Whether you go on vacation seeking relaxation or adventure, you can find both on Maui. With so much to do, you may struggle to choose which activities to prioritize once you leave the comfort of the hotel room. Use the following guide to create an itinerary and discover what to do during a visit to Lahaina.

A Guide to Activities in Lahaina

1. Enjoy the Water

There are many aquatic activities to experience between Ka’anapali Beach and Napili Beach. The former is more active due to its consistent waves, allowing you to try windsurfing or paddleboarding. When you’ve had enough of the water, you can do some shopping and get a bite to eat at one of the many delicious restaurants nearby.

Napili Beach is, in contrast, more easygoing. Since the waves are calm, you can easily swim around or become acquainted with ocean life while snorkeling.

2. Revel at a Luau

Experience the oldest luau in Maui, the Royal Lahaina Luau, as the dancers, musicians, and food offerings immerse you in the story of their cultural history. The activity is a sensory delight, from the customary lei aloha welcome and bold fire knife dancers to the Kalua pork and drinks. Don’t forget to take the complimentary photos after the show with the dancers.

3. Go On a Tour

With so many ways to travel around the island, you could take several tours and find each equally exhilarating. A boat will provide a wide-angle view of the island in one of the world's best areas for whale-watching. If the aquatic mammals aren't currently visiting Maui, you can hike to find breathtaking waterfalls secluded amongst the trees. Riding on a helicopter will also allow you to experience the thrill of the island from above.

4. Stroll Through Lahaina Front Street

When you're ready to go shopping and taste the local cuisine, visit the famous Front Street. Its architecture maintains a unique character, reminiscent of its past as a whaling town. Enjoy the history and the nightlife simultaneously as you take in the art on the bustling road. As the second most visited area in all of Maui, you will soon find out why it's so popular. The eclectic variety of businesses is sure to excite you before retiring to your hotel room.
