The Iao Valley

Beautiful Iao Valley located a short drive from Wailuku has a lost place kind of feel. Stunning views of rolling clouds, towering green cliffs and ocean views from the west end Maui mountains. It is a special place not only for its spectacular scenery but also for its spiritual value.

Tao Valley is part of this ahupua'a. As one of Maui's most important political centers, many battles took place here. Wailuku translates as the "waters of destruction" and refers to its history of battles and floods.'
