プウ・ククイのおすすめツーリングルート

Launiupoko Beach Park is arguably Maui's most family-friendly beach. There is a protected wading area, large grassy picnic area with shade and, smaller waves. This beach is so popular that some families show up before dawn just to stake their claim to a spot. You can find potable water and a vendor selling shaved ice here too!

Holy Innocents Episcopal Church was built in 1872 and renovated in 1927. Located across the street is the site of Moku'ula, where the kings of Maui resided since the days of Pi'ilani Nui (1500s), Maui's first king. Fast forwarding to 2023, this church was destroyed in the Maui fire and only small remnants of the foundation remain. With the deep history of the church, and the graciously donated funds from Oprah and 'The Rock', I'm sure the church will come back strong.

Nā-kālele Point, located on the northern Maui shore, has a unique feature where waves rush into small rock cavities and create blowholes like a geyser. There is a lighthouse here, but its more of a glorified antenna, but still guides ships as a conventional lighthouse would, this is just more hightech.

Waihe’e Ridge Trailhead offers stunning views of the ocean and surrounding forest right from the carpark. You can stop here and call it a day before coasting back into town, or you can forge on a little further on the dirt roads. It is a surreal feeling to be so far above the ocean with only the clouds differentiating the water from the sky.

Enjoy lunch at an overlook above the beach! There is a lunch cart serving some refreshing Hawaiian cuisine at a stunning spot. You can have a quick bite then coast down the hill to Kahakuloa beach and get a closer look at the Head or Pu’u Koa’e (the big rock mountain to the east).

Honoapiilani Highway is a smooth stretch of road with wide shoulders and numerous ocean views as you wind in and out of the forest. This road is the main artery for the West Maui Coastline, so there is much to see along the way!

Honokohau Bay is a small bay, also known as 'Boulder Beach'. The beach and ocean is pretty rocky and rip currents are common. On calmer days you can swim out to the reef to get some good snorkeling in. There is even a stream that flows into the ocean right on the beach.

This lesser traveled route to Līpoa Point has stunning views of some natural arches, tide pools, and sheer cliffs. You can leave your bikes on the trail and walk down to the rock cliffs to get a closer look!
