The Road to Hana is one of Maui’s most iconic scenic drives, winding along the coast with stunning views of waterfalls, rainforests, and ocean cliffs. Along the way, you’ll find hidden hikes and local food stands that make the journey just as fun as the destination. If you’d rather sit back and enjoy the ride, this company offers guided tours that handle all the planning for you.
If you’re looking for a fun night filled with Hawaiian food, fire dancing, and tropical cocktails—this is the spot. A playful, laid-back luau with island vibes, ocean views, and lots of aloha spirit. Great for families, couples, or anyone wanting to soak in the culture (and maybe get pulled up to dance).
Shopaholics, this one’s for you! The Shops at Wailea is a vibrant outdoor shopping center filled with a mix of fun stores and great restaurants. You’ll find everything from Gucci and Sunglass Hut to Tommy Bahama, Banana Republic, Lululemon, and more. Check out their website for the full list of shops and dining options.
If you’re fascinated by the ocean and all its creatures, the Maui Ocean Center is a must-visit. It features nine massive exhibits—including a 750,000-gallon tank home to some of the ocean’s largest inhabitants. You’ll get an up-close look at sharks (from the safe side of the glass!) and learn about the rich history and traditions of Hawaii’s seafaring people—think Moana, but in real life.
No trip to Hawaii is complete without a beach day! Keawakapu Beach is known for its crystal-clear blue water and frequent sea turtle sightings. After a relaxing day in the sun, you’ll find nearby gift shops perfect for picking up souvenirs and mementos of your time in paradise.
Here’s another beautiful spot to explore: Kapalua Beach, named America’s Best Beach in 2018—and it’s easy to see why. About an hour’s drive from Kihei, this beach offers vibrant marine life and calm, clear waters. There’s also a beach activities desk on-site with a wide range of water sports equipment and activities to make the most of your visit.
