Snorkeling

by Gypsystravels

I enjoy being out in the water swiming, snorkeling and real soon diving. Snorkeling is a fantastic way to get to see some of the creatures inhabiting the waters below. I always travel with my own snorkel gear and whether or not I take a quided snorkel trip to some wonderful location like Molokini or just off the beach, I've always been lucky to see some amazing fish, rays, turtles, seals and other marine life. Snorkel gear, fins and mask. If you are out on a tour, these will be provided to you if you don't have your own.

Go kayaking

by Gypsystravels

Kayaking is a great activity that you can enjoy here in Maui. Most of the resorts that have an activity center will offer it for a fee. We enjoy doing a little bit of kayaking around the waters of Wailea which are crystal clear. It's really peaceful getting out just the two of us and looking back the the shoreline.

Cliff Diving

by Gypsystravels

Cliff diving seems to be a popular past time for the young men here in Maui. We've seen cliff divers at the beach in Ka'anapali. It was nice to see these very taleted young men to all sorts of summersaults before diving into the crystal clear waters.

Swimming of course

by Gypsystravels

You can't come to a tropical island like Maui and not want to enjoy the water activities...The resorts and hotels all have pools and are usually not far from a beach so getting out and enjoying a swim is a good way to cool off during a hot day.

Enjoy a cruise

by Gypsystravels

There are all sorts of cruises that you can take. Ferni and I decided on a sunset cruise which included dinner. Being able to get on a boat and cruise around an island getting a bird's eye view of the beautiful coast is a very nice way to spend a few hours. Sunset cruises are very popular in any of the Hawaiian islands as it is said that Hawaii has one of the most beautiful sunset you will ever see. I've seen plenty of sunsets in many parts of the world, and Maui has one of the most beautiful. I was able to see the "flash" as the sun dips down over the horizon. Quite spectacular. Make sure to have a good camera to photograph the beautiful coastline as well as the amazing sunset.

Snorkling

by Roadquill

One of the great thing about Maui is that it is so easy to slip on a mask and snorkle, head out over the reef and enjoy the Aquarium Grande below you. I didn't even bother with fins this last trip. I didn't feel I needed them at all. The water is very comfortable, and the salt content in the water keeps you very bouyant (sp?). Off of Makena you can head out several hundred feet from the shore and still be over reef. Or, as I found, barely 10 feet offshore near a small rock formation were three green sea turtles.

Surfing

by Roadquill

Surfing is big on Maui. For big surf you go to the North side of the Island, Paia is a good area, where the winter swells bring in long, well developed waves. For beginning surfers you head to the South side of the Island by Lahaina, where the swells are trapped by the reef, and you get little waves, but at least you can surf.

Take a snorkeling trip!

by Erin74

If you visit Maui, you should really take a snorkeling trip. The most popular area for snorkeling is Molokini, a small crater-like island off the southwest coast of Maui. While you'll see fish at Molokini, the area is really crowded with people and boats.If you're looking for a more relaxed snorkeling environment, try a trip out to Lanai, a beautiful island just to the west of Maui. I highly recommend the Pacific Whale Foundation's boats, because they do not pack them full of people (like many tours do) and they bring along naturalists who can help you identify and fish or dolphins you see. There are several different places on the coast of Lanai that offers good snorkeling. It will just depend on the weather and currents on the day that you sail as to where you end up. Have fun! Most snorkeling tours include fins and masks in the price of your admission, but it doesn't hurt to ask.You...

Bike down from Haleakala

by GracesTrips

There are lots of biking tours available in Maui. And, most of them cost about $100 per person. That can be an expensive activity for most families. We found one that has an express tour for $55 per person and we found it to be worth while. They skip the crater tour for the express tour. So, if you don't mind that, it's still about a 1/2 day activity.Take your mp3 player or ipod for the ride down. Sunglasses and sunscreen a must! The bike company provides transportation up the mountain, the bikes, helmets, protective clothing, back packs and gloves. You must wear the helmets but not required to use the other items that are available. Meet at the Haiku Market shopping center.

Snorkeling

by GracesTrips

We were going to go to Maui for one reason - SNORKELING! My boyfriend says the snorkeling there is better than Kauai or Oahu (I loved the north shore of Oahu). So, my expectations are huge. Here are some snorkeling spots to check out on Maui - all to the west coast of the island starting with the most southern end (Beg-Beginner, Int-Intermediate, Adv-Advanced):La Perouse-Excellent place to snorkel if it isn't too windy. There is a pod of dolphins that frequents the area - usually in the early morning hours. If you are lucky they will swim with you! Located past Ahihi Reserve, this is end of the road unless you have 4-wheel drive & a lot of clearance. Beach is rocky to none. Int to AdvAhihi Keanau Reserve-We snorkeled in this spot. There's isn't much of a sandy beach at all so walking on the rocks is challenging when you are bare footed. But getting in and out of the water isn't too hard....
