What are the best things to do in Maui, Hawaii? We have the answer. Below we've listed Maui activities that we've personally done on more than 1 occasion and are our favorites.

Some of our favorites

Snorkeling Molokini Crater & Maui Sunset Sailing

1st off, staying at the Makena Beach and Golf Resort is a major advantage for those looking to snorkel Molokini Crater. The Kai Kanani takes off from in front of the resort with the closest path to the crater than any other vessel on Maui. You get there much faster which means you can snorkel before anyone else! Learn more about the Molokini Crater.

We also love the Kai Kanani for cocktails and sailing for a perfect Maui sunset. This is a different trip from the Molokini cruise because you leave later. Nothing beats being on the open ocean for a gorgeous sunset while being lulled by warm tropical breezes with a cold cocktail in your hand. They also have fantastic pupus for those that are hungry.
Call 808-879-7218 or visit their website at Maui Sailing.

Biking Down Haleakala Volcano

If you want to see Maui and enjoy some adventure at the same time, take a fun downhill ride on the slopes of Haleakala Volcano. You'll be taken to the summit to watch the sunset, and then you'll ride from the base of the park for miles with very little pedaling. Ride at your own page with Haleakala Bike Company, the best Maui Biking.

Attend a Maui Luau

Visiting Maui isn't complete without having experienced an authentic luau. At a luau you'll enjoy a large tropical feast, hula dancing, fire dancers, and beautiful music. Enjoy watching the sunset over the water while feasting and enjoying cocktails with friends and family. We highly recommend everyone attend a Maui Luau.

Experience the Road to Hana

I'm sure you've heard it before, and I'll say it again. Drive the Road to Hana! You don't have to go all the way to Hana Town in order to experience the beauty of this area. You'll pass beautiful waterfalls and rugged coastal rainforest. This area is incredible and shouldn't be missed. Learn more and see photos and video of the Road to Hana.

Go Whale Watching

By far the best way to see our visiting Humpback whales is by boat in Maui. The whales arrive in Maui waters in order to mate and give birth during our winter season from approximately December to April each year. Choose from this selection of Maui whale watching tours.

All of the photos taken of the Kai Kanani we're photographed in Maui by Greg Hoxsie. All other photos were taken by Natalie Brown.
