West Maui Island Tours
West Maui Island Tours: Iao Valley,
Kahakuloa Head and Lahaina Town and Maui Tropical Plantation
The West Maui
Island tour is rich with history and beauty. You’ll see many of Maui’s
most
popular sights, including Iao Valley, Kahakuloa, Lahaina Town, and lush
Maui Tropical Plantation.
Iao Valley is a tranquil paradise of exotic plants and natural pools.
Towering emerald peaks guard the lush valley floor. Rising 2,250 feet
out of the earth you’ll see a rock pinnacle, known as “Iao Needle.” This
green stone pillar was used as a natural altar in ancient times. The top
of the Iao Needle is sometimes hidden behind mist or clouds, but that
often only adds to the drama of this extraordinary natural wonder. The
valley is full of tropical flowers, rainbows, waterfalls and swimming
holes. There is a well-marked path from the parking lot to view Iao
Needle and the ridge-top lookout provides incredible views of the
valley.
Upon leaving the Iao Valley you will head to Kahakuloa, a place
untouched by time. The small pastoral village by the sea is accentuated
by the 636 ft high landmark shoreline rock head on the point.
As you continue on around West Maui, you can visit Whaler’s Village at
Kaanapali Beach and take a swim at Maui’s best beach. Next stop is the
quaint and historical Lahaina Town. It harks back to the 1840s when up
to four hundred whaling ships would anchor there. Lahaina is now a
mecca
for shoppers with charming boutique shops, numerous art galleries, and
an array of world class restaurants. Check out the 110-year-old giant
Banyan tree, the Pioneer Inn Hotel built in 1906, and the wharf’s bits
of history that have been carefully preserved. Since the 1700s, when
King Kamehameha made it his home, Lahaina has been a casual place of
merriment, and it still is to this day.
From Lahaina you’ll proceed along the picturesque coastline with
breathtaking views, and then head across the Central Valley to the Maui
Tropical Plantation. This 60 acre working plantation offers a tram tour
through the fields of 15 native fruits and plants including papaya,
guava, mango, macadamia nuts, coffee, avocado, bananas, sugar cane, star
fruit and more. There is also a Country Store stocked with a variety of
Maui grown and made products.
This 5 hour tour is an excellent opportunity to experience and learn
much about beautiful West Maui.
