Things to do in Maui
Haleakala
It’s worth the early wake-up call to watch the sun rise over the volcanic crater.
Molokini Crater
One of the best snorkeling trips you can take on Maui. It’s home to giant sea turtles, whales and rock formations.
Surfing
To watch pro surfers, head to Honolulu Bay and Ho’okipa Beach. For beginners, try The Cove at Kalama Beach Park.
Road to Hana
Drive along this road with frequent cool stops such as waterfalls, bamboo forests and stunning coastal vistas.
Waterfalls
Maui has plenty of waterfalls including Wailua Fallas.
Mama's fish house
This is known as “the” place to eat on the island. It specializes in seafood and the aesthetic is classically Polynesian.
Luau
Enjoy a traditional Hawaiian feast and cultural celebration featuring music, dance and delicious island cuisine.
Beaches
Hawaii has some of the world’s most beautiful beaches and Maui has no shortage of them. My favorite is Wailea!
Places to eat & drink in Maui
Coconut’s Fish Cafe
The Fish Tacos are a must, but if you’ve had it and want to go back the next day for more, try the Ono!!
