Top 7 Things To Do on Maui for Couples

2. Sunset Dinner Sail

This is a classic romantic activity for couples on Maui – for good reason. You will sail away on a catamaran and cruise along Maui’s coast. Keep a lookout for dolphins jumping on the horizon! Take in views of the vibrant setting sun as you make your way to a private cove where you will enjoy a 4-course fine dining experience at a romantic table for two. Sip on the drink of your choice and toast your loved one. You can choose your meal beforehand from several delicious options. After finishing up with a tasty dessert, sail back to the harbor under a million twinkling stars. This night is sure to be the most romantic evening of your Maui vacation.

3. Sunrise on Haleakala

As poetically beautiful and unforgettable as the moment can be – you’ll want to make the morning pilgrimage to watch the sunrise from Haleakala. For this ritual you rise before dawn to watch the sun come up from the “House of the Sun,” as it was named by the early Hawaiians. (Note that reservations required between 3 a.m. and 7 a.m.) As the sun rises, you’ll see the ribbons of orange wage war with the darkness, and stars will still be twinkling high overhead. Off in the distance, you’ll see the lofty summits of the Big Island of Hawaii rise silently up toward the sky and seem to float on a sea of clouds. The temperatures can be quite frosty at the summit, so be sure to pack jackets and a big blanket. You can snuggle with your sweetie as you await the show. Finally, with anticipation running high, sunlight will burst from the eastern horizon and bathe the crater in light—illuminating the colorful cinder cones that rise from the crater floor.

4. Luxury Half-Day Private Road to Hana Tour

A romantic drive in a luxury SUV is the perfect way to experience the Road to Hana. Your tour guide will work with you to create the perfect itinerary and can accommodate most requests on what type of Road to Hana tour you want to experience. During the tour, you and your partner will be immersed in the history of the Hawaiian culture, breathtaking views, and swimming destinations. After your resort pickup, you will pass by a bamboo forest, rainbow eucalyptus trees, and Puamoa Falls. See the Hana Rainforest, waterfalls, black sand beaches and more. You can choose to stop at Aunty Sandy’s Banana Bread where you can pick up some delicious snacks. Then, you might make a stop at Keanae Peninsula and a drive by Waikani and Kings Falls. You will have a chance for plenty of photo stops along the way before heading back to your hotel. This is an unforgettable experience that you will reminisce about for years to come.

5. Snorkel Tours at Molokini

Summer and Winter – Morning or Afternoon

Molokini remains at the top of the list of “must-see” destinations on Maui. This is adventure snorkeling at its best! You will have access to some of the most amazing reefs and tropical fish in the world.

With hundreds of species of fish and marine animals native only to Hawaii, and coral combinations not found anywhere else, Molokini truly is a unique snorkeling destination and beginner snorkeling in Maui is the perfect introduction to this new world of color, texture, and motion. Maui snorkeling is particularly well suited for the novice because the water is so frequently clear, calm, shallow, and full of life. Experienced snorkelers will appreciate the snorkel sites too, where drop-offs, ledges, overhangs, a wide variety of fish and in the winter, you can often see migrating humpback whales – even hear them “singing” underwater! The crew will outfit you with snorkel gear to fit comfortably for your dive. Many tours include breakfast or lunch and offer SNUBA as an option as well!

And one of the most unique aspects of Hawaiian cuisine is the imu, an underground oven used to cook whole pigs. This traditional cooking method results in incredibly tender and flavorful meat. A luau is a celebration of Polynesian culture which includes stories, songs, dance, food, drinks and so much more. In addition to the delicious food, a luau offers guests the opportunity to experience the culture and traditions of the many different island nations that have made their home in the Hawaiian Islands. From the beautiful dances of Tahiti to the drumming of Samoa, there is no shortage of entertainment options to share.

7. Go Ziplining and More!
