Afternoon Activities
If adventure is your love language, there are lots of great ways to enjoy Valentine’s Day in Maui. Get your taste of high-flying thrills at Maui Zipline, or go on a gorgeous waterfall hike.
For a truly unique activity, Check out The Kings Gardens Maui. This simple waterfall hike includes a tour of ancient gardens and rainforests, where you can see the world’s largest prehistoric dinosaur ferns. The cherry on top is the chocolate tasting at the end.
Those looking for leisure are also covered. Start the afternoon with a stroll along the beach outside your I Go Maui vacation rental. Then, go for a swim in the ocean or relax by the pool.
Later, head to one of the area’s excellent spas for a couple’s massage, complete with facials, body scrubs, or a detoxifying wrap.

Once you’re fully relaxed, head back to your rental and change for the evening’s main event.
Evening Extravagance
One of the best things about spending Valentine’s Day in Maui is that you’re here during peak whale-watching season! Did you know every winter, from December – May, thousands of humpback whales head to the warm waters of Maui to mate and birth their calves?
This makes it one of the most magical times to visit, as it greatly increases your chances of seeing these gentle giants in their natural habitat.
To plan the perfect romantic evening, book a sunset whale-watching dinner cruise with PacWhale. This experience begins at 4 pm when you’ll set out on a fantastic three-hour cruise complete with epic views, delicious food, and if you’re lucky, breaching whales.
The award-winning cruise includes commentary from the company’s expert guides, all certified Naturalists. Along the way, you’ll learn about the whales and their behaviors, and the team will even use underwater microphones so you can be serenaded by the wonderous whale songs beneath the surface.
Dinner consists of a four-course meal made from Maui ingredients, even the bar offerings are from local providers!
The menu consists of sweet rolls with honey butter and black lava salt, as well as a fresh watermelon and tomato salad to start.
For your entrée, choose from yellow curry-marinated shrimp with fresh mango sauce, teriyaki chicken breast with papaya salsa, truffle-scented braised beef with mushrooms, or grilled portobello mushroom marinated in chimichurri served over sweet Molokai purple mashed potatoes.
All entrees are served with coconut-whipped sweet potatoes and grilled vegetables with macadamia nut pesto.
For dessert, a triple chocolate chip brownie with fresh Kula strawberries, Maui coffee, and hot tea awaits to round out this exceptional experience.
As you arrive back on shore, head home to your vacation rental and enjoy a glass of wine on the lanai as you reflect on your favorite parts of the day.
