Things to do in Makena

The sea around Maui was an unrealistically blue, with waves crashing against the rocks and splashing white foam. Wild pheasants swaggered across the road, and cars stopped to wait for them. The Hana Highway wound its way along the cliff edge, making my palms sweat, and I stopped seven or eight times to watch the waterfalls and rainbows. While snorkeling, I was startled to see a green sea turtle slowly sliding past me. At night, I could hear the waves from my cabin, and when I looked up, the sky was filled with stars, so dense it was almost frightening. Time moved at a leisurely pace; even the cats lay lazily by the roadside.

Kamaloe Beach Park I was close to our condo, and so took the opportunity for a morning beach walk on a weekday.

Molokini Crater, located off the coast of Maui, Hawaii, is a breathtaking crescent-shaped volcanic crater and one of the world’s premier snorkeling and diving destinations. This partially submerged crater forms a natural marine sanctuary teeming with colorful coral reefs and over 250 species of tropical fish. The crystal-clear waters, with visibility often exceeding 150 feet, make it ideal for underwater photography and exploration. Protected as a marine reserve, Molokini offers a peaceful and pristine environment for visitors to enjoy Hawaii’s rich marine life. Whether snorkeling, diving, or taking a boat tour, Molokini Crater provides an unforgettable ocean adventure.

Makena Beach is a place with a very beautiful sea view. It is a relatively unpopular beach. There are not many people but the scenery is particularly good. It is also a beach park with good supporting facilities.

Little Beach is a not very crowded beach on Maui Island. It is not very large and of course there are relatively few tourists, but the scenery here is also very good, with blue sky, white clouds, and beach.
