Activities

Just looking for some feedback on what everyone's favorite activity was or is to do while on Maui.  We are staying for 2 weeks and there is 5 adults and 2 tweens.  I want to do so much, but worried we will burn out.  Our fligts will be 11-12hrs long so 2 days out of the 14 will be wasted on travel and of course 1 full day for wedding.  We are outdoors people, so getting dirty or sweaty is not an issue!!!   None of us have ever been so the must do's while there would be awesome to hear about. 

Thanks

Ooh, go hiking! Most tourists don't, so it's a great way to get off the beaten track. Check out the trails behind Kapalua: http://www.kapalua.com/activities/hiking-trails There are shuttles that you can book with (you don't need to stay at the resort) for free. If you want something with amazing views, the Waihe'e Ridge Trail is awesome. http://www.hawaii-guide.com/maui/spot/waihee_ridge_trail The trails in Haleakala are fantastic too. If you can score one of the cabins there (we did 4 years ago) I promise the starry skies are the experience of a lifetime!

My parents did a lot of hiking like Kaesha suggested and they loved it. Check out my married bio for lots of other ideas like zip lining, snorkeling, helicopter tour, etc.

We really love snorkeling and brought our own gear with us. We used Maui revealed and trailblazers books to find the more hidden snorkeling spots. There's some trails that you can combine hiking and snorkeling if you're up for it.

I love to kayak and snorkel! I love seeing the sea turtles...I can never get tired of them. Also I love to eat, but who doesn't?!

We snorkled, did a really fun kayak tour (info in my bio), road to hana, haleakala and when we go back we wanna check out the Iao Needle.

Ooh, yes Maui Eco Tours for kayaking/snorkeling is really good.

We used them as one of our wedding activities too. SO much fun.

I'm all for snorkeling and lots of it. Iao Needle is great to do for a morning. Also enjoyed whale watching on a boat and hiking.
