Four Don't-Miss Activities In Maui

By Ella Hemmings


For travelers that are considering a trip to the island of Maui, days lounging by the beach undoubtedly are listed on your itinerary already. There are certainly plenty of amazing beaches to enjoy, but there's more to Maui and here are a few activities that you also might want to consider.

1. Catch The Sunrise At The Top Of Haleakala

Haleakala is an inactive volcano, and you can spend time hiking around and exploring the crater, but for a real treat, plan a sunrise trip to this mountain top. The views are amazing and it's well worth rising before the dawn. If you arrive around 5 a.m., not only will you catch the sunrise, you also are likely to see some pretty amazing stars. Alternatively, you can watch the sunset at Haleakala, but most people prefer the spectacular beauty of the sunrise.

2. Find Your Way To Hana

When it comes to visiting the tiny hamlet of Hana, the trip is more about the journey than the destination. This little seaside town has fewer than 1,300 residents and is accessible only by State Highway 360, otherwise known as the Hana Highway. While it's only about 45 miles from the town of Paia (where one typically begins the journey) to Hana, this is a trip that easily can take 10 or more hours. The road is windy and narrow with many one-lane bridges. The scenery is spectacular and you can stop at various places to enjoy the view, hike to a waterfall or swim in the ocean. If you want to really enjoy the journey, you can book a hotel stay in Hana and then drive to and from the town at your leisure.

3. Enjoy The Island From A Different Perspective

After you have enjoyed the view from the beach, from Haleakala and along the coast on your way to Hana, it's time to change your perspective. So hop on a boat or book a kayaking tour and take to the sea. You are sure to see whales and other wildlife, as well as enjoying vistas of Maui from the sea.

4. Get Married

Every year, thousands of couples get married in Maui. While it might seem like a destination wedding is out of your reach financially, these types of weddings can be more affordable than you think. After all, a destination wedding trims the guest list and the cost of the reception. Plus, you definitely will need to hire a Maui wedding planner, and that makes the whole process much easier.

If you wish to get married or renew your vows in Maui, a wedding planning service such as Love Maui Weddings can be a great help. They can plan and prepare for virtually any size wedding, and you can choose to hold your wedding at the beach, at a historic chapel, at a luxury resort, a historic plantation or another scenic spot. This Maui wedding planning service also offers several wedding packages to consider, which truly makes the whole process a snap.
