Maui For Families

Haleakala

Exploring volcanoes are an exciting and educational way for the entire family to start the day. A number of possibilities exist to explore the dormant Haleakala Volcano. You might hike in and around the crater and national park area surrounding the volcano. You could also take the older kids on a mountain biking adventure.

Shark Spotting

The Maui Ocean Center allows your family to explore the beautiful creatures of the sea without having to actually go to the sea to do so. Your children will be able to learn about the many types of sharks, starfish, stingrays and ocean life in general whilst safely indoors. Once your children are properly educated on marine life, you can take to the sea to put your education to work in the stunning waters of Maui.

Sailing to Lanai

Rather than sitting on the beach all day, take a sailboat trip to the island of Lanai. This trip offers the best snorkeling in Maui for families. You will be able to explore the ocean from the sailboat and in the water. You will also be able to explore various historic locations on the island upon arrivals such as the old prison, the old courthouse and the gigantic Banyan Tree which is the main attraction for many. 

A Highway Adventure

The US infrastructure has some of the most scenic highways in the world and the Hana Highway is no exception. In fact, the Hana Highway is considered to be the most scenic tropical highway in the world. You will be able to stop anywhere along the way to take photos, have a picnic or stop at a local cafe to plan the rest of your day. You are much more likely to engage with locals on this journey while the family learns about the history of Hawaii and about plant and animal life in the tropics.  

Maui is the ideal family holiday. You will be able to combine education, exploration, and adventure in one trip. Whether you seek some quiet time at the beach or an outdoor adventure, you will find exactly what you seek on Maui.
