The Maui City Guides answer what every visitor wonders: where islanders go for a plate lunch, which sights need a booking before you land, which beaches are calm in winter and how to drive to Hana without spending the whole day in the car. Each guide is a short, opinionated list grouped by area, with the reason to go, what to order or bring and one practical tip for every place, and it opens in your browser the moment you pay.

Three places from the guides
Kula Bistro
Kula, Lower Kula Road
A family kitchen on the lower slopes of Haleakala with plates big enough to share. After a cold sunrise at the summit, this is where to warm up with breakfast or a burger. From the food guide.
Maui Brewing Co.
Kihei, Lipoa Parkway
The island’s largest craft brewery, with roll-up doors onto a patio, a wall of kegs and a flight to try the range. Early in the evening it suits families too. From the nightlife guide.
Hamoa Beach
South of Hana town, 10 minutes by car
A curve of grey-gold sand under palms, sheltered by a rocky point, where locals bodysurf. The best spot on the Hana side to stay for an afternoon, but keep close to shore. From the day trips guide.
Plan your days on Maui
Day one: land in Kahului, eat from the budget guide, then head Upcountry with the day trips guide for the lavender farm and goat dairy, and end with a sunset drink from the nightlife guide. Day two: drive the Road to Hana early, stopping where the things to do guide says it pays off. On a slow or wet day, the family guide has the aquarium, the sugar museum and gardens, and the food guide finds a long lunch nearby.
