On an island teeming with seemingly endless possibilities, planning activities while visiting Maui can be a little overwhelming. As an adventure tour paradise, Maui has visual and physical experiences that are second-to-none. A simple internet search for Maui activities could have you surfing online for days. How do you choose among such tantalizing options as zip-lining, snorkeling, hiking, parasailing, luaus, and so much more?
If your time is limited here, make the most of your Maui adventure by selecting three things: do something on land, on the water, and up in the air. Here are just a few of the fun options that await you!
1. Air Adventures
These activities will create lasting memories for those seeking that extra pump of adrenaline from their vacation:
- Helicopter tours provide a unique way to see the islands of Maui and Moloka'i from above, and you can’t beat the view from up there.
- Go parasailing off the coast of Lahaina if you’d like to feel the wind in your face (May–November)
- A zip line tour can take you from tree to tree through tropical vistas.
- A Haleakala sunrise or sunset atop the 10,000 foot summit is a must-see. Your feet will be on the ground, but you’ll feel like you’re flying.
2. Ocean Adventures
With the shallow 'Au'au Channel between Maui, Moloka'i and Lānaʻi, ocean enthusiasts have a virtual playground:
- Snorkeling at famous Molokini or lesser-known Honolua Bay or Lānaʻi can make you feel like you are swimming in an aquarium.
- Whale watching can get you up close and personal with one of the largest mammals on Earth. (January–May)
- A sunset cruise can set the perfect tone for a romantic evening.
- Deep-sea fishing is an often overlooked activity, which gets you into the nitty-gritty of ocean life and provides a real taste of the sea.
3. Land Adventures
Maui is full of great hikes and scenic drives leading you through jungles to breathtaking waterfalls and awe-inspiring views:
- The Road to Hana is the crown jewel, with its lush rainforests, rugged coastlines, and countless waterfalls and pools.
- Iao Valley is a treasure because of its historical significance and natural environment, which is easily accessible to anyone.
- Hiking or horseback riding can offer some jaw-dropping landscapes—be sure to avoid private property and go with an experienced guide.
- A luau is almost a rite of passage while visiting Maui, with the abundant food, drinks, and Polynesian dancing.
Feel confident that you won’t have a sudden case of FOMO (Fear Of Missing Out) while you make the most of your visit to Maui.
