Wailuku, Hawaii, beautiful, Gorgeous, Home! 5 rating By Anonymous ( May 23, 2018) What can I say about living in Wailuku? It truly is paradise on earth. Every day is waking up to pure beauty, with fantastic ocean views, beautiful beaches, and sunsets that you just must see for yourself to believe they are real.

There is plenty to do here with the Maui Ocean ...Read More Center which is an aquarium with all kinds of exotic oceanic life. There are several parks to visit here, the wilderness is vast, or you can take a trip out on the ocean for the day enjoying the simplicity of life out on the water under the open sky.

My favorite thing to do is visit the ranch. You can spend the day horseback riding on the beach and to me, that is the best thing ever! The calm, gentleness of these animals walking so gallantly next to one of the worlds most beautiful oceans is such an unique experience. I treasure every opportunity that I get to go horseback riding on the beach! Read Less
