4 days
This 4-Day trip will take you to 4 cities on Maui: Lahaina, Paia, Wailuku, including the secluded village of Hana. Its isolated position has enabled it to maintain an image of the Hawaii that existed before the invasion of mass tourism - idyllic with lush fields and gardens, thanks to the plentiful rains, characteristic of the east coasts of all the Hawaiian islands.
