Best Maui Activities

These top Maui activities were rated by the Maui Information Guide as the best activities in Maui. Originally 10, we had to share more. Enjoy!

• Helicopter Tours

  Maui Helicopter Tours allow you to explore sea cliffs, waterfalls, Haleakala Crater and beautiful coastline from the air. Some trips will take you to outer islands like the Big Island of Hawaii and Moloka'i too!

  

• Bike Maui

  Biking has been enjoyed by countless visitors looking for some excitement while learning about Maui, exploring new areas, and watching sunrise from the most amazing spot in the world. Take a trip to the summit of Haleakala Crater and experience one of Maui's most popular activities.

  

• Maui Ziplines

  Ziplining has become the next big thing on Maui, and why not?! What better place to zip over and through lush forest and tropical farms with ocean and mountain views? Maui is home to many zipling courses with different styles. We highly recommend ziplining with either Skyline Eco Adventures or Maui Zipline Company.

  

Top 25 Best Maui Activities

• Maui Fishing

  Maui Fishing is unparalleled for the quality and quantity of fish in our waters. Enjoy a relaxing day on the water, get some sun, have some fun, and come home with some fish to cook up. These trips often pay for themselves, considering the amount of fish you can take home.

  

• Chef's Table

  Maui Chef’s Table merges innovative chefs with an open-concept kitchen, the island’s freshest ingredients, and a breathtaking setting—thus raising the bar on the standard fine dining experience. Held on select weekend evenings at the Maui Tropical Plantation in Waikapū, this culinary celebration sells out fast—and is impossible to forget.

  

• Maui Shows

  Live music and outdoor movies at Maui's most scenic venue is a must while visiting The Valley Isle. The Mill House at Maui Tropical Plantation offers exciting monthly events and live music performances backed by the West Maui Mountains. Go early to enjoy a delicious dinner and craft cocktails at The Mill House Restaurant!

• Maui Rappeling

  Experience Maui's waterfalls like never before by rappelling down them with Rappel Maui. These expert guides will take you on a journey to explore the lush jungles along Maui's famed Road to Hana. No need for climbing gear, they provide it all so you can focus on safely enjoying and traversing the landscape.

  

• Maui Snorkeling

  Snorkeling in Maui can be done from the shore or from a boat. Some of the best snorkeling is at Molokini Crater (only accessed by boat.) This volcanic atoll is protected inside from currents that can mix up the water and hurt visual clarity. It's also a marine sanctuary, so lots of fish! You can also snorkel from the shore and likely run into plenty of fish and turtles.

  

• Maui Massage

  Massage in Maui will change your world! Visiting Hawaii should always be about relaxing. Exploring our island can be a lot of fun, but stopping to get rid of your mainland knots is worth every minute. We suggest Massage Maui in north Kihei because of their skilled masseuses.

  

• Maui Hiking

  Hiking on Maui is one of the best ways to see the island. From hikes with panoramic views of Maui, to hiking through lush bamboo forests to reach hidden waterfalls on Maui's north shore, Hike Maui provides personal tour guides for your next adventure in paradise.

  

• Road to Hana

  The Road to Hana is a must for Maui visitors. Travel through lush forest, along rugged volcanic coastline, and next to the most picturesque waterfalls in the world. There are many ways to experience the Road to Hana: renting a car with a CD guide, taking a van tour, exploring by yourself with GPS, and even camping!

  

• Maui Craft Tours

  For those 16 and up (21 and up for alcohol tasting), you can experience Maui in a completely unique way by touring around with a guide to farms, distilleries, breweries and wineries. Don't be surprised if you find that after a day of eating, drinking and being merry you come out with a new appreciation for our warm and creative artisans.

  

• Maui Surfing

  Maui Surf Lessons are a lot of fun and great excersize. There are almost always small waves somewhere on the island that suit learning perfectly. Experienced instructors can give you 1 on 1 instructions in the water. Catch a wave, build your confidence, and have a blast. There are plenty of opportunities for photos too!

  

• Maui Luaus

  We love Maui luaus for many reasons: A delicous feast, sunset over the ocean, great music, fire dancing, hula and stories of Hawaiian and Polynesian history and legend. It's the perfect activity for the entire family.

  

• Whale Watching

  Maui Whale Watching is some of the best in the world because every year thousands of Humpback Whales come to Maui in order to breed or give birth. The competitive surface behavior from Humpback males will blow you away! Whale watching has quickly become our favorite winter activity. (Approx. December 15th- May)

  

• Haleakala Volcano

  Whether you go to witness a stunning sunrise above the cloud line, hike into the crater of the world’s largest dormant volcano, bike down the slopes or stay after sunset to stargaze in an otherworldly landscape, a visit to Maui’s own Haleakala Volcano - or ‘House of the Sun’ - should be on every traveler’s Maui bucket list.
