The List
Everything we have thought worth writing down about Maui since 2001. Mostly restaurants, and there the list is complete: all 14 of them, including the ones that did not land, because a recommendation only means something once you can tell how many places it was chosen from. The rest is beaches, snorkeling, and the stops in between, kept here because it is the same island and the same twenty five years.

Verdict
Honolua BayThe other half of the snorkeling morning, about ten minutes up the road instead of ten minutes on foot. It is a marine reserve, which is most of why the snorkeling there is what it is. Same rule as Kapalua: the earlier you are in the water, the better it is.When Early morning. It is not a midday stop.KapaluaNotedKapalua BayAbout a ten minute walk from Napili, which is most of why it is the one we do. The snorkeling is genuinely good. Go early, before the wind picks up and before the beach fills in, and you get the calm water and the visibility both.When Early morning, before the wind picks upKapaluaNotedNakalele BlowholeKeep driving north past Honolua and it is right there. It is pretty cool, and that is the correct size of claim. Do it on the way back from snorkeling, not as a trip of its own.KapaluaNotedThe spa at the Resort at Kapalua BayFormerly the Montage. We had massages there and then stayed in the pools for the rest of the afternoon, and it was one of our favorite days on the island. This is the day that makes a trip feel like a trip.KapaluaNoted
