If you only have a small window to explore the stunning beauty of Maui, we want to make sure you don’t waste your time behind a slow-driving chicken farmer on the Road to Hana or end up eating at a tourist trap restaurant!

And fear not, you will even work in a little time for your Maui tan!  Ready, set, go!

Day #1

In a perfect world, you get a little more than two days in Maui, but if it’s strictly 2, start early morning with sunrise at Haleakala’s Summit.  Reservations are now required for sunrise, but if you go on a Haleakala tour, you can book when you want.  You can bike, zipline, wine taste, and do farm tours along with your trip to the summit.

Let’s do lunch at Kihei Caffe or Hanohano Pool Bar at the Maui Coast Hotel in Kihei. This is the perfect spot to grab some delicious food then walk across the street to Kamaole Beach I for some sun and swimming.

After beach time, you’ll head over to Havens Harborside Fish & Chophouse for one of the best dinners on Maui.  Make sure to make reservations beforehand, as it’s become Maui’s newest most popular dining experience.

Congratulations on a fabulous first day of vacation!  Now get some rest before we start the second half of your adventure!

Day #2

Good morning sunshine!  After a heavenly sleep on your comfy king-sized bed, it’s time to seize this day!

Wake up early for your snorkeling appointment with the Molokini Crater!  Sitting starboard on a power catamaran, you’ll be swept away to pristine waters with visibility up to 100 feet.  And they will make a quick stop off at Turtle Town, where your dream of swimming alongside a gigantic sea turtle will come true!  You’ll be back with plenty of time to shower and prepare for a fun-filled day. Check out these great Molokini tours!

After you’ve freshened up (no judgment if you chose to jump in the pool over the shower this morning!), get ready to head over to the North Shore. There you’ll visit rescued animals at Leilani Farm Sanctuary. Take a tour of the property, pet a pig, brush a goat, and feed some chickens!

Alright, it’s now time to make the most of this last leg! The Grand Wailea Luau offers a stunning evening of storytelling and fire dancing, with the added perk of an authentic and delicious Hawaiian luau feast.

And there you have it!  Before heading off to bed, make sure to pat yourself on the back for making the most of your two-day vacation in paradise!
