restaurant and the area looks very commercial, with a large employee parking area more on Tripadvisor

Makawao is located in upcountry Maui and is the ultimate in a Hawaiian vacation. This is the heart of Hawaiian ranching country where you will get the feeling you have entered the Old West and the world of cowboys and rodeos.  See the famous flower of Maui, the Protea, when you visit the Kula Botanical Gardens and take one of the walking tours. The city also has many trails and walking tours of the town so that you can get out and about and enjoy the fantastic weather. Stay in a bed and breakfast or even on a working ranch and dine on the best cuisine on the island in the restaurants.

Whether you want to engage in surfing or just watch, Ho’okipa Beach Park is the place to be. This beach is one of the premier destinations on Maui for water sports and has some of the best waves of the coast. There are three picnic pavilions where you can enjoy your lunch and take in the sights. Play in the sand or just lounge on the beach and work on your tan.

Hosmer’s Grove is located just outside the Haleakala National Park and dates back to the colonial times of the island when newcomers brought other plants and animals to Maui.  There are many species of plants and trees grown in this reforestation area. Take advantage of the educational activities for visitors of all ages where you can learn how to plant seeds and seedlings and take care of them. The half-mile hike through the grove takes you through several ecological areas and gives you a glimpse of what this mountain looked like before the plants and trees were removed.
