Activities

People ask me what else is on Maui but the beach.  Really?!  You want more than the beach?!  As it happens, the beach is not the only attraction on Maui.  Here is a list, in no particular order, of activities our family has enjoyed over the years (web addresses included):

• ​Maui Ocean Center in Maalea.  When you've had enough sun, this is a great change of pace.   https://mauioceancenter.com
• Whale Watching with Pacific Whale Foundation.  Great guides and good prices.  https://www.pacificwhale.org
• Atlantis Submarine.  For those who prefer not to snorkel or scuba dive, this is the next best thing.  https://atlantisadventures.com
• Surfing Goat Dairy.  Tour the farm, watch the kids play, milk a goat, and try a sampler of their most popular goat cheeses.   http://www.surfinggoatdairy.com
• Piiholo Ranch Zipline.  Upcountry views, the sweet little town of Makawao--what's not to love?  https://piiholozipline.com
• Old Lahaina Luau.  This is my favorite, because it feels the most authentic and the view is spectacular.  https://www.oldlahainaluau.com​  If you are looking for a more folksy kind of luau with campy jokes and a genuine fireeater, try the Grand Wailea's luau in South Maui, or the Hyatt or Sheraton luaus in Kaanapali.
• Maui Sporting Clays.  A little trap shooting on Maui is an unexpected activity, but my guys loved it.  http://www.mauisportingclays.com
• Surfing Lessons.  At Kalama Park in Kihei, there are a bunch of different companies that offer surfing lessons.  The waves are tiny, so trust me, you will get up on a surfboard and ride a wave!  ​These are just a few: https://surfclubmaui.com; https://mauisurflessons.com; http://www.mauiwaveriders.com; http://www.bigkahunaadventures.com​

ALOHA!
