Things to do on Maui?
Our Top Maui, Hawaii Activities!

There are TONS of things to do on a Maui vacation when you're in the mood to just RELAX!

One of our favourite things to do was to just lounge on our favourite beach all day in the warm sun! After all, no Maui vacation would be complete without beach time!

There were lots of fun and relaxing Maui, Hawaii activities in the beautiful Iao Valley. Here are a few of the highlights:

• Iao Valley, Maui, Botanical Gardens and Lookout to Iao Needle
• Hawaii Nature Center Gift Shop, Cafe, and Interactive Nature Museum
• "Tropical Gardens of Maui" Botanical Gardens

(If you go, don't miss my Iao Valley State Park Maui vacation tips!)

Another one of our favourite Maui, Hawaii activities: We drove the Road to Hana, Maui, enjoying magnificent scenery all along the way. (Click here for my top 5 travel tips for driving the Road to Hana.)

I'm not a huge shopper, but even I can't resist doing at least a little bit of shopping on a Maui vacation! Lahaina is truly irresistible for shopping, and if you're lucky, you'll find some real bargains at a flea market along the roadside like we did!

Boating excursions are another great way to relax! Maui whale watching tours are always very popular, and if you go, you won't want to miss out on my best tips for whale watching in Maui! The various sunset cruises are another great option. We LOVED our cocktail Maui sunset cruise, but if you want a full meal, there are sunset dinner cruises too!

Speaking of full meals, if you're in the mood for an extravagant splurge, you'll be interested in hearing all about our dinner at our favourite Maui restaurant for THAT!

Oh! And how about one of the very best Maui, Hawaii activities EVER: the Maui luaus where you get wined and dined in true island style! Find out why this luau was the best we've ever been to!

While I'm on the topic of "the best"... if you plan on going to a luau, make sure you don't book anything until you find out which 2 luaus are commonly referred to as the best luau in Maui!

And...

The one thing we did almost EVERY night....

We relaxed in the hotel lounge with a Mai Tai! The perfect end to a long day of sightseeing - there was always a friendly bartender and group of fellow tourists to be found there, which made for great conversation and memories!

Since I love to compare notes with others on what the very BEST things to do on Maui are, I was wondering - what are YOUR favourite Maui, Hawaii activities when you're in the mood for a low-key, mellow day?
