We’ve listed 7 of the most popular Maui activities for couples. We hope you’ll experience some of these when you visit Maui with your significant other.
The Road to Hana is Maui’s number one attraction for a good reason. Cascading waterfalls, breath-taking coastal views, lush rainforest, and the untouched purity of the islands bring visitors back again and again. Hana is exactly what you imagine it to be. It’s home to local Hawaiians that pride themselves on keeping Hana undeveloped and untarnished by encroaching “civilization.” You’ll find many spots along the way to take romantic photos.

Sailing with Maui Custom Charters is romantic because it slows everything down in the best way, solitude, the ocean breeze, and nothing on the agenda besides being together. As the sun starts to dip, it feels like Maui put on a private show, and you’re right in the middle of it.
Located only a short drive from historic Wailuku Town in central Maui, Iao Valley is a site of rich historical and cultural importance within the Hawaiian Islands. Home to the dramatic Iao Needle and a flowing freshwater stream flanked by lush cliffs of the West Maui Mountains, Iao Valley State Park is best explored with a knowledgeable local guide as a part of the Central Maui, Upcountry & Haleakala Park Tour.
Maui is world-famous for the best whale watching in the world! Maui whale watching is what Africa is to safaris. You get a chance to not only see Humpback whales enjoy the freedom of warm waters with no predators, but you’ll most likely be given a show in acrobatics. Every year our Humpbacks journey to Maui in order to mate and give birth. If you haven’t witnessed whale surface behavior in Maui waters, you’re in for a treat! Whale watching with Redline Rafting is worth it because you’re out on a fast, small raft that keeps you close to the action, so every breach and tail slap feels up-close and personal.
Haleakala Crater is a must when visiting Maui with your loved one. The majestic beauty of the Manhattan-sized crater is the perfect place for a romantic sunrise or sunset. Towering at 10,023 feet, Haleakala offers views above the clouds, and you can often see the Big Island in the distance. If you’re adventurous enough, and you have the right equipment, sun protection, and water, hiking can be amazing here. It’s like being on Mars!
Molokini Crater is a volcanic atoll sitting just off the south coast of Maui. Conveniently, it harbors and protects some of the most awe-inspiring ocean life in Hawaiian waters. Snorkeling Molokini has become one of the most popular activities on Maui due to its incredible water clarity. Scuba diving is also a world-famous activity for advanced divers on the backside of Molokini. Kai Kanani’s Signature Deluxe Snorkel is a dreamy half-day on a 65-foot luxury catamaran, with two snorkel stops (including Molokini and the Makena Coast for sea turtles), plus locally sourced food, a gourmet lunch, and excellent drinks to round it out.
Maui is home to all kinds of surfing. Wind, kite, stand-up, longboarding, and shortboarding are all increasingly popular on the Valley Isle. You’ll find different areas attract different surfers and different skill levels. If you’re new to surfing, there are plenty of surf schools in Maui. If you have more experience under your belt, you can find great waves depending on the season.
