Maui consistently ranks as one of the best islands in the world — and for good reason. From the golden crescent of Kaanapali Beach to the bamboo forests of the Road to Hana and the otherworldly summit of Haleakalā, Maui offers a depth of natural beauty and experience that few destinations anywhere can match.
Top Things to Do in Maui
The Road to Hana is one of the great American road trips — 64 miles of winding coastline road through lush rainforest, past waterfalls, black sand beaches, and botanical gardens. Start early, take your time, and don't skip the Twin Falls, Wailua Falls, or the black sand beach at Waiʻānapanapa State Park. The drive itself is the destination.
Haleakalā National Park is home to the world's largest dormant volcano and one of the most extraordinary sunrises you'll ever witness. Reserve your sunrise permit months in advance — they sell out quickly. The Kula area on the slopes of Haleakalā is also worth exploring for lavender farms, wineries, and farm-to-table restaurants with views stretching to the ocean.
Between November and April, whale watching in the Maui Channel between Maui, Lanaʻi, and Molokaʻi is world-class — the waters are a primary winter breeding ground for North Pacific humpback whales.
Best Beaches in Maui
Kaanapali Beach is the island's most famous and most stunning. Hamoa Beach near Hana is secluded and spectacular. Big Beach at Makena State Park is a long, wide stretch of golden sand popular for bodyboarding.
What to Pack for Maui
Pack light, breathable clothing, reef-safe sunscreen, and a packable rain jacket for the Road to Hana. The VacationGrabs Leather Travel Backpack makes an excellent day pack for beach days and waterfall hikes. For the flight over, the VacationGrabs Large Leather Travel Duffel handles a week's worth of vacation essentials.
