Below we’ve shared a bunch of fun things to do on Maui.

There are endless things to do in Maui, so we decided to put together some popular with visitors and our own favorite activities and attractions.

Maui Luaus

No trip to Maui is complete without at least 1 luau experience. There are around a dozen different luaus available on Maui, many of which offer authentic feasts, live music, hula dancing, cultural craft-making displays, historic narration, tropical cocktails, Imu ceremony, and fire knife dancing. Choose the right luau for you and your family, and you’ll be back again next time.

Maui Sailing Adventures

Sit back, relax, and enjoy panoramic views of Maui’s gorgeous scenery with one of Trilogy’s famous sunset catamaran cruises, like the daily Kaanapali or South Maui sunset sails or weekly Aloha Friday sunset sail! Appetizers, alcoholic beverages, and live music included. The perfect activity for all ages & a great way to see Maui’s beauty from the water!

Whale Watching

In the winter season, Humpback whales migrate across the globe to Maui waters in order to mate and give birth. At peak season, it’s very difficult to look out at the ocean and not see some kind of surface behavior by these huge mammals. Watching them from a boat breaching nearby, singing their songs below you, and enjoying a good sail while you’re at it is worth the world.

Maui Rafting Adventures

Take your snorkeling adventure to the next level with Redline Rafting. Hop aboard the fastest raft on Maui and cruise to the front and backside of Molokini Crater, La Perouse Bay to see the Hawaiian Spinner Dolphins, and snorkel with sea turtles at Turtle Town. Experience the waves and great views of South Maui from the raft, which offers a more adventurous and less crowded way to get out on the water!

Helicopter Tours

By far, the most memorable way to explore Maui is from the seat of a helicopter. Maui is home to great expanses of rugged terrain impossible to reach by foot or car. The West Maui Mountains are flecked with lush canyons, misty peaks, and towering waterfalls. Meanwhile, the multiple facets of Mount Haleakala are studded with epic desert landscapes and verdant stream-cut valleys. There is an abundance of excursions on offer at Helicopter Tours, one of Hawaii’s leading tour and travel agencies.
