Maui Activities

Haleakala Sunrise

Whether you enjoy a relaxing vacation or an active one, activities on Maui include everything you could possibly desire. You could take to the air for a breathtaking helicopter ride over Haleakala Crater, then along the northeast coast of the island to what is affectionately called "Heavenly Hana" with its rainforests and cascading waterfalls; or plunge 100 feet into the island's enchanting undersea world in a submarine where you'll see exotic fish, rare coral formations, sharks and even giant sea turtles. Then there is snorkeling at Molokini for an unforgettable experience, with the opportunity to see, in the wild, fish and sea life you have only seen in aquariums.

Trip up Haleakala to experience the unbelievable sight of the sun

Watch the sun rise at Haleakala then hop on a bike and experience the world's longest down hill bike course of 38 miles. You could also saddle up and ride like a Paniolo, or Hawaiian cowboy, at the Haleakala Ranch, Maui's largest operating cattle ranch, or learn to surf, the sport of Hawaii, with Maui being one of the best places to learn how. How about experiencing the island with a kayak? You can paddle in the calm ocean currents, snorkel near protected Hawaiian green sea turtles and have an adventure to remember. Or perhaps you'd rather hike through a forest, into a canyon and along a mountain stream, where you can stop off to enjoy a dip under a waterfall.

The sport of Hawaii, with Maui being one of the best places to learn

If you're looking for something less active, check out Maui's world-class aquarium, rated by Zaget as the Top-Rated Attraction in Hawaii. Take a dinner cruise or sunset cruise and see the lush coastline of Maui with rainbows, waterfalls and simply beautiful sights. You could wake at 3:30 am for a trip up Haleakala to experience the unbelievable sight of the sun as it rises above the rim of the crater, simply unforgettable.

For great entertainment, see one of the very best shows on all the islands that brings Hawaii to life through dance, song, acrobatics, and dazzling special effects - definitely an experience not to miss; or spend a few house with a ghost and wonderful magician in a show that will keep you spellbound. Whatever adventures you choose to experience, they will stay with you a lifetime - after all, this is the magical, mystical island of Maui.
