Frequently Asked Questions
What is Maui Hawaii known for?
Maui is known as the “Valley Isle,” and it’s famous for its snorkeling, hiking, surfing, and adventure activities. My recommended Maui itinerary is:
Day 1: Arrive on the island, pick up your rental car, and check into your hotel or vacation home in the Wailea area. Then see a luau.
Day 2: Go on a boat tour to snorkel at the Molokini Crater in the morning. In the afternoon, go outrigger canoe surfing or take a surf lesson.
Day 3: Do a helicopter tour (my favorite is a no-doors helicopter) in the morning. Then spend the afternoon enjoying a beach or the pool at your hotel or vacation home.
Day 4: Drive The Road To Hāna – make sure you stop at Ho’okipa Beach Park, Wailua Valley State Wayside overlook (take the stairs to the right), Hanawi Falls (bring your swimsuit), Hāna Harvest, and Wai’anapanapa State Park.
Day 5: Hike the Pīpīwai Trail (moderate-difficult) in Haleakala National Park in the morning. Then spend the afternoon relaxing at a beach and the pool at your hotel or rental home.
Day 6: Fly home or to another Hawaiian Island.
What is the best month to visit Maui?
Maui’s peak travel season is December – March when prices and tourist numbers will be at their highest everywhere on the island. So book your accommodation, rental cars, and tours in advance to ensure availability. These months have the best surfing conditions all year, and this is the prime whale-watching season.
June – August is only slightly less crowded and expensive than December-March. The weather is perfect during these months – sunny and dry. Summer also has calmer currents, giving you ideal swimming conditions.
The year-round warm weather means Maui doesn’t have an off-season. But April – May and September – November are shoulder seasons when you can score some excellent (by Hawaii standards) accommodation and airfare deals.
Driving the Road to Hana is especially pleasant in these shoulder months since there are fewer tourists, and traffic won’t be as much of an issue along the route.
Is Maui really beautiful?
Yes! Maui is absolutely stunning, and the Best Things To Do on Maui are:
1. Drive The Road To Hāna – my favorite stops are Ho’okipa Beach Park, Wailua Valley State Wayside overlook (take the stairs to the right), Hanawi Falls (bring your swimsuit), Hāna Harvest, and Wai’anapanapa State Park.
2. Go on a boat tour to snorkel at the Molokini Crater.
3. See a luau.
4. Spend some time relaxing at a beach and the pool at your hotel or rental home.
5. Hike the Pīpīwai Trail (moderate-difficult) in Haleakala National Park.
6. Drive to the summit of Haleakalā volcano. You’ll need to dress warmly, and reservations are required to see the sunrise from the summit.
7. Go outrigger canoe surfing.
8. Do a helicopter tour (my favorite is a no-doors helicopter).
9. Take a surf lesson.
