Honolua Travel Guide

Tourist Guide

Honolua Bay is your reward stop after driving the rugged mountainous nearly one-lane road along Maui's Northern-most tip of the island. This road is legal and accessible with a normal vehicle, but it's a bit of a harrowing drive, so be very cautious and honk when coming around bends. Honolua Bay is a great place to snorkel, have a swim, or lay on the hot rocks. While here, be sure to visit the Coconut Caboose mobile truck, serving all-natural shaved ice made from frozen raw coconut water, hand-cracked by the owner and founder himself. They also serve delicious organic, vegan gelato all using coconut as the base instead of milk. The owner has amazing sustainable values, and all of his products are compostable and made of cane sugar instead of plastic. Now THIS is a business we support! To see more photos of Honolua Bay and what you should try at Coconut Caboose, check out my blog post on Maui here: https://culturalfoodies.com/2018/08/19/a-three-day-itinerary-on-maui-including-how-much-money-we-spent/ #likealocal #lifeatexpedia #troveon #Honoluabay #hawaii #maui #localexpert #snorkel #vistas

Great surf spot near Kapalua Maui, Hawaii, looking across at Molokai. #OnTheRoad
When traveling to Maui visiting Honolua Bay is a must! It is a wonderful place to go snorkeling; you can see sea turtles, coral, parrotfish, goat fish, ta’ape, octopus, unicorn fish, urchins, and much more! Also high rocky cliffs surround it, which shelters it from the wind and keeps the water calm. There really is no other beach quite like it! #LifeAtExpedia
