Maui offers gorgeous views, warm weather, and plenty of restaurants, shopping, and outdoor adventures to make your vacation memorable. If you aren’t sure where to begin in creating the perfect day in Maui, below is a list to get you started.

What to Do on Maui

1. Walk on the Beach

One of the most exhilarating places to explore in Hawaii is the beach. On Maui, walks along the shore are highly recommended, especially in the early morning when the area is peaceful, the sky is filled with beautiful colors, and there is a cool, gentle breeze blowing.

2. Eat Fresh Seafood

Maui offers some of the freshest seafood in the world. Stop by a local restaurant for lunch or dinner and order fresh tuna, red snapper, mahimahi, and other delights. Try the catch of the day if you want to taste something new.

3. Hike the Landscapes

While the beaches are lovely, Maui has other landscapes to take in. Waterfalls, forests, valleys, and even volcano craters offer plenty of options for a nature hike.

4. Visit the Shops

Lahaina has a shop for everyone. Whether you’re looking for clothing, gifts, fine art, jewelry, handmade collectibles, or beach gear, the area is known for its waterfront shops and lively atmosphere. You can even treat yourself to a henna tattoo or massage at a local spa.

5. Go to the Farmers Market

In Hawaii, farmers markets provide a myriad of fresh local fruits, vegetables, and flowers as well as locally made baked goods, jams, and teas. Papayas, strawberries, bananas, and homemade green smoothies are just a few delicious treats to look for.

When you’re looking for a restaurant that serves the freshest fish in Hawaii, head to Lahaina Fish Co. Since 1990, this locally owned seafood restaurant has served locals and tourists from Lahaina to Kapalua a delicious menu. Their standout dishes include macadamia nut crusted mahimahi, artichoke heart fries, ahi katsu, prime rib, and cherry balsamic chicken and quinoa salad. They also make delicious cocktails such as the Cucumber Alii Lavender and the Glow-rita margarita. If you have dietary restrictions, look into their vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free selections.
