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.
