Maui is one of the most popular family vacation spots because of its stunning array of sights and activities. Whether you want to plan your entire trip now or just want some inspiration, add the following items to your list.

4 Maui Activities for Your Vacation

1. Air Tours

The only way to grasp the full scope of Maui’s beauty is by air. A helicopter tour takes you to the remote West Maui Mountains to view rich greenery and cascading waterfalls. An East Maui trip takes your family over the Haleakala Crater and Hana Rainforest. You can often choose between seeing certain parts of the island or getting a complete tour.

2. Whale Watching

Humpback whales travel for six weeks from Alaska to Maui to enjoy the warm, tropical waters. There, these mammals can be spotted off the coast where they rest and breed, creating the world’s densest North Pacific Humpback population. You may also encounter false killer whales, melon head whales, and other species on your whale watching trip. December to April is the best time for viewing because of the winter migration.

3. Snorkeling

Snorkeling gives you a close look at the diverse underwater ecosystem of the island. Options include reef adventures around the Molokini Crater or swimming with Hawaiian Green Sea Turtles and dolphins. Snorkeling is often included in day-long excursions that also provide meals, entertainment, and access to an onboard naturalist.

4. Zipline Tours

If you want a more exhilarating view of Maui, schedule a zipline tour. The tree-top tour shoots you over the landscape, capturing views of Makawao, Upcountry Maui, the North Shore, and Kahakapao Valley up to 40 mph. These activities often include nature hiking along the zipline tours for those who want a more relaxed experience.
