7 Things to do Good for Kids in Kapalua That You Shouldn't Miss
Where white sand beaches and the glimmering, blue Pacific meet green, lush, volcanic peaks sits Kapalua, Maui. Located on Maui's northwest shore, Kapalua is exclusive, sophisticated and relaxing with activities like golf, tennis, water sports and tropical life that soothe the senses and the soul. Host to the renowned Kapalua Wine & Food Festival, nestled amongst Cook pines and surrounded by acres of pineapple, Kapalua is the perfect getaway. Access to breathtaking nature, outdoor activities and beach-life are why visitors love Kapalua vacation. After a day in the sun, experience an authentic Hawaiian Luau. Feast on traditional foods such as succulent kalua pig cooked in an earthen oven, poi or haupia (coconut pudding). Steep in Hawaiian tradition as you enjoy this long-lived Hawaiian festivity which includes time-honored Hawaiian music, hula dancing and fire dancing. From your accommodations, plan a trip to the Haleakala Volcano; explore the lush vegetation, birds and animals in this protected marine-life conservation district. Follow a walking trail through the paths of ancient lava rivers that have long since cooled And visit the caves, marveling at the stalactites, stalagmites and flowstone. Walking the winding trails of this ancient subterranean river of lava is safe and easy and an enjoyable activity for the entire family. Climb to the peak of the Haleakala volcano and take in the spectacular view of the crater from the rim, or be adventurous and climb down into the crater on foot or on horseback.

A very scenic, lovely and uncrowded beach. We held our Wedding Ceremony here in May 2018. During our Ceremony, I saw only a handful of beachgoers throughout the entire stretch of beautiful shore. Quiet and protected, we would highly recommend this beach if you are visiting the Napili/Kapalua Bay area.

Cozy church seating about 150. Carved wood altar. Beautiful, simple stained glass windows behind the altar. They open the windows/doors all around, so it is almost like an open-air mass. Mass had multiple Hawaiian songs, ukulele, guitar, piano and choir with native-Hawaiian appearing choir members, nuns, servers etc, making it a cultural experience too. So glad to attend mass here! Tip is to get there early, as parking is ok, but you park further and further away as the lots fill up going up the hill. it was very much standing room only when I was there (some seats up in the loft), and Many were standing on the main level in a January mass. Still way worth it.

We loved everything about this beach! It is unspoiled by condos, has beautiful views, surrounded by iron woods, clean restrooms, and excellent burgers and shakes at the Burger Shack. My 3 children loved the day exploring the iron woods, relaxing in the hammock, body surfing in the large waves, burgers & shakes for lunch, and walking over to the formations at Dragon’s Teeth. As we were there in the windy season, we did not even attempt boogie boarding, but all the more reason to plan another trip here!

We were fortunate to get a nice parking spot, changing into our bathing suits at the restroom and then accessing the amazing beach with incredible water, views and plenty of space, including some shady areas to beat the heat. The water is refreshing and the rolling waves are gentle enough to snorkel in at each end of the beach.

We all loved the Kapalua area of Maui, and this short walk to Dragon’s Teeth is an easy one, and you are rewarded with interesting lava formations, a beautiful view of D.T. Fleming Beach, and a great spot to whale watch. There is a large hedgerow which marks the boundary of the Honokahua Burial Site. Watch for high waves and wet, slippery rocks!
