Lava flow South of Makena

Maui’s last volcanic eruption took place in 1790 the laval flow reached the pacific ocean.   The lava is dark in color and has left it’s mark on land and ocean.  

Take a right and follow Hwy 31 until it turns into a narrow very windy road.   If you have an extra hour turn into Makena Landing and you will find Keawala’a Church which was built in 1838.  Another great beach with surf at the end of that road is Malu’aka Beach.  Awesome!    This is also the location of the Maui Prince Hotel at Makena Resort. 

It only takes 10 minutes to drive there so take your time.   The road is very windy and narrow so stay close to the right.  You will find places to pull over and take in the amazing Lava flow.  Watch your step if you decide to walk on the lava rocks.  They are very sharp, jagged and could cut your shoes. Most of the residental homes in the area are blended in with the terrain by using the lava rocks to make fences, walls and rock gardens.
