What will you pick?
Water Activities in Maui
If you are like most people, you know that one of the most popular Maui island activities is snorkeling.
Most snorkeling cruises leave from Maalaea Harbor or the Kihei Boat Ramp for Molokini, a crescent shaped volcanic crater, which is a marine life conservation area.
If you are a beginning snorkeler, you will feel comfortable in these protected waters of only 35 ft deep.
The 250 fish species, which make their home in the crystal-clear waters, will keep you busy for hours. There's even a good chance you'll encounter the splendid Bottlenose & Spinner Dolphins.
If you are a scuba diver, head to the underwater wall which sinks to 70 ft. Veteran divers can swim over to the back side of the Molokini crater which drops off to around 300 ft.
Land Activities in Maui
All Maui island activities and especially the Eco-Adventures & Nature Tours are a great way to enjoy panoramic views of the neighboring islands, the West Maui mountains, pineapple and sugar cane fields, exotic local flowers like protea, wild orchids, lavender fields, and lots of exotic fruit trees.
Don’t miss riding the world-famous 68-mile Road to Hana.
It will take you over 54 one-lane bridges and through more than 600 hairpin curves!
It will challenge you with blind turns, narrow winding roads, and distracting gorgeous views.
It’s undoubtedly the most spectacular sightseeing Maui adventure!
You’ll have the chance to enjoy countless tropical waterfalls, bamboo forests, lava flows, pineapple fields, and even a rainbow or two over spectacular ocean views on this amazing but dangerous road called "the land that time forgot".
Pack a lunch and bring lots of water, as your dinning options in Hana are few. Bring your hiking shoes and get some bug spray, as there are tons of hungry mosquitoes and other buggers that hoard near fruit trees and still waters.
Want to enjoy Maui sightseeing in style and not miss a thing? Take a tour with a certified guide on the Road to Hana in an air-conditioned luxury van for a stress-free, safe ride - you won’t regret it!
Are you a biker?
Take the ride of your life and be one of the 70,000 bikers who cruise down Haleakala volcano every year since bike tours were first introduced in the mid-1980s. This is one of the wildest activities in Maui.
To make the best of it, we recommend Haleakala Downhill Ride Tour - the best biking adventure of your life!
You will be picked up and dropped off, offered breakfast, given the bike and all the gear you need.
Your trip begins with a spectacular sunrise at the top of the crater, then you coast down to the sea level, to Paia.
As you go down 3,000 ft in 10 miles, you curve around 29 switchbacks.
All in all, you really only paddle 400 yards, the rest of the time you coast down 28 miles of paved road.
Stop often and enjoy the magnificent vistas of West Maui surrounded by the Pacific.
Here are other choices of exciting activities in Maui: working on your tan on any of the 81 beaches on the island, snorkeling in Molokini crater, going on a whale watching cruise, horseback riding up into the highlands of Hana onto the upcountry ranches, and hiking in Maui’s rainforest or above the clouds on the rim of the Haleakala crater. Pick the Halemauu or Keeneheehee to make sure you don’t miss the untamed wilderness, volcanic landscapes and cinder cones.
And don’t forget that Maui is a premier golf destination with 15 golf courses. Championship-design, challenging golf greens wait for you to practice your swing. If you’re a novice, you can take golf lessons at one of the Hawaii golf schools at almost any resort - before you know it, you’ll be almost like a pro ;)
There are endless activities in Maui - "The Magic Isle" - to fill your days and nights. They are all immensely popular, that’s why we highly recommend booking online in advance for any of these Top 10 Maui activities - you’ll not only make sure your spot is reserved, you'll also save a lot on Maui discount activities.
