There’s the Nui Noeau Visual Arts Center to visit. Kula. Three thousand feet above sea level, almost in the clouds, you’ll find Kula, a dreamy peaceful mountainous remote community facing the ocean far below. Vegetation thrives, and you’ll find something growing at every turn, whether it be the sweet Maui onion or lush tropical flowers you’d have to pay top dollar for on the mainland. B&B’s are the best here, to get away from it all. Upcountry Maui Restuarants
