The View From Here
Diverse terrain from the mountains to the sea, Maui is an island of endless discovery. Scenic drives along the Pacific, picture-perfect white sand beaches, and natural beauty that consumes the senses. Savor these moments with an iconic cup of locally harvested coffee, go on an adventurous whale-watching tour, or catch some waves at the island's famous surf spots. Allow us to lead you to our list of must-not-miss sights and things to do for an unforgettable Maui adventure.

Water Sports
The ocean beckons. Spend days gliding on a stand-up paddleboard while tropical fish swim below you and turtles peep up for fresh air. Go kayaking for stunning views of the island with vantage points from the water. For a different point of view, go below the surface and snorkel where the reefs and marine life are alive in what feels like a different world.



Take a Hike
From bamboo forests and majestic waterfalls on the Pipiwai Trail, to the beachside paths at the Kapalua Coastal Trail—Maui has an abundance of invigorating hiking destinations. Immerse yourself in nature and reconnect as you let your mind fill with wonder and awe.

Lahaina
The town of Lahaina was once a whaling village and the capital of the Hawaiian Kingdom. Though its history is rich in heritage and culture, it has become an energetic hotspot of activity. Visit historic landmarks and watch humpback whales swim by during the winter. Stroll along Lahaina's Front Street, a walkable mix of eclectic shops, galleries, bars, and restaurants.

Haleakala National Park
Haleakala, Maui's highest peak, is located within Haleakala National Park. Meaning "House of The Sun" in Hawaiian, Haleakala is where legend says demigod Maui lassoed the sun to slow its pace to provide more daylight for the people. At almost 10,000 feet above sea level, Haleakala is a popular attraction for viewing spectacular sunrises and sunsets. Beyond views from the peak, Haleakala National Park encompasses over 30 miles of magnificent hiking trails of all levels. You can plan a full day trip, or carve out time for a short trail to experience a bit of this natural wonder.

Upcountry
Journey up through the misty highlands of Haleakala, affectionately referred to as Upcountry. Sweet lavender and eucalyptus-scented air blends with stunning views of rolling hills. Tour lavender farms, visit Maui’s only winery, stroll through parks and gardens, and indulge at Upcountry's charming eateries and boutiques.

Road to Hana
A popular "bucket list" destination, the Road to Hana is literally that—a road (Hana Highway) that leads to the peaceful town of Hana. What makes it spectacular is the picturesque route upon a narrow winding road that opens up to endless pockets of breathtaking scenery. Zip through hairpin turns and lush rainforests that reveal flowing waterfalls that plunge into the ocean. You'll want to slow down and take your time on this drive—it's an adventure that requires patience and respect, for both taking in the views and for other drivers sharing the road.

Luau
Preparing food and sharing meals are a significant part of Hawaiian culture, where meaningful experiences and connections are formed over dining with family and friends. Take a journey through Hawaii and beyond at a luau, where the tradition of feasting together is fused with immersive stoytelling of Polynesia through dance and music.
