Your day begins with pick-up from Kahului Harbor. Then it's off to Maui's North Shore to start your "Adventure in Paradise." Prepare for never-ending sights, sounds, and activities as you wind along one of the World's most dazzling coastlines. Marvel at the hidden splendor of Honomanu and Nuaailua bays and feast your eyes on the seasonally varied fruit-laden trees - mangoes, java plums, and avocados - of the Ko'olau Forest Reserve.
At Kaumahina State Wayside Park (Kaumahina means "moonrise"), you'll enjoy great views of the rugged coastline and the Ke'anae Peninsula. This portion of the Hana Highway passes lava pinnacles, taro patches, an old Hawaiian village, and a church built in 1860. A stop here provides breakfast pastry, juice, and coffee, as well as fantastic views and an opportunity to listen to the expert commentary of your knowledgeable guides.
Let the surf tickle your toes on the black sand beach at Wai'anapanapa State Park. The rugged volcanic coastline here offers solitude from urban life. Offering one-stop natural attractions, including native hala, lava tube, natural stone arch, sea stacks, blowholes, and perhaps capturing a glimpse of a seabird or two.
After arriving mid-day in Hana, it's time for an alfresco picnic lunch. A Hana Beach Park is the setting for entrees of both a fresh wrap of grilled herb marinated chicken breast, and a fresh wrap of lightly blackened 7-spice seared ono (fish) in a Maui-made tortilla wrap or a vegetarian/vegan/gluten-free wrap. Included are salads, Maui Gold pineapple, and a triple chocolate fudge brownie with toasted Hamakua macadamia nuts.
Take the return trip at a "Maui-style" pace. Bring bathing suits and towels to capture a lifetime memory of swimming in a freshwater pool under a cascading waterfall at Pua'a Ka'a State Park (weather and stream conditions permitting). In addition, the afternoon return journey takes you to Ho'okipa and the chance at a breathtaking "photo op" of Maui's world-class windsurfers.
