The Needle — Local services in Maui

Old school tourist point of interest. Don't get me wrong: mother nature is beautiful. However, the facilities are from the 1970s (old walkways that meander to create excitement before the big reveal), and I believe it costs $5 per person to enter.

In the moment you'll say, well, you're only here once, so we might as well! You can reason that the $5 dollars go to the islands....

Nice little drive to this tourist spot though the jungle and nice drive though mountains. Great landscape around the mountain. Very well organised and safe to walk with great view.
