Im taking my girlfriend on a 5 day/4 night trip to Maui at the beginning of April. We are going to be staying at the Whaler on Kaanapali Beach in Lahaina. Im just trying to get some input to anyone who has visited the area as to what the best beaches (Kaanapali, Fleming?) to visit are and the funnest things to do. Im trying to pack in as much as I can without having to be constantly on the run.

1. The best beaches in west maui are:
   fleming beach
   kaanapali (black rock for snorkeling)
   kapalua bay
   honolua bay (not a beach - but awesome snorkeling)

   wendy is talking about mile marker 14 in olowalu
   I personally think it is overrated, but everyone swears by it - so check it out

   south maui beaches: (drive past kihei and into wailea-much quieter and more beautiful down there)
   big beach
   po'olenalena beach
   ulua beach
   la perouse (snorkeling)

   north shore:
   baby beach - windy but fun
   ho'okipa - good to watch windsurfers and can be nice

   aloha

3. Hey, I used to work at Kimo Bean Coffee at Whaler's Village right next to that hotel. It's a beautiful spot. My favorite beach on the west side was right across from the street I lived on. It's called Napili Bay. If you take Honaopiilani rd you'll see Hui F street on right, the beach in to your left. Awesome, off the street so no cars, quiet, great for swimming. The other great thing to do is to snorkel at mile marker ? (ugh, I can't remember the number!) it's between Lahaina going towards Kahului. Ask at any dive shop, they will know! Another good place, though a drive from Lahaina is out past the Wailea hotels. If you go way beyond, through the lava fields, you'll come to a little dirt parking lot. The walk/hike from there is great. All on the ocean, shady, and quiet. Plenty of places to stop and picnic. Wear comfy shoes. Very romantic (we used to camp out there). Have a blast!
4. I never met a beach in HI that I didn't like. For the best activities, take a sunrise bike ride down Haleakala. It's well worth getting up early for. Snorkeling Molokini is a little touristy, but in my opinion not to be missed. Taking a day trip on the Road to Hana is cool too, but take your time if you go. There's lots to explore along the way. Maui no-ka-oi.
5. Kaanapali is the best beach by far in west maui. there is also a spot about 6 miles north of there called honolua bay. you have to park and walk but you wont be disappointed.. also snorkel off black rock at kaanapli. very fun.
6. I think you'll be staying at the perfect beach. Kaanapali Beach is beautiful, I would stay there on my return trip. The city bus (trolley is only $1 there are cute shops around. Try bubba gumps, for great food.
