WAILUKU TO KAHULUI:
The Maui Historical Society Museum, whose structure was built between 1833 and 1850, was once home to missionary Edward Bailey and his family. Today it is a museum containing Hawaiian artifacts from times before Western contact, as well as furniture and other household items from the missionary days.

Kanaha Pond, a spring-fed freshwater pond, is a bird sanctuary and home to various waterfowl including the endangered Hawaiian stilts, herons, ducks and cattle egrets. In ancient times it was a fishpond for the alii (royalty), who fattened their favorite breeds in the pond.
Kanaha Beach Park is a long strand of sandy beach that is great for picnicking. On still days the swimming is excellent. When the wind is up, so are the windsurfers with their colorful boards and sails slicing through the water.
Dominated by the 2,250 foot spire of Iao Needle, Iao Valley State Park has paved pathways which meander down to the stream and up to a sheltered lookout with a magnificent view of the valley and Kahului Bay.
