We Know How to Have the Most Exciting Adventures on Maui

When it comes to vacation, many people get tired of visiting the same places year after year. It’s only natural to crave something new and exciting! If you want to have the adventure of a lifetime, you need to visit Maui, Hawaii. This incredible island is jam-packed with things to do and see! Whether it’s the famous Road to Hana or the coral reefs of Molokini Crater, an unforgettable experience awaits each day. Here are some of our favorite adventures on Maui.

5 of the Best Adventures on Maui

1. Snorkeling

With hundreds of species marine animals and some of the clearest ocean on the planet, Maui snorkeling is a popular activity for locals and visitors alike. Guests can swim alongside rare Hawaiian sea turtles, explore coral reefs, and admire the striking beauty of volcanic lava formations. You can even book a snorkel charter or head out on your own. Popular snorkel spots include Turtle Town, Honolua Bay, Molokini Crater, and Coral Gardens.

2. Jungle Hikes

Hiking through Maui’s lush tropical rainforest is one of the best ways to add some adventure to your trip. There are countless well-marked trails on the island to choose from, including the popular Pipiwai Trail. Guests are welcome to explore solo or with an experienced guide. They can show you wild fruits, hidden waterfalls, and other points of interest that you’d never see on your own!

Another magical place to hike is through the ancient forests of Iao Valley. This is the site of the Battle of Kepaniwai, where over ten thousand warriors fought for control of the island. Feel free to travel a few easy trails or take a steep climb to the lookout for Iao Needle. The view is well worth the effort! Read our blog about Iao Valley State Park for more information.

3. Airplane Tours

If you want to see Maui from above, the best way to do so is on an airplane tour. You’ll discover the rugged volcanoes and deep valleys that have made our island famous! Volcano Air Tours is a top-notch tour company that flies over Hawaii Volcanoes National Park. Keep your eyes peeled for Madame Pele, the world’s most active volcano, and Haleakala, the world’s largest dormant volcano. Air Maui Helicopter Tours is another great option that flies over Hana and West Maui. Don’t forget to bring your camera!

4. Waterfall Rappelling
