Along the Upcountry route are numerous flower farms and botanical gardens as well as vegetable and fruit farms amidst the rolling green ranch lands that provide stunning vistas of Maui and the blue Pacific.

Wine lovers should stop in at Ulupalakua Ranch and visit the Tedeschi Vineyards tasting room which is located in a historic 1874 building called the Kalakaua Cottage. The ranch also offers Sport Clay Shooting as well as horseback riding adventures which are a great way to see this beautiful countryside. Some great hiking can be found at Polipoli Spring State Recreation Area located at an elevation of about 6,200 feet above Kula town.

For ocean adventures head down to Hookipa where the world's best windsurfers and kitesurfers display their skills, or to the lovely Baldwin Beach Park.If you like waterfalls then take a drive on the road to "heavenly Hana" which offers an abundance of places to stop and enjoy the beautiful scenery. In Hana town you will find more great beaches including the picturesque Hamoa Bay as well as Kaihalulu Beach, commonly known as Red Sand Beach due to the red-black color of the sand due to a near by volcanic cinder cone.

Eat and Shop
Once a bustling plantation town, Paia still exudes its historic character with many of its wooden buildings constructed in the old plantation style now housing quaint shops that sell everything from antiques and art to bakery and surfing gear. In all there are about 40 different shops in Paia providing plenty of places to browse with lots of local arts and craftwork and many unusual items you will see nowhere else.

When it comes to dining you can find fine cuisine in Paia as well as casual fare. At the local favorite Mama's Fishhouse try the wasabi-crusted calamari, crispy mahimahi rolls or seared ahi sashimi with pineapple-tamarind sauce. The grilled octopus (he'e in Hawaiian) at Mama's is caught by a local free diver.
