Day 1/Hotel
Words cannot describe how amazing this hotel was! Not only was the staff attentive but the food and pools were great. It is on the pricier side but it was definitely worth the money.
Visit Maui Gold Pineapple Plantation and take a tour. This tour was around 2 hours long and we got to take 1 pineapple home per a person! They package the pineapples and they even stayed good until we got back.

'Iao Valley State Monument
Attend a luau at night! This is a must do in Maui and unfortunately we booked the wrong one. Make sure to NOT attend the Myths of Maui Luau. This luau is more pricey but it is a smaller audience and a wonderful set up! (Located at Andaz Hotel)
