Four Don't-Miss Activities In Maui

By Ella Hemmings


While all the Hawaiian islands have their charms, Maui offers an abundance of fun activities for travelers. While you might expect to spend your vacation days at the beach, there are plenty of other options to consider that will help you really get to know this island and create some beloved memories.

1. Take A Morning Hike To Haleakala

Haleakala is an inactive volcano, and you can spend time hiking around and exploring the crater, but for a real treat, plan a sunrise trip to this mountain top. The views are amazing and it's well worth rising before the dawn. If you arrive around 5 a.m., not only will you catch the sunrise, you also are likely to see some pretty amazing stars. Alternatively, you can watch the sunset at Haleakala, but most people prefer the spectacular beauty of the sunrise.

2. Journey Down The Road To Hana

We've all seen those bumper stickers proclaiming, "I Survived the Road to Hana," and while it's a bit tongue in cheek, this 45-mile highway journey definitely can be a bit perilous. Winding through rain forests and along the rugged coastline, the road to the town of Hana takes a considerable amount of time to traverse. One reason is because of the narrow, windy road and also because there are more than 40 one-lane bridges to cross. In addition, you definitely will want to stop many times along the way. The views are picture-perfect and you can find waterfalls, enjoy the waves and take tons of great pictures. Generally, it is recommended that you plan on spending at least eight hours on this journey, and there are almost no services from Paia (the town where you truly begin the journey) to Hana, so pack up a lunch, water, some towels and some snacks.

3. Enjoy The Island From A Different Perspective

After you have enjoyed the view from the beach, from Haleakala and along the coast on your way to Hana, it's time to change your perspective. So hop on a boat or book a kayaking tour and take to the sea. You are sure to see whales and other wildlife, as well as enjoying vistas of Maui from the sea.

4. Get Married

Couples flock to Maui every year in search of romance, and what could be more romantic than enjoying a Maui wedding or perhaps a vow renewal? Surprisingly, a destination wedding can be very affordable, especially since you typically have a small guest list. Your reception costs are greatly reduced because you simply don't have as many guests to accommodate. In addition, a wedding planner definitely is a necessity but this service means you don't have to handle all those pesky wedding details.

At Love Maui Weddings, this team of Maui wedding planners has been helping couples plan weddings of all sizes, as well as elopements and vow renewals for more than 25 years. They can help you plan a beachfront ceremony, a ceremony at a botanical garden, at an oceanfront resort or anywhere your heart desires.
