Top Things to do in Maui
10 Sacred & Religious Sites in Maui That You Shouldn't Miss
The Hawaiian island of Maui is a destination for true nature lovers. The ethereal bamboo forest and churning waterfalls in Haleakala National Park can be explored via the Waimoku Falls Trail. Stretch out on warm, golden sands or hit the surf for an unforgettable windsurfing or snorkeling session. Driving the scenic road to Hana along the island’s northeastern shore will be among the most spectacular journeys of your life. Time stands still at the Hawaiian village of Keanae, definitely worth a visit.

4.5 based on 28 reviews
Both Waiola (which means "Water of Life") Church and the Waiola (or Waine'e) Graveyard next to it figure heavily into Maui's history. Many important figures from the early days of Hawaiian colonization are buried here, the famous next to the unknown, and perhaps more importantly, the Hawaiian next to the Western.

Waiola Cemetary is listed on the walking tour billboards throughout historical Lahaina town. This is a well-tended and well-loved graveyard with significant historical roots of royalty and Hawai’ian people. On most Saturday mornings you will find the caretakers of the cemetary working hard to keep it beautiful. Drop by and speak with these friendly people. They will likely take the time to give you some of the history of both the graveyard and church. Queen Keopuolani and other royal family members are buried here. Keopuolani was the highest ranking wife of Kamehameha I. She founded the Waiola Church which is well worth a visit on Sunday mornings for worship. Be prepared to stay after church for a real local, homemade meal and friendly conversation, Hawai’ian style.

I'm not really a church goer, but was on a long walk and saw the door to this small church was open. It was a cool peaceful haven from some of the overdevelopment of Lahaina. The original paintings inside and the stained glass is charming. Absolutely lovely.

I am already saved, but I felt saved again when I attended a service on the beach! Is that a thing? I dunno... Seriously, Maui is so beautiful so to enjoy God's Creation at church is inspiring. We watched Whales jumping and sea turtles running into a snorkeler while listening to the pastor. It was awesome!

This visit was a birthday gift. Wasn't what I had expected. Our guide was quite knowledgeable and personable. Learned so much about the Hawaiian history, its people, the vegetation, the islanders life beliefs, etc. And, the place is beautiful.
