Things to do in Maui
So many not to miss things to do while on the Island.
Road to Hana
Book a tour or rent a jeep and spend the day winding the road to Hana. Stop at little stands along the way, don't skip on the homemade banana bread, or just enjoy the beautiful waterfalls and foliage.
Snorkeling Molokini Crater
Go to Viator.com or reach out to your advisor and book a Catamaran tour to the Crater, and if you plan the timing of your trip, you might just get to see the Maui whale migration while on your excursion.
While at one of the many beautiful beaches in Maui, whether on the Kaanapali side or Wailea side, be sure and check out the black and red sand beaches. Many visitors stop and watch the windsurfing or if up for an adventure, try it out for themselves!
Places to eat & drink in Maui
Tommy Bahamas Restaurant & Bar
Perfect for happy hour and watching the sunset! Don't miss out on the coconut cake for dessert.
Mama's Fish House
A classic in Old Town Lahaina, across the street from the iconic banyan tree. This is an order at the counter restaurant, that is very casual with amazing food!
Gazebo Restaurant Napili Shores
A Breakfast Not to be missed! Huge pancakes and amazing French toast to carb up for the day ahead! The wait gets long, so get there early if possible.
