  1. Maui Hawaii sounds absolutely fascinating. The place completely looks like a power package and there is so much to do here. The black, white, red and green sand beaches would be really crazy and we would have spend our maximum time lazing there. Would love to visit this out in future.

  2. Ooo I would love to watch fire dancing. I have never been to Hawaii, but I love all these ideas.

  3. Wow Cool, I did not know there is so much to do on Maui. We never been to Hawai before, but this looks very promising ! Thanks for the nice post.

  4. Loved the black sand beach. Reminded me of the one in Santorini. Similar turquoise waters to boot too! Oh how I would love on of these in any summer day!

  5. It must be incredible too see the world’s best surf Maui’s famous waves. I would love to witness this at Kaenae Beach. Driving the Hana Highway and stopping at all the interesting places along the way sounds like an adventure.

  6. I was just in Maui last week! It is one of my favorite Hawaiian islands. I love shopping on Front Street in Lahiana and sitting and having a cocktail near the beach. I went to the aquarium and plantation farm as well and was really nice to see.

  7. I can’t believe we were on Maui last year and we didn’t do most of those things. We were vegetables by the pool or on the beach at our condo; but that’s ok too, right? We did snorkel at Honolua Bay and took a submarine tour out of Lahaina near the Banyan. Next time we’ll probably do more. Or maybe not!

  8. We’ve been to Maui a few times and can definitely understand why it’s the most visited Hawaiian island. It’s gorgeous! We’ve done a lot of things on this list but looking for sea turtles is a highlight!

  9. We absolutely loved Maui above all other Hawaii islands! It has such a relaxed feel! As for our favorite attractions, we definitely loved the road to Hana and driving to the Haleakala crater!
