Generally the Bed and Breakfasts in Haiku are small and managed by the owner. If a jungle and a rugged coast line fit your Maui dreams, like they do mine, then Haiku and the North Coast is sure to produce a relaxing and memorable vacation experience. This Maui B&B Guide is the best place to find a fully licensed, trust-worthy Inn that you can be assured will provide you the very best accommodations for your vacation.
Without doubt the biggest of the humongous waves happen out at "Jaws"; still you really should take note that the road down to the coast, near Jaws, is not accessible with your rental car. It is a long and usually hot (or quite wet) hike out there. AND, again please note, once you get there the views are not really all that fabulous (all things considered) as the monsters are just too far out there to see well. The best views you will find of the Big Waves, that you can get to easily anyway, is found at Ho'okipa. However, if you don't believe me, you can always hit this park on the way back... assuming you don't go all the way around (a temptation you will find hard to resist once you get to the end of the paved road out past Kipahulu). So stop in Ho'okipa on the way out, take a couple of minutes break, and enjoy gazing at the Pacific for awhile. From here you leave the beaches and sugarcane moving up into the pineapple and jungle lands of Haiku, Pauwela and eventually Huelo. If you love jungle, and a bit of rain does not annoy you, then you will likely find this area of Maui to be just what you are looking for. There are few days that rain does not fall in this area and it creates a fresh, super-alive atmosphere of lush green growth.
Maui's North Shore World famous waves. Pineapple. Lush, steamy jungles!
While the waves that come roaring in to the rugged cliffs on Maui's North Coast are well known, this area is also a wet, tropical jungle with acres of pineapples all dotted with residential homes and quite a few Bed & Breakfast Inns. If you love the wet jungle then this side of Maui may well be the best place to relax and explore, while still only 30 minutes or so from downtown Kahului.
