While one could not say that all roads lead to this museum, it could certainly seem that way to Maui drivers. Located at one of the largest intersections on Maui, it is adjacent to Maui's main sugar factory. The pungent aroma of sugar cane permeates the air for miles. The museum provides visitors with extensive information on the history of the sugar industry, as well as details about its cultivation and production. Many exhibits are interactive, making use of modern effects. There is a gift shop on-site if you wish to buy few things for your loved ones.
It is hard to imagine a more dramatic spectacle than the active Kilauea Volcano. Now visitors to Maui can take this company's helicopter tour over to the Big Island to view the volcano. Tours depart from Kapalua, West Maui Airport and Kahului, Maui. The heli-tour also passes over Maunakea, Hilo and Hana. This is a fantastic way to view a few of Hawaii's most amazing attractions within a two-hour period. Charters are also available. It is recommended that you book tours a few days in advance. Call for pricing information.
This beloved landmark in the center of Wailuku Town is much improved after a 1995 facelift. In its 70-year history, the theater has won the hearts and support of island residents, many of whom participate in the low-budget productions. This is the home of the Maui Community Theater, a popular amateur theater company that puts on three to four plays and musicals each year. Under the directorship of local actor Doug McBride, the company has presented such favorites as Odd Couple and Blite Spirit, as well as locally written productions.
View the natural wonders of Maui from above. The state-of-the-art Black Beauties can get passengers amazingly close to waterfalls, cliffs, craters and other stunning landmarks. Two popular tours are the West Maui Deluxe Tour, which flies over the West Maui Mountains, Lahaina and Ka'anapali, and the Hana/Haleakala Special, which visits the Haleakala Crater, Hana and Ho'okipa Beach. A horseback-helicopter combination tour is offered; call for more information.
Combine a snorkel cruise with a trip to Molokini and a detour at nearby Turtle Town (home of the sea turtles), and you have got an irresistible excursion. This company only takes small groups and is operated by a Coast Guard Captain with almost 20 years of experience; he and his crew take pride in their ecological awareness. The Seafire is new to South Maui, and is highly recommended by tour guides if you are staying in Kihei or Wailea. Call for prices and to make reservations.
This gallery-studio is owned by and features the work of two glassblowers with distinctive styles—Chris Lowry and Christopher Richards. Items available here include vases, sea-forms and platters. Though the duo exhibits their wares in other studios as well, their latest creations can be easily procured here. Some of the work is truly incredible—check the website for samples.

Several local artists and craftsmen display their works here. That's nothing new; most of the galleries and stores on Maui feature some local artists. However, this place is characterized by its artists' cooperative spirit and a pledge to offer reasonable prices. Woodworks, ceramics, tablewares, home ornaments and clothing accessories are among the wide selection of items for sale. The merchandise varies from simple to ornate, but all of it features a distinctly Hawaiian style.
