SIDE ONE
Side one of Franko's Guide Map of Maui shows Maui in perfect and beautiful shaded relief as if you are looking at it from far above. The slopes of Haleakala and the steep valleys of the West Maui Mountains stand out against the green lowlands and coast. Look close enough and you will note that where there are sandy beaches, the color of sand appears along the shoreline. Maui's favorite snorkeling, surfing, bodyboarding, scuba diving, ocean kayaking, windsurfing, big game sportfishing, whale watching, helicopter tours, bicycling, horseback riding, hiking, driving, golfing, museums, Hawaii State Parks, National Parks and numerous places to visit and explore are located and described. You will not run out of things to do on Maui! There are close-up details of the Lahaina to Kapalua area, the Kahului and Airport details, and the Ma'alaea to Makena details are saved for side two of Franko's Guide Map of Maui, but this side of the map has dozens and dozens of things to see and do. Side one of Franko's Guide Map of Maui includes the following captions:
OLOWALU is Maui's top shore dive snorkeling site, and it is also visited daily by many Lana'i snorkeling excursions as a second dive spot to view tropical fishes as well as green sea turtles, and occasional spinner dolphins. Scuba further from beach via a channel in the reef. OLOWALU surfing is a nice beach break with lefts and rights in south swells, but it is crowded with locals.
CORAL GARDENS Scuba dive to 35' (11m) depth via boat 1/2 Mi (0.8 Km) north of Pali Tunnel. Popular snorkeling site on south end beyond beach. It is a rich coral reef with a wide variety of tropical fish, moray eels and green sea turtles. This serves as a Molokini tour boat alternate dive site when windy.
HONOKOHAU BAY This bay is sometimes dived via a pebbly beach entry. It is usually a calm bay in the summer, but from October to April there can be a heavy right surf break at the point over a hazardous sharp coral bottom.
JAWS (PEAHI) - THE big wave spot of Maui competes with Oahu for fame with some of the largest waves ever ridden by surfers towed in by a waverunner. Sorry, but there is zero public beach access.
WINDMILLS Winter NW swells make super hollow left barrels, to 20'+ similar to Pipeline. Lefts called "Razor Reef", rights called "The Rock” because of killer razor coral bottom, and rocks. This is dangerous surfing for experts only!
THE ROAD TO HANA - Maui's most famous scenic highway is called "The world's most beautiful drive". This is a very long, curvy road that demands many stops to enjoy the fabulous Hawaiian scenery. It takes all day to go both ways. Hana Highway is an adventure through tropical rainforests, with the ocean on one side and thundering waterfalls, fragrant ginger and fruit laden guava trees on the other side. Take your time, stop and swim in the cool mountain stream pools and take lots of pictures of what Maui looked like before urbanization.
HALEAKALA DOWNHILL 37 miles of downhilling from 10,000 feet elevation to sea level. Make sure you have good brakes!
PI'ILANI HWY is not paved from KA'EHO'EHO to NU'U and is sometimes impassible. But this is a fabulously scenic route from The Pools of O'heo to Kahului.
KAHEKILI HIGHWAY Off the beaten track, this narrow road takes you to a different side of Maui where the ocean charges into the shore and the old Hawaiian village of KAHAKULOA looks much as it did a century ago. This picturesque village is nestled between two hills with colorful old houses surrounding a white church with red-tiled roof and vibrant green taro patches in the distance. The road is paved, but very narrow.
LAHAINA TOWN Take a walk back in history to the 1800s when whalers roamed the streets and missionaries labored to “save” the Hawaiians by bringing them the Word. Well preserved historical sites, thanks to the Lahaina Restoration Society. Side map side 2 for details.
