Driving the Hana Highway is a MUST! Maui Revealed has great
maps/directions. The route takes you along the coast for
dramatic views, waterfalls, swimming pools, and some of the
most beautiful and secluded beaches on the island. Stop by the
fruit stand in Hana to chop your own coconut with a machete!

Maui dining 101: the rule of thumb is that the shadier and more po-dunk looking the restaurant is, the more amazing the food is. Maui dining is a no-frills, usually
little to no ambiance (unless it's kitschy and bizarre) eating affair that is all about fresh fish and ingredients and hearty home cooking. Asian-hawaiian cuisine is
huge and always start off with PuPus, or tapas appetizers.

Nice flavors and fresh fish. While it's definitely worth the 2 for 1 early bird entree
special, I would not pay full price ($30/entree) for the lack of ambiance and
somewhat apathetic service.
This is the local's favorite, authentic homestyle hawaiian grub. From Loco
mocos, to other kins of bbq and teriyaki chicken, I've only heard raves about the
flavorful comfort food and huge portions for $8
Best natural food market in Paia, and Maui

This kozy shack with loads of kona coffee to bring home used to be bad ass, but
nevertheless, grabbing a cup of joe and sitting outside is just as relaxing. 2 for 1
coffees from 6-9am.
Located in the Wailea Shopping center, Honolulu Coffee is a bit yuppie and
overpriced, but I love their soy lattes and chocolate chip cookies, which are
perfect after a long run
Anthony's reminds me of a homemade ice cream shop in the Hamptons or Cape
Cod, with friendly service by the owners, and kitschy beach decor. The Kona
Coffee ice cream and macadamia ice cream are favorites and scones are the
size of my head.
A fine dining favorite on the island, Mama's boasts some of the most gorgeous
views of Maui. Be sure to go BEFORE it's dark for a photo op. While most
people I went with did not feel that $50 was warranted for the quality of the food, I
enjoyed the Macadamia encrusted fish and lobster guacamole. You're paying for

Holy Moly! A baker's delight. You must get the Manju and Hawaiian sweet bread
here. I love their peanut butter Manjui but the red bean or taro is good too. They
also have Spanish baked delights
Although I haven't tried this sushi restaurant, our snorkeling diving spider monkey

Casual and laid back, Gaby's has yummy pizza and buttery garlic bread. It's a
great place to play pool, grab a pie if you're fished-out, and go out in Lahaina.
