I will be visiting Maui and here are some possible stops for me on the Island of Maui.
Aloha, Bob
The earliest inhabitants are thought to have arrived from the Marquegas around the 4th century AD. In 1795, Kamehameha I conquered Maui to unite the islands and established his royal seat there at Lahaina.
• Iao Valley - Means “supreme light” and is a place of pilgrimage for Maui warriors. It is one of the wettest places on earth, and a sacred place where 26 Hawaiian kings and queens are buried
• Haleakala - The world’s largest dormant volcano and the site where the god Maui held the sun hostage
• Halekii-Pihana Heiaus - Ancient temples of sacrifice and refuge built in 1240
• Pilanihale Heiau - Temple made out of lava rock with immense tiered walls and terraces, and the largest ancient place of worship in Polynesia
• Holy Ghost Church - Built in 1894 by Portuguese immigrants, it has an unusual octagonal design
