A Private Maui Retreat Surrounded by Nature

In the evenings, the lanai becomes the perfect place to unwind after a day of exploring Maui — quiet, peaceful, and completely your own.

Whether you’re planning a luxury vacation in Wailea, renting a North Shore cottage in Haiku, or exploring Upcountry Kula, Maui offers countless experiences. Here are ten unforgettable activities—perfect for your travel list.

A bucket-list adventure is witnessing sunrise from the summit of Haleakalā, Maui’s dormant volcano. Book your sunrise pass early, dress warm, and prepare to see a golden light show above the clouds. Many visitors say it’s the most spiritual experience on Maui. Haleakala Sunrise Experience.


2. Drive the Road to Hana

The famous Road to Hana is a winding coastal highway with waterfalls, black sand beaches, and lush rainforests. Stop at Waianapanapa State Park, Twin Falls, and Hana town for a full day of adventure. I love spending a night or two in Hana. Perfect way to spend your morning at Hana Bay. I never get tired of the road to Hana Maui. Is there anywhere else that offers such beauty.


3. Snorkel at Molokini Crater

Take a snorkel or dive trip to Molokini, a crescent-shaped volcanic islet teeming with marine life. The crystal-clear waters make it one of the best snorkeling spots in Hawaii. this year I was fortunate to take two trips to Molokini with the Trilogy Excursions. First class operation. Crusing with part of my family. If you are thinking of going on a snorkeling trip to Molokini, Trilogy is first class, and try to get on their Lanai Trip, wonderful day guaranty.


4. Whale Watching in Winter

From December to April, humpback whales migrate to Maui’s warm waters. Book a whale-watching cruise from Maʻalaea Harbor for a chance to see these giants breaching. so much fun If you have a chance book a session with the Trilogy Excursions, first class operation, sunset sail whale watching is pretty amazing.


5. Relax at Wailea Beach

Wailea Beach

Wailea is known for luxury resorts, calm waters, and soft golden sand. Perfect for swimming, paddleboarding, or simply relaxing with an oceanfront cocktail. What’s not to like about Wailea Beach. How about a morning walk on the Wailea Boardwalk, Sunset dinner by the pool at the Wailea Marriott listening to music, watching the sunset. If you are looking at buying or selling condo in Wailea Maui? I work with Hawaii Life Real Estate Brokers in The Shops at Wailea. You can visit my website for all new homes and condos in Maui currently on the market.


6. Hiking up in Kula, by Grandma’s Coffee

Kula Hiking

I love a morning hike on Thompson Rd. First breakfast, Kula Coffee, fresh bake goods at Grandma’s Coffee is a must. It really is a beautiful hike, looking up at Haleakala Crater, and over looking Wailea and Makena Maui. On a clear day you can see the Big Island. Looking for homes in Kula Maui?

7. Go Surfing or Windsurfing on the North Shore

Windsurfing Maui-That’s me on the right older photo

Well this is my backyard. I been surfing at Hookipa for over 50 years. My family is three generations of surfers. I also windsurf, but being a late bloomer, I am a pretty average windsurfer. You can take lessons at Kanaha Beach and lean to foil or windsurf. Winter is just kicking in, so you can always enjoy watching the best windsurfers in the world at hookipa, pretty exciting. For water sports, Maui’s North Shore is world famous. Beginners can take surf lessons at Kihei or Lahaina, while advanced riders test themselves at Ho‘okipa Beach or even Jaws during big-wave season.


8. Visit Upcountry Kula Farmers Market

Saturday morning Kula Farmers farmers market, from 7am to 11am. You will find fresh fish, baked goods, local honey, veggies, Hot dishes that are so tasty. Really there is something for everyone. Every other Saturday I head to the farmers market for fresh veggies, and starter plants for my garden. It really is a hot spot for local’s and visitors alike. If you are in the market for buying a home in Kula Maui. You can search all homes for sale in Kula Maui from my website at Nickensmaui.com


9. Visit the Island Of Lanai Day Trip

There are two ways to get to Lanai. You can take the ferry, it’s pretty reasonable, or again Trilogy Excursions for a first class adventure, sailing into the harbor in Lanai. They provide snorkeling gear, dive gear, volleyball, and provide a first class lunch at the harbor. If you take the ferry, pack your own lunch, snorkeling gear, The beach is just beautiful. Oh you can have lunch at the Four Seasons, and take a bus to Lanai Village. Either way, it’s a perfect day, one of my A-list recommendation’s.


10. Feast at a Hawaiian Lūʻau

No Maui vacation is complete without a traditional lūʻau. Enjoy hula, fire dancing, and Hawaiian food like kalua pig and poke. Popular options include Old Lāhainā Lūʻau and Feast at Lele, or the Wailea Marriott has a fun Luau.
