Beyond The Beach: Cool Activities In Maui

By Ella Hemmings


If you are heading to Maui, there's certainly nothing wrong with spending your days lazing away at the beach. However, if you would like to enjoy something a bit more extreme, the following activities might be perfect for you.

For ocean lovers, it can be fun to really get beneath the surface and take a look at the world under the sea. There are several companies that offer submarine tours where you head down and watch as fish, turtles and other sea life go about their daily adventures. Natural reefs often are part of the scenery as well as interesting artificial reefs, perhaps the wreck of ancient sea vessel or a World War II-era airplane. Of course, you also could consider a snorkeling adventure or a scuba diving trek.

An extreme adventurer also might enjoy taking in the views of Maui from the sky and while a helicopter tour might be one way to do it, there are a few other options to consider. Paragliding, for instance, is a great way to take the sites of Maui and enjoy the thrill of soaring through the sky. Zipline tours are another option and provide a way for adventurers to learn more about Maui's unique landscapes, flora and fauna. There are several different zipline companies on the island, offering a variety of tours.

Another interesting adventure includes exploring the vast caverns near Hana. The Ka'eleku Caverns can be a great stop along the road to Hana and a tour of the caverns takes about an hour. Taking the journey to Hana is an adventure all by itself, and in addition to the caverns and windy roads, there are rainforests and waterfalls and spectacular vistas of the Maui coastline.

Most people do, of course, spend at least part of their time at the beach but if you want to skip the sunbathing, it might be fun to book a couple of surfing lessons. Windsurfing is another fun option and quite popular in Maui as the winds are particularly suited to this type of activity.

One of the biggest adventures in life is getting married, and a Maui destination wedding is always a great idea. Contact the team at Love Maui Weddings and take a look at some of their Maui wedding packages. These packages cover all of the basics, such as finding a minister and securing a beach location for the wedding ceremony, as well as many exciting extras. You can book any size Maui wedding you want, from a simple elopement ceremony to a grand affair on a lush, tropical plantation.
