Four Great Things To Do In Maui

By Ella Hemmings


Hawaii is one of the world's greatest destinations, and if you have planned a trip to the island of Maui, you are not alone. More than 2.5 million tourists flock to this paradise each and every year. Once you unpack and settle into your hotel room, here are four activities you should consider taking on during your stay.

Maui is a perfect place for romance, so why not renew your wedding vows while you are here? If you haven't tied the knot yet, Maui is also an excellent spot for a romantic elopement ceremony. The Maui wedding coordinators at Love Maui Weddings have been planning Maui destination weddings for their clients for more than 20 years, and they offer packages for vow renewals, elopements and all sizes of weddings.

For instance, if you wish to renew your vows, consider the "Love, Always" Maui wedding package. This includes a ceremony on the beach led by a local minister, fresh leis, a keepsake bottle of sand from your special beach and a printed copy of your vows. If you wish to elope, consider the "Simply in Love" option which has many of the amenities of the "Love, Always" option but also includes assistance with procuring a wedding license. You can also add on extras such as a photographer or perhaps a musician.

In addition to the fun and romance of a vow renewal or elopement, there are plenty of other fun options to fill your days. You can spend an entire day on a journey to Hana, which is about 50 miles along a winding road from Kahului to the tiny village of Hana. You can trek through the jungle to a waterfall and spend a few minutes splashing in the waves along the way. One note is that there are almost no services, so you need to bring all of your food and water for the day.

Maui is unique for many reasons, not the least of which is that it is the site of the world's largest dormant volcano - Haleakala. One amazing trek would be to drive up to the visitors' center before sunrise, climb to the peak of Haleakala and watch the sun rise over the island. Then you explore the volcano and spend the day trekking through Haleakala National Park.

Maui is beautiful from the sea as well as when you are on land. You can take a sailboat trip around the island, go out and snorkel and experience what is going on under the sea or enjoy a little bit of whale watching. There are many boat trip options and the provide travelers with another view of this amazing island.
