I went last summer. I didn't think it was a great value. Perhaps it was the long drive from Wailea? Perhaps my expectations were too high...

I'd actually take this in a different direction. If you don't want to go over to West Maui (Lahaina), maybe make the short 20 minute trip to Paia?

On our way to Hana, it looked interesting (maybe too touristy)?

Paia was also mentioned in The Wave by Susan Casey as a place to see a different side of HI.

YMMV...

Personally, I'd make it over to Maui Tropix on Dairy Rd. to buy matching boardshorts to the rash guard shirt I bought last summer.

They steadfastly refuse to mail order -- "fly here, buy here", she told me as I was checking out.... Should have listened...
