Join me as we explore south Maui's wild coastline from picture postcard beaches to the lava fields of ancient Hawai'i. If jet lag has you waking up early the 3hr Makena Sunrise Tour is a great way to jump start your vacation as you acclimate to Hawaii's timezone. Sunsets from this part of the island are some of the most beautiful on Maui. Gain valuable insight on what makes incredible landscape imagery as we say Aloha to a beautiful Hawaiian sunrise/sunset.
