1 hour of actual snorkeling which was plenty. Provided lunch and drinks while on the boat as well as equipment. On the way to the snorkeling spot Nick talked about the fish you could see while out there and answered any questions you may have. Kainalu was out in the water while snorkeling to make sure all participants were safe. Amazing time and staff.

Spent a wonderful afternoon at their cabanas on Waikoloa beach. Then went on the sunset cruise out of Kawaihae with Cpt. Kaliko, Nick, and Gishi and watched the best sunset I think I have ever seen.

We have been using Ocean Sports for 10 years now and they never disappoint. Always seem to find wildlife, take special requests, and champagne at sunset is a plus. Highly recommended.

I truly loved experiencing whale watching with Ocean sports so much so I went twice in 3 days!! They are truly stellar professionals and their team are all just so warm and wonderful. I had such a great time learning about whales from DJ and having some unexpected early am boozy mai tai’s from Tyler. They respect the whales and never impact their natural behaviors yet they get you to see all the great stuff happening out on the waters. You also get to hear the whales with their hydrophone. Truly spectacular outfit and the boat is clean and fully stocked with all beverages and nice snacks. Book with them and expect a memorable time!

My wife and I had a great time on the snorkeling trip. The captain and crew were super friendly. I had so much fun learning about the sea life. They provided lunch and drinks and a great atmosphere.

Beautiful almost private beach. There are 2 entrances to the beach. North side has limited street parking and drop off point. South side has parking and walkway to the beach. Also Restroom and Showers located on the south side. North and south side are connected via walkway of the hotel. Great place to watch sunset. Soft white sand all throughout. Snorkeling reefs on the north side.

Very cool little beach. Not nearly as crowded as other beaches nearby. Offers great snorkeling, sunbathing and some shade is also available. Only 4 parking spots at drop off point. However there is public parking a block up the hill across from the church with public restrooms. Its a very short 1 min walk to beach. Its best to drop your stuff at the drip spot, park car and walk down. Sandy beach is 50 yards from drop spot. Aloha!

Some great snorkeling! There has never been a trip that I have gone or I have not seen a turtle at Maluaka. The swimming is just awesome! The beach is wonderful and the surrounding area is just beautiful! Love it here and will always come back to it! ♥️♥️

Beautiful beach where you can see the turtles and easy parking spots. You can sit on the lawn in the shadow, so perfect for the beach lovers and the ones who love to sit in the shade!

Great beach for snorkeling. There's always a big chance of seeing a bunch of turtles 🐢🐢 A Hawaiian monk seal was resting on the shore! Also, nice view to the west side of Maui, Molokini crater and Lanai island.

Late August and not too busy. Sandy bottom ocean with easy access swimming. Some shade trees, grassy areas, and bathrooms nearby.

Beautiful public beach with bathrooms and changing rooms at the start of the path to the beach. It's about a 5 minute walk to the beach itself. Expect soft powder sand and some waves. I didn't get to see turtles which is why I visited this beach. Maybe next time.

Gorgeous beach with steps down from limited parking area. Quiet. Hard to find. Not good for swimming.

Beautiful beach but as one other reviewer put it, you must respect the waves. Be careful with children! My son and I stepped a few feet into the water when a large wave came and nearly swept him away had I not been holding his hand tight. I still have nightmares about it and this was several years ago. Please be careful.

Lovely beach, not many people during our visit. Nice walk along the beach leading to the little beach, which is also very nice!

10$ for the car 5$ per person Worth mentioning

Awesome calm spot with amazing underwater views

Nice Beach

(Translated by Google) very big beach The waves are high and it’s super fun! (Original) すごい大きいビーチ 波が高くて超楽しい！

Absolutely loved this beach. Beach volleyball, drum circle, fire show, and sunset!! Life couldn’t be any better on a Sunday night here

Best beach on Maui to me. Beautiful from end to end and the waves are usually peaceful here. No lifeguard on duty so if in doubt don't go out! The Maui Cookie cookie cart is here on Sundays but check their Instagram page to be sure. There's a porta potty in the parking lot and at the far south end a shower but that's it. The far north end of the beach around the rocks is clothing optional so be warned and informed ⛱️🏖️🍑🍒😆😊

This is such a great beach and very very calm waters. We decided to do my mother in laws vow renewal photos here because of it's beautiful waters and sand. This is also such a nice place to just sit back and relax, I would love to come back one day.

Big beach in the Wailea area that’s great for swimming and relaxing in the sun. Small reef and snorkeling spot along the rocks, but not really the main attraction of the beach.

Beautiful! Watch the sunset here. It's amazing. There is a clothing optional beach right next to it too if that's something your into!

We loved this beach. Came on a very calm day and the kids had fun playing in the small waves and there was hardly anyone here.

Great for families. Amazing sand. Calm water. Abundant wildlife in the water along the reef.

Great selection of items at affordable prices. I didn’t plan it this way but the Lee Oululani Plevney bowl I bought from the shop is the perfect compliment to the dwarf schefflera Hawaiian lava plant I bought next door at Dan’s Green House. The grooves in the pottery and the root structure of the bonsai flow nicely together. Now I will have a little piece of Hawaii sitting in my desk.

Very nice people, beautiful selection of hand made crafts and jewelry. I bought a fish hook necklace while on vacation here and a couple months later part of the string came apart. I emailed them about it, they offered to have it repaired or send a similar item in replacement. I picked the replacement and they sent it quickly. Excellent communication and service from being in the store to being 2500 miles away. Highly recommended.

Wonderful little shop in Lahaina! We went in one day before closing and looked around, then came back the next day because we kept thinking about a few pieces we just had to have. The shop was so welcoming, and the employees were extremely knowledgeable on the artists' work in the store. We picked up some gifts for family (and a few things for ourselves too 😁) The items in this shop were unique, unlike things I saw in any of the other shops.

Bonnie is wonderful, and it is everything you want in an artisans gallery. Knowledgeable of the items and the stories behind the art that created them, and knowing the artist’s story and intention. Well worth the trip!

This is a lovely little shop with wonderful local artist work. A very friendly staff here as well. If you are looking for a great souvenir and don't want the usually tacky stiff sound in most gift shops pay them a visit.

Beautiful little gallery representing local artists. Having worked with artists for meny years I can really appreciate gallery owners who welcome and represent them. This gallery has a wide selection of talented local artists

Buy directly from the artist, and not from the unprofessional manager and staff in this store. They love their commissions, but that's about the end of the service you'll receive. Panna, owner of Maui Hands needs to take a close look at this store, and decide what's best for the business and the customers. Good luck, Panna!

Beautiful public beach. Incredible sunset views, super chill. There lots of turtles as well. You have some parking in the entrance of the beach

Super gorgeous beach! Definitely one of my favorite beaches I’ve been to in this area. Beautiful memories with my friends were made here

Beautiful beach by the Andaz Resort. Great for kids but I'm glad we had life vests on for my children 5 and under.

Beautiful beach, came here during the sunset. Beach was clean and stunning

Great beach! Not too busy probably because parking is at a minimum. Get there early. You can see turtles if you watch for them. Nice sandy beach, some rocks in the water so be careful. Facilities: portapotty. Lots of people snorkeling there.

One of my favorite beaches, hidden away, seldom that crowded. Not much for utilities, just one port-a-potty, now showers. Street parking, no lot.

PLenty of shade, decent snorkeling on the right (ocean facing). White rock on the left isn't that great unless you go all the way around to the other side (next beach south).

Super beautiful black sand beach! More like dark red spotted sand but beautiful regardless. Didn’t snorkel or anything, just walked around and it was still breathtaking.

Very soft sand and not crowded at all! Some small annoying flies in the afternoon. Saw a shark and a seal. Definitely worth a visit!

Not a top beach spot so it’s not very crowded. Seems to be more of a locals spot. Sand is red and black. The cliff in the background is all red lava that’s slowly crumbling away. My son and I hiked up the ridge to the left. I’d suggest NOT doing this. The lava is extremely sharp and In some spots it’s unsafe to step on because it crumbles away underneath your step. Other parts were slippery from being wet. We saw lots of fish and turtles in the water.

Oneuli Beach is a hidden gem just a short drive from Kihei, and it’s definitely worth a visit. The sand isn’t as dark as Waianapanapa, but it still has that unique black-sand charm, making it a beautiful spot to explore without the longer drive. There’s a great hike right next to the beach that offers stunning views and a chance to enjoy Maui’s landscape from a different angle. We loved the quieter vibe here – it felt like a peaceful retreat. It’s a bit of an adventure to find, with a short drive down a dirt road and through an unmarked gate, but that just adds to its charm. If you’re looking for a mix of scenery, solitude, and a nearby hiking option, Oneuli is a fantastic spot to spend a day.

This was such a beautiful secluded beach. Not crowded at all. Entry point is easy to miss — small little turn-off from main road and parking is very limited. There is quite a bit of distance between parking lot and the shore — sand can get extremely hot, so I would bring thick sole shoes. If you plan to swim, some parts of the water are rocky and small urchins were hidden in little caverns of large flat rocks that you can stand on — would recommend water shoes.

Unique, beautiful, and charming beach off the beaten path. Beautiful sand. Amazing at sunset. Private and not busy at all. No lifeguard, so possibly not a swimming beach for weaker swimmers. Could be a nice place for a picnic or location to camp out and relax without a crowd. Bring *safe/natural bug repellant* if going close to sunset.

Parts of the beach are under water now. The water was calmer today

Awesome spot for a beach day or to enjoy the views among the lava rocks. Plenty of shade, sun, and a fun wave area to swim in. Really enjoyed our time here!

Wow, what a little gem of a beach. Very small beach but perfect to my little girl to play in. The rocks provide a beautiful scenic backdrop that can be explored. A young man was brave to jump multiple times from the rocks and into the pool of water flowing into the break. A great day to spend a Thursday. Parking was free along the side of the road. Located in between homes with lava Rock walls.

This is an incredibly beautiful beach. I wouldn’t come here to go swimming, but I would definitely come here to take pictures and just take in the amazing views. There is a lot of rock so make sure you have shoes. We came here to watch the sunset and we were not disappointed. This is pretty easy to find if you look at the pictures from the reviews. It’s basically in between a wall with an entryway. You have to do a small climb down, but then your instantly on the beach this place can get crowded depending on the season. it’s highly popular because of how beautiful it is.

A very beautiful area including waves rocks can atmosphere definitely worth seeing

Rocky/Sandy Beach cove with amazing coral reefs and big waves

Beautiful hidden gem that is no longer so much hidden. A lot of wedding photographers take their customers here and if it’s 7 couples , considered it crowded. We went early morning to get a decent spot to take my birthday photos, and had a great time; not to mention the amazing views!

One of the most beautiful hidden beaches! I expected it to be more crowded because it is close to the major tourist area, but there was hardly anyone there when we went. The secret cove is easy to miss because it is ducked off between a few homes, but once you find it, you will be glad you did. There are a few rocks right at the entrance, so getting down to the beach might be a bit of a challenge for someone with physical limitations.

Beautiful collection of art pieces, a variety of amazing art to choose from or just browse. The staff are friendly and helpful. If you love art definitely come though here and visit. Fully air conditioned and quite

Great people. Awesome place to enjoy painting

Perfect place to view the lovely Art.

I’ve been wrestling for days to put my thoughts and emotions into words, after our most recent purchase of two incredible pieces from the Enchantress and Freeborne Gallery. My husband, Tom, and I are, by no means, connoisseurs of art, but we are both creatives, and are pulled toward what spiritually moves us. We were drawn into the gallery by the stunning koa paddle in the display, painted by Artist Walfrido Garcia. Once inside, we were enveloped in an emotional Wonderland of unique and stunning pieces of art; each one with its own transcendental pull towards something greater than us. We walked away with the paddle and a painting by up-and-coming Cuban Artist Perez Navarro, from his “New Horizons” collection. The image of a young girl, carrying what felt like the weight of the world on her shoulders captivated me, personally. I instantly recognized myself in the defiance in her eyes. She spoke to me in ways I cannot yet explain. As a sister, who lost my one and only sibling, along with her entire family to horrific drunk driving crash nearly seven years ago, I felt akin to this young woman. Grief and trauma are the most violent and vicious of dragons that we will encounter in our lifetimes. They can destroy you, or forge you in their fire. We don’t know if this young girl in the painting is real, or if she was born from Navarro’s imagination, but she is as human to me as anyone I have ever met. I simply could not walk away from her. It felt like walking away from myself. We also can’t say enough great things about Kristin, the gallery manager, who helped us with our purchase. She was present and patient, as we mulled over our purchase. Having someone, like her, sit with our heavy grief and walk us through the purchase process was everything to us. She was both a trusted guide and exceptional professional. We both feel like we have made a new friend. Tom and I can’t say enough about the gallery, our experience, and how overwhelmed and overjoyed we are with our purchase. Thank you for everything. And, most of all, we extend our deep gratitude for helping this grieving sis find a piece of home - and a piece of her heart - in your exquisite gallery.

Great gallery and wonderful artists come and work on their art on site! I was visiting Wailea and had the pleasure of running into this gallery that had Walfrido and his brother Dean Garcia painting as we walked in. They were gracious enough to let us watch in awe for as long as needed to make my 5 year old daughter see an artist in action. In the end, she was making her own paint marks of the Twin Falls piece. Forever grateful for this memory which will live in our hearts forever. Mahalo to Bootzie for hosting such a fun night and the beautiful Bootzie oils!

Great Experiece. Crystal was so welcoming and truly carries the Aloha spirit.

- Great art collection - the person who gave us the tour was pleasant, friendly, patient, informative - felt lucky to have visited and have such a nice experience here 💕

This mixed media gallery features world class artists from the islands and around the world. They feature fine art original oil paintings , blown glass, bronze and beyond. Enchantress Gallery also celebrates the wearable arts with hand crafted jewelry, the famous "Bootzie Oil" perfumes and exotic silk goddess wear. A truly unique shopping experience. A MAUI MUST SEE !

I have been a customer of Enchantress Gallery for years and before that I was a patron of her two clothing stores. She has the most wonderful fun environment. I have several pieces of Jewelery from her place. I have two pieces of her Jewelery and she is a very accomplished artist. They carry unique pieces of Art and Jewelry that you won’t find elsewhere.

Crystal was very helpful. Lots of great art pieces.

Beautiful selection of local, unique gifts for the home, much of it featuring the art and designs of Philip Sabado and his son.

Beautiful gallery and people
