It’s on the other side of the island from you, but my favorite beach was Napili

Maui recs?"
It’s a cove beach, beautiful, right next to kapalua which is its more famous cousin, but we actually preferred napili. We did a snorkel boat tour with a really good company called Trilogy. Nice boat, well organized, perfect amount of time. Would recommend. Road to Hana is good, but it has its drawbacks. Parking at certain spots gets crazy and you have to skip certain ones if you weren’t there early. I personally got sick from all the hairpin turns. And it is a lot of time in the car. I’m personally glad I did it, but my recommendation for it is only moderate. I second miso phat sushi. I was not able to get mamas fish house reservations and I looked over 2 months in advance. So you might already be out of luck there.  Previous Message
Wife won her company's sales reward trip so we'll be there for 7 days in April (10th-17th). We're staying in the Wailea area. We have a morning snorkel scheduled as part of our group activities, and may try to do a whale watching trip, but other than that nothing planned.
