For many of the Hawaii honeymooners, Maui just seems the right destination for them to enjoy some of the great days of their lives. It offers the right taste of culture, heritage, cuisine, wildlife, and nature’s beauty. Snorkel alongside the sea turtles and golf along the coastal fairways. Enjoy the cultural performances and complete your day with a romantic walk along the Hawaii beaches while watching the sunset. When visiting Maui, one of the most beautiful islands in the world, there is so much inherent charm that it can be overwhelming when planning your daily activities. Here is a list of some of the most popular attractions on Maui:

1. The dormant Mt. Haleakala towers 10,023 feet high above the magical island of Maui. As one out of the two volcanoes that created this incredible Hawaiian isle, venturing to Haleakala is one of the most popular attractions in all of Hawaii. For both visitors and residents alike, Haleakala is a place of discovery and symbolizes all the strength embodied by the historical and geological culture of Hawaii. When visiting Haleakala, witness ecologically diverse terrains like striking volcanic landscapes, backcountry trails, and subtropical rain forest zones. Haleakala National Park offers a myriad of options and activities, making it one of the most revisited attractions in all the Hawaiian Islands. The most popular activities to be experienced at Haleakala include enjoying Sunrise and Sunset, Ranger Guided Tours, Hiking, Drive-up Camping, and Backcountry Camping on Maui.

2. Ho’okipa Beach Park is one of the most famous beaches in Hawaii, and one of the most infamous beaches in the world for professional surfing and windsurfing. In the ancient Hawaiian language, “ho’okipa” translates to hospitality, which is exactly what this Beach Park offers!

3. Iao Valley State Park is located just beyond Wailuku, in the Central Maui area. Encompassing 4,000 acres in total, this Maui gem is home to one of Maui’s most distinct natural and historical landmarks, the 1,200-ft high “Iao Needle.” The Iao Needle is a green-mantled volcanic rock outcropping which towers above waterfalls and the Iao Stream.

4. The Ohe’o Gulch Pools, more commonly referred to as the Seven Sacred Pools, is one of the most popular attractions on Maui. This area is a natural spectacle, with a string of pools and waterfalls cascading from East Maui Mountain valleys to the blue Pacific Ocean coastline. This is a beautiful place to explore Maui on vacation, and one that will make a permanent imprint in your mind of timeless memories. The lower pools are more easily accessed and perhaps the best choice for visitors who want to jump in. Due to the popularity of the Seven Sacred Pools, it is highly suggested to arrive early for a chance to enjoy privacy in this insanely beautiful location. Ohe’o is part of the Haleakala National Park system, hosting a ranger station, public restrooms, large parking lots, and camping facilities.

This list just named a few… there are many popular attractions to discover while visiting Maui! Whether you visit Maui for a romantic getaway or family vacation, you can savor every vacation moment with your significant other, kids, family, and friends.
