Located just past Mile Marker 10 on the road to Hana (Highway 36) are the verdant tropical gardens where the opening sequence of "Jurassic Park" was filmed.

Stroll along Maui's best nature trails and enjoy a leisurely lunch in a lush picnic area. This is a great activity for nature lovers and families with children.

Guided tours and audio guides are available, and there is an entertaining Keiki Program for the little ones. Check out the Marine Mammal Discovery Center here—it is educational and fun too!

Watched over by imposing, viridescent peaks, this park is replete with refreshing tropical woods sliced by winding trails and pathways. Dubbed as the 'Yosemite of the Pacific' by Mark Twain, this serene park is home to clearings, gardens and a spacious picnic area. This is an invigorating hiking destination, accentuated by the beauty of rejuvenating rainforests. The focal point of this park is the Iao Needle, a natural rock formation covered in green moss that towers mightily over the park as well as the Iao Stream that flows alongside it. Once the site of a great battle, this is a stirring centerpoint of history and natural beauty.

With its seemingly endless expanse of golden sand beach and perfect bodysurfing waves, Makena State Park is a must-see destination.

The surrounding environs are perfect for a hike that offers splendid views of the deep blue ocean. The waters around Makena State Park are home to an array of marine life, making it a popular spot for snorkeling.

A sprawling strand of white sand along the North Shore of Maui, the wide beach attracts body boarders, picnickers and sunbathers alike. With the Baby Beach to its west and the Baldwin Cove to its east, this surreal-looking beach is not just replete with natural wonders, but it is also an astounding cultural site. Stippled along its expanse are dunes which are known to be part of an olden Hawaiian burial complex. A stunning turquoise oasis situated right on the fringes of Paia, this magnificent beach rightly embodies nature merged with recreation. The beach has a large ball field that often is the site for soccer, baseball and softball games, while also being home to a pavilion, restroom facilities, barbecues and picnic areas, with plenty of free parking.
