One of the most sacred spots on the island, ‘Iao Valley—a National Natural Landmark whose biggest claim to fame is the 1,200 foot-high lava spire at its center—presents one photo opp after another, from lush vegetation along its valley floors to extensive views of the weathered central coast. As the site of one of Hawaii’s most brutal wars—the Battle of Kepaniwai in 1790—it’s rumored that its stream waters once ran red with the blood of victims. Poignancy is felt in the air here, but the same waters are now lucid and lovely, jutting up against moss-covered boulders and rocks that seem to dance between shadow and light. 4,000 acres of tranquility are enhanced by a steep but worthwhile climb up 133 steps, where you’ll be presented with 360-degrees vistas that practically beg to be captured. Plants abound on its Lookout Trail and Ethnobotanical Trail, but as “cloud supreme” (to which ‘Iao’s Hawaiian name translates), do know it’s best to arrive in the morning before the fog arrives. If you’d like to supplement your trip to the park with guided assistance, look no further than Valley Isle Excursions, whose tour of ‘Iao also includes a stop at Kepaniwai Heritage Gardens—a public space that honors the myriad cultures that shaped modern Maui.

«We stayed here during our honeymoon in Hawaii, and it truly couldn’t have been more perfect. The property was spotless, beautifully maintained, and had that peaceful island charm that made it feel like our own little paradise. We loved waking up to the sound of the ocean, having coffee on the lanai, and watching the sunset each evening.The location was ideal — close enough to great beaches, restaurants, and shops, but still tucked away enough to feel private and relaxing. We made so many special ...

«The property manager did not tell us we would have to change rooms part way through our trip. They also did not coordinate the move. They also did not communicate with the front desk on our arrival and our room was not clean. We were not able to use half the facility on the first night. The check in desk has the owner’s name on the reservation, and then added ours. The facility was great and staff was great, the host was hard to work with.»

«We had booked a 3 bedroom VRBO way in advance for my husband and adult daughter and son. We wanted to stay togerther in one unit. 3 days before we were traveling from the states to Hawaii, we were informed by the host that "the owner was being difficult" and we were not allowed to stay in the unit we booked! They wanted us to cram into a 2 bedroom villa which meant one of the adults would have to sleep on a pull out couch! NOT acceptable. After much discussion, the best they were able to do was ...

«This was my Christmas present to my children this year and with just hours before our flight on Christmas Day, I got an email not a phone call an email telling me that our reservation was canceled with no explanation as to why. I spent three hours with four different managers, trying to figure out how to save Christmas for my kids as I was flying from Denver all the way over nonstop to Maui, Hawaii for our Christmas vacation. This was a disaster that VRBO allows owners to cancel with no ...
