Alice in Hulaland
Rating: 
In a nutshell: An unassuming hub of the North Shore community, Paia Town has great restaurants, interesting shops, and the best natural food store on the island.
Minuses: Parking can be difficult if you don’t know where to look (pssst..we have a map with parking below the article 
)
Sound-bite: “Woah, did that sign really say “Don’t feed the hippies?!?“”

Wailua
Rating:
In a nutshell: A sleepy taro-farming town with an historic church and impressive view of the enormous Lower Waikani Falls.
Minuses: Nothing else here.
Sound-bite: “Wow, I’d like to see that every day out of my kitchen window!”
Wailua is a small village offering little for visitors than a diversion off the highway to take a few peeks at the large Lower Waikani Falls in the distance. The falls are an impressive sight, and to imagine people live with that view when they let the dog out of …
