Ulupalakua Scenic Overlook
About
Ulupalakua Scenic Overlook in Maui sits at 10-549 HI-37, Kula, HI 96790, United States, on the island's upcountry slope. The overlook occupies a high point along the highway, with the surrounding landscape opening out below.
A 4.8 out of 5 rating from 65 reviews marks it as a well-regarded stop on the Kula route. Lahaina, Kihei, Paia, Kaanapali, Wailea, Hana, Makawao and Wailuku all sit within the island's wider area. First-time visitors should expect a roadside pull-off rather than a developed attraction with facilities.
Hawaii's wetter season runs from November to March, with a drier stretch from April to October, and the island's windward and leeward coasts differ sharply in rainfall. Kula sits on the leeward side, which tends to be the drier of the two. The Hawaiian monk seal and green sea turtle live in Hawaiian waters and haul out on its beaches, though the overlook itself sits inland.
The 4.8 out of 5 score from 65 reviews reflects how consistently visitors have rated the stop. Since no road or regular ferry links the Hawaiian islands, travel between them is by air, so the overlook fits most naturally into a single-island Maui itinerary. Upcountry Maui's elevation gives it a cooler feel than the coast, which is worth bearing in mind when packing.
