5 Best Things to Do in Maui 2023

Whether you’re planning to travel to Maui for the first time or whether you’ve been here before, there is plenty to be seen and explored on the Valley Isle. Our Maui vacation rentals put you at the center of it all! Here is our list of the 5 best things to do in Maui during your 2023 vacation: 

Visit Maui’s Beaches 

The alluring blue waters and sandy beaches are what probably brought you to Maui in the first place! After a day of hiking or exploring all of Maui’s offerings, set aside some beach time so that you can truly catch up on some rest and relaxation. From snorkeling to swimming, hanging out at the beach is the perfect way to spend the day. Our exceptional Maalaea Bay rentals are located in the most central location on Maui, allowing you easy access to the beach and Maalaea’s shops and restaurants. 

Featured Property: Maalaea Kai 307

Take in stunning views of Maalaea Bay from your own private lanai in Maalaea Kai 307. This 2-bedroom, 2-bath condo is the perfect place to call home for your Maui vacation. Guests will enjoy access to community amenities which include a pool and putting green. 

Cruise Road to Hana 

If there’s one thing you should add to your must-do in Maui list, it’s cruise the Road to Hana. The Road to Hana provides visitors with gorgeous views of Maui’s natural landscape. The road was completed in 1926 and features 620 curves and 59 single lane bridges taking anywhere from two to four hours due to the narrow roadway, tight turns, and one-lane bridges. You can either drive the Road to Hana yourself or use a tour guide, which we highly recommend. Make plans to stop and see the Twin Falls, Garden of Eden, and more. Check out our full guide on the Road to Hana and find out all you need to know to prepare for this fun adventure.

Go on a Whale Watching Tour 

If you’re visiting Maui during the months of January-March, then make sure to book a whale watching tour! During these months, Kohola (humpback whales), migrate from the north to Hawaii’s warm waters. Whale watching tours allow you to view these magnificent creatures up close, but if you’re lucky enough, you may be able to spot whale activity from your lanai!
