- Swimming. Obviously swimming is one of Maui's favorite vacation pastimes and with over 120 miles of coastline surrounding Maui, Hawaii they've plenty of stunning beaches and water in which to do so.

- Old Lahaina Luau. Luaus are a cultural tradition in Hawaii, it's something that every native Hawaiian has experienced many times, and its something that every tourist should join in at least once. And there's no superior place for a luau than the city of Old Lahaina. Here you'll find good live music, games, and plenty of traditional Hawaiian cuisine.

- Surfing. Perhaps the most prevalent sport in Maui, surfing is enjoyed year round by both men and women of all ages. And don't worry there are plenty of reasonably priced surfing lessons available for those of you who are looking to attack the waves on your vacation to the island.

- Scuba Diving / Snorkeling. There's no better way to see Maui than from underwater; thankfully, there's plenty of opportunities to do so. Beginners to scuba diving or snorkeling may want to find an instructor, but those who know what they are doing are free to explore the waters on their own.

- Helicopter Tours. Aerial tours are particular popular amongst tourists to Maui, and they provide some breathtaking views of the island that simply can't be seen anywhere else.

- Biking. One of the most popular methods of transportation around the island, biking is not only great exercise but its a good way to see everything that Maui has to offer. With bike trails suitable for all ages and all skill levels, including a downhill ride down a dormant, 10,000 foot high volcano, the biking one can find here is simply unrivaled anywhere else.

- Whale Watching. From December 15 to May 15, whale watching is at its prime; and there are plenty of tours and cruises that will get you up and close personal with one (or more) of these mammoths.

- Iao Valley. Those who are traveling to Maui for the first time may not realize this, but there are some lush forests made up of trees that can only be seen here like the ohia and koa, along with a bevy of other tree and plant species.

- Para-sailing. For those who are courageous enough to be lifted up to 800 feet and towed behind a boat, there is no better excitement than para-sailing. If you want to see Maui in a fun and unique way while getting your adrenaline fix for the day, para-sailing in Maui is a vacation must.
