We were there a year ago and drove past Hana to the National Park. At that time you couldn't drive much beyond there.

We drove past Kapalua for about an hour, but didn't complete the circle tour. The road narrows and twists & turns. It was very scenic, but I'm not sure I'd make the trip with a baby. If he/she gets fussy during the trip it could be very stressful. But if the baby has adjusted to the new environment and likes car rides, it is a beautiful drive.

I wouldn't do the ride to Hana with a baby. It takes nearly an hour just to get there!

Are you sure the shuttle doesn't allow strollers? I'm fairly certain I saw people bringing strollers on board. Certainly they brought shopping bags.

I think some owners complained so they said no strollers.
We might try to do the Hana trip tomorrow. I think my baby would be ok but I think she will complain coming back from Hana. Maybe we will make frequent stops.
What is the island that is in the front of WKORV?

Is the picnic with Sugar train worth $25/person?

We took the sugar cane train with my son, who was an avid train buff, when he was nine. His comment "What a waste of time and money!" The ride was slow and boring, and they kept trying to sell us things-photos, leis, coconut milk, etc. We did see a pretty sunset from the train, but we could have seen the same thing for free from our lanai.

Time is going so fast here at Maui. I wish it would go little bit slower.

From my experience, it's never long enough!!
When do you head for Oahu? How's the weather been on Maui?

Drive to Hana was great. Baby was tired little bit and was cranky comming back but she liked all the hike.
I think it was little more dried up than I expected.
There was sign at the National park not to continue the loop, so we turned back and drove back.
Driving back was better than driving towards the Park.
There are many single lanes but it wasn't as bad as the other loop.

The small ones that goes into the storage space above is allowed. The big ones, I think they disallowed.
