Oahu to Maui - Best of Maui: Sips, Sites & Bites

Escape to another Hawaiian island for a day on this all-inclusive tour. Hop on an inter-island flight from Honolulu to Maui for a once-in-a-lifetime experience. See Maui's top attractions, starting with Haleakala National Park, home to the dormant Haleakala volcano and endangered Hawaiian geese. You might also be able to spot the rare Silversword plant.

Around noon we will stop in historic Makawao town, a former paniolo (Hawaiian cowboy) hot spot. Browse unique shops and art galleries and enjoy lunch on your own. The tour then continues to Iao Valley State Park, a 4,000 acre tropical rainforest. After a short walk past a meandering stream through a forest bursting with native Hawaiian plant life, gaze high above at the iconic Iao Needle – a natural outcropping jutting from the mountain side. The needle is covered in emerald green vegetation and towers 1,200 feet over Iao valley. Iao Valley is rich in history as a former ancient burial site for Hawaii’s royalty.
