Maui is where Yuka grew up and we are beyond excited to bring all of our favorite people to her hometown in Kihei. Maui is a special place and we hope you enjoy your time on this beautiful island. Below are some recommendations we hope you get to experience during your stay. Please feel free to reach out to us for any questions!

Haleakala Sunrise - If you haven’t seen the breathtaking sunrise yet and are willing to take on the super early morning drive, we highly recommend this magical experience. Give yourself enough time to get there and dress warm. Reservations to park between 3:00 am - 7:00 am are required. Can be booked 60 days in advance, which we recommend as it gets booked quickly. https://www.recreation.gov/ticket/facility/253731

Road to Hana - A beautiful scenic drive to Hana which is a town on east Maui. It’s about a 2-2.5 hour drive from Kihei. A long drive but worth seeing a different side of Maui. Waiʻānapanapa State Park (Black Sand Beach) is worth visiting! Don’t forget to stop by Aunty Sandy’s banana bread stand on the drive.
