This is a partial list of things
to do in Maui. Most of the items in this list are located in South Maui.
We prefer South Maui over West Maui because it is drier and less windy,
and also because West Maui is too remote and crowded for our tastes.
Beaches
- Kamaole Beach III is across the road
from the Maui Kamaole Resort. Not only is this a great beach, but there is
also a huge, family-friendly lawn that is great
for tossing Frisbees and flying kites.
- Keawakapu Beach is about a
five-minute walk south from the Maui Kamaole Resort. Long, with fine
sand, this fantastic beach can be less crowded than some of the others in
south Maui.
- Kamaole Beach I and II are north of
Kamaole Beach III. Next to the road, you can park near the beach.
- Ma'alaea Beach, just north of Kihei,
is over three miles long. A great walking and jogging beach.
- Mokapu Beach is a very picturesque
beach in Wailea.
- Polo Beach is at the south end of a
wooden beachside path that starts at Mokapu Beach. The path meanders
past five Wailea resorts. You can rent beach and swimming accessories from
nearby stands.
- Ulua Beach, Wailea Beach, Palauea
Beach, and Po'olenalena Beach in Wailea.
- Makena Landing Beach Park, Maluaka
Beach, Black Sand Beach, Big Beach, Little Beach, and La
Perouse Bay in Makena.

North Course and the South Course.

the Emerald, Gold, and Blue courses.

Maui.

Kamaole II offer some excellent snorkeling.

around Little Beach.

and a lot of fish.
Boat Diving

Airport is a popular windsurfing spot.
- The most popular beach for
windsurfing experts (and fun to watch) is Ho'okipa Beach, east of
Paia.
Whale Watching
- Whales travel from Alaska and
vacation in Hawaii from December to April. Maui is their favorite
stomping grounds because of the relatively shallow water between
islands.
- Whale-watching boats leave from
Ma'alaea Harbor in South Maui and Lahaina in West Maui.
- From land you can see whales
actually anywhere along the coast, but a couple of good locations
are Pu'u Ola'i south of Makena and the scenic lookout just west of
the Ma'alaea Harbor.
Fishing

billfish, and more.
- Boats leave from Ma'alaea Harbor and
Lahaina.
