Iao Valley & Maui Tropical Plantation

Description

Be sure to read the Special Notes further down this page for important requirements and restriction.

Your journey begins at the pier where you'll board your air-conditioned motorcoach and travel from Lahaina Harbor to Iao Valley via Highway 380, Kahului and Wailuku Town. We'll pass through Kepaniwai Park, the site of Kamehameha's victory against Maui's army.

In Iao Valley, enjoy a guided drive through Maui's "Valley of the Kings" to Iao Valley State Park. Stroll the path that offers stunning views of the lush valley and leads to a scenic overlook of The Needle, the sacred volcanic pinnacle that rises from the valley floor.

Next, we'll head to Maui Tropical Plantation, a 60-acre working farm. Enjoy a narrated tram tour through a variety of agricultural fields, such as sugar cane and macadamia nut orchards. Watch a coconut-husking demonstration and visit the "Made in Maui" Country Store where you can purchase macadamia nuts, Hawaiian-grown coffee, guava jam and many other island products before we re-board the motorcoach for the return route back to the ship.

Special Notes:

Passengers must negotiate some steps in walking up to the overlook; the Needle may be viewed from your motorcoach.
