Planning a trip to Maui? There’s a lot to see and even more to do. Maui offers everything from traditional Hawaiian lū‘au to boat and helicopter tours. Here are four activities too fun not to try.

4 Top Activities to Try on Maui

1. Boat & Snorkeling Tours

The boat tours in Maui offer everything from snorkeling to catching your own dinner! If you’re looking for a unique adventure, check out Trilogy Excursions. They have an array of different boat excursions available! From snorkeling, sunset dining, whale watching and fireworks show they have many boat activity options.

If you prefer staying close to your resort, many of Maui’s hotels and resorts offer free snorkeling gear for guests. While snorkeling, you might catch a glimpse of some of Maui’s underwater life, like the whales or Hawaiian green sea turtle.

2. Hawaiian Lū‘au

A Hawaiian lū‘au offers a fun introduction to the native islanders’ culture. The celebratory feast features traditional Hawaiian food like kālua pig, poke, and poi, along with hula dancing for entertainment.

3. Helicopter Tours

Ready to see Maui from a bird’s eye point of view? Book a helicopter tour to see Maui’s landscape. Tours can last up to two hours and are available for the whole island or specific routes. Fly over the nearby island of Moloka‘i or the valleys and waterfalls in West Maui. Get an unbeatable view of the world’s largest dormant volcano, Haleakalā. If you’re traveling during November to May, you might even see a humpback whale.

4. The Beach

Hawaiian Lū‘auTake some time to unwind at Maui’s beaches, which are renowned around the world. Ho‘okipa Beach, is known for their wind surfing. Many people come to this beach to watch the wind surfers, catch the breeze and even see turtles year-round.

For a more family-friendly experience, head to Keawakapu Beach. The white sand beach is less frequented than others and a popular swimming spot. You can rent snorkeling gear and paddleboards. Just keep an eye on the conditions during the winter since the beach can receive large swells.

If you’re headed to Maui and want a taste of traditional Hawaiian culture, visit Old Lāhaina Lū‘au. Named “Best Luau” by Maui News and “Best of Maui” by the Maui Times, this award-winning show will provide you with an unforgettable experience. Check out their website or call them at (808) 667-1998 to make reservations.
