KĀ‘ANAPALI
Maui’s famed mile-long jewel is a glittering treasure. At the north end, Kahekili Beach is named after the last king of Maui. With its sandy bottom, this area is ideal for snorkeling. The southern boundary is Pu’u Keka’a, or Black Rock. This unique outcropping of black lava is surrounded by coral reefs, and is another underwater haven to witness Maui’s fascinating sea life.

‘Sansei-Tioanal' Sushi
If it crawls, eat it. If it explodes, so be it. While spider and caterpillar rolls have now become as familiar as tempura and nigiri, Sansei’s sushi chefs still provide guests a contemporary look at sushi and sashimi, as well as its award-winning panko-crusted fresh ahi sashimi and crab ramen with truffle broth. Kapalua Resort, 600 Office Road, 808.669.6286 and 1881 S. Kīhei Road, 808.879.0004, www.sanseihawaii.com

The Center’s latest display, “Humpbacks of Hawai‘i Exhibit & Sphere,” is a perfect example of this nascent transformation. “It’s literally a virtual whale encounter,” says Vuori, Maui Ocean Center’s general manager. “It brings our guests eye-to-eye with humpback whales like never before.”
