Where to Stay in Maui

The place you'll be happiest depends on what type of experience you're hoping to achieve.

  • Are you someone who loves luxury accommodations and five-star service?
    Arguably one of the most magical aspects of winter in Maui is the whale watching opportunity. Beginning mid-fall, whales from across the Pacific Ocean begin migrating to Maui's warm coastal waters. For the price of dinner, you and your family can take a whale watching cruise and experience these majestic creatures in their natural habitat. There is nothing quite like watching mothers and their calves frolic in the wild while males compete for the attention of females. Select cruise outfits include special underwater machines so guests can listen to the haunting melodies of the whale's songs.

  • Do you prefer a quiet respite away from the world?
    East Maui is probably a better fit, as it provides ample amounts of home-town feel, allowing you to create your own experiences naturally. Walk amongst the locals while diving in and out of shops, picking up items you simply can't live without.

What to Do

Relax and enjoy yourself or get crazy and let your hair hang loose. Maui's ready to give you anything you ask for. On your journey, consider trying:

  • A helicopter ride over the island so you can experience the majestic waterfalls and lush green rainforests from above. Maui is breathtaking by foot; just imagine what it looks like from the air!

  • A hike to unbelievable scenic views. The Road to Hana is sure to give you an experience unlike anything else on this planet. Before you depart on your journey, take the time to learn about the legends that make this route so incredible. The more time you spend at momentous spots, the more history you'll soak up along your journey.
