Top Things to Do on Maui
1) Enjoy a scenic island drive
Set out in the early morning hours and head toward the heavenly town of Hana on Maui’s famous Hana Highway. Winding around Mt. Haleakala, one of two volcanoes that make up the island, you’ll take in amazing views and see the ever-changing landscape of Maui. From hidden beaches and scenic lookouts to locally owned food stands and rainbow eucalyptus trees, the island as a whole has so much to offer, and a day on the Road to Hana gives you one of the most comprehensive ways to experience it.
2) Authentic Hawaiian Luau
Almost as well known as the beaches, a Hawaiian luau is a celebration that dates back to ancient Hawaii. Sure, the food has changed a bit, but the staples remain the same and the dancing and music reflect traditions that have been passed down through generations. An all-you-can-eat luau buffet is one of the many highlights of the evening, featuring kalua pork, poi, fresh island fish and many more island favorites. Perfect for all ages, each luau offers its own post-dinner show, and visitors can also compare different Hawaii luaus before choosing the best fit for their Maui vacation.
3) Breathtaking Sunrise and Sunset on Haleakala
Making up the entire southeastern segment of the island, Haleakala is visible from nearly every part of Maui. The highest peak of the volcano rises 10,023 feet above sea level and provides some of the most beautiful panoramic views on the island. Words can hardly describe the scenery from Maui’s highest point, from the changing colors in the sky to the unique natural formations found on the slopes of the volcano. Guided tours are available at both sunrise and sunset and are a definite must for your trip.
4) Fun Ocean Activities
Snorkeling off Maui’s coast is thought to be some of the best in all of Hawaii. An abundance of colorful tropical fish live on the reefs surrounding the island, and our snorkel tours take you to the best places to find them. Hawaiian green sea turtles often make appearances, and we even feature dolphin watching tours that let you see dolphins in their natural habitat. For those wishing to take it easy and enjoy the views, an evening dinner cruise should be at the top of your list, with complimentary dinner and cocktails, plus onboard entertainment while you cruise along the coast.
