SPECIAL PLACES IN MAUIMaui holds a special place in Willie K.’s heart. Here are some Maui destinations that may inspire you too: LahainaWillie K. was raised in this historic whaling town on the warm western coast of Maui. Once the capital of the Hawaiian Kingdom, you can still visit a variety of historic places in Lahaina today as well as enjoy this seaside town’s lively art, music, shopping, and dining scene. Upcountry MauiOn your drive up to Haleakala make a stop in beautiful Upcountry. See Maui from a less traveled perspective atop these fertile slopes, from its rolling green meadows to the seemingly endless sea below. Visit the plantation town of Makawao, which is home to a thriving art community, or take a farm tour in the rich uplands of Kula. PaiaYour last stop before taking the long road to Hana is in charming Paia town. Once a sugar plantation town, Paia’s country buildings are now full of eclectic shops, galleries, and restaurants. Paia is also just minutes from Hookipa Beach Park, which is a world famous spot for windsurfing. Hana & Oheo GulchThe 52-mile road to Hana is known as much for its scenic views and waterfalls as its twists and hairpin turns. Beyond Hana are the beautiful pools of Oheo Gulch (the Seven Sacred Pools), the perfect reward after a long drive. | |||||||||
