#COOLEST THINGS TO DO IN MAUI PLUS#
You will likely rise early anyway because of the time difference so it won’t feel like you are sacrificing zzzs on your vacation!Ĭheck out this popular Haleakala sunrise plus breakfast tour: hotel pick-up and drop-off are included, as well as entrance fees. If you want to experience the out-of-this-world sunrise at Haleakala, schedule it for day one or two of your trip from mainland USA. It can be freezing cold at the top even when it’s hot on the island floor. You’ll hear varying opinions on which is the better time to go, but I think either option is fantastic if you are lucky enough to be there when the sky lights up in all shades of pink and orange and purple. Sunrise or sunset? We’ve seen gorgeous photos of both sunrise and sunset at Haleakala.
Plus, the lush vegetation, colorful flowers, and the sweeping views of the ocean make it a joy just to be in Maui.
Searching for memorable bucket-list experiences? Take a helicopter tour over the island, or marvel at the bright coral reef and hundreds of bright-colored fish in the blue waters on a snorkeling excursion. Want to do some adrenaline-pumping hikes? Go to the top of the largest dormant volcano in the world for an epic hike into the crater. Looking for beaches? Here you will find not just white, but gold, red, and black sand beaches. You will be spoiled for choice when it comes to amazing things to do in Maui. It is younger in age than Kauai and Oahu, but older than the Big Island. Maui is the second largest island in the Hawaiian archipelago. Every subsequent visit to Maui has only reinforced that feeling! The Best Things to Do in Maui We first visited Maui in 2014 (for 10 days), and fell irrevocably in love with the beauty of the Valley Isle. The first image that comes to mind when you think of Maui is probably sun, sand, and sea, and Maui’s beautiful beaches are definitely a huge reason why it is considered a tropical paradise.īut Maui is so much more than beautiful beaches! Your Maui bucket list can span everything from lush waterfalls to lavender farms and volcanic craters to botanic gardens. Lush and beautiful Wai’anapanapa State Park is a top Maui attraction!
