The Bailey House was built on the site where Kahekili, the last ruling chief of Maui, had his royal compound.In 1833, one of the first western-style houses in Wailuku was built here with koa wood and lava rock.The museum houses over 100 landscape oil paintings that Edward Bailey became known for.There are also rare artifacts from pre-Western contact, like ancient Hawaiian tools, weapons, and a carved statue of the demigod Kamapua’a that was recovered from an upcountry cave where it was hidden for well over a century.There is even a replica of the Hokule’a, the Polynesian-style sailing canoe that made a voyage around the world, navigating by the stars.The gift shop is full of handcrafted artisan items and books on Hawaii’s history.

Honolua Bay

During the summer months, divers and snorkelers enjoy this marine-life conservation district where tropical fish and turtles flock to the warm waters.The beach is rocky and not especially great for swimming or sunbathing, but if you want to see tropical fish, you’ve come to the right place! The bay itself is the real draw.There are two parking areas for this beach and each requires a short hike before you can access the bay.We recommend driving down to the second parking area, which is larger.You’ll see porta-potties in the lot; don’t let that discourage you.The walk to the water takes you through a beautiful jungle trail.
