Maui, known as the Valley Isle. Being the second-largest island in Hawaii, there are plenty of things to do on Maui. Whether you’re going in the summer months or winter months, there’s something to see year round! If you’re planning a trip to Maui, take notes on the places you must visit.

Towering over the island of Maui and a “perfect place to watch the sunrise” and sunset. If it’s your first time visiting Maui, this is something you won’t want to miss! Tip: If you’re planning to go for sunrise, reserve your pass in advance, here!
3. OLD LAHAINA TOWN
Located on the west side of Maui lies Lahaina Town. It’s filled with beachside restaurants, shops, and historical insights. Also, a great place to watch the sunset!
4. MAKENA BEACH

Also known as Big Beach is located in the south of Maui. This is our favorite beach on the island! It’s a massive sandy beach with lots of room for everyone. Simply one of the most beautiful beaches we’ve seen in all of Hawaii.
5. PE’AHI (JAWS)
Also known as Jaws! If you’re a surfer, you’ve heard of this famous spot on the north shore. It’s Maui’s biggest surfing break. With waves that reach up to 60 feet! Tip: If you don’t have a 4-wheel drive, get your hiking shoes ready because it’s a hike down to the beach. Not a surfer? No worries because the crashing waves can be felt cliffside at bystander viewpoints.
6. MOLOKINI ISLAND

Beautiful place to snorkel! You will need to book a tour to get here but it’s all worth it! Molokini is a crescent-shaped partially submerged volcanic crater which forms a small, uninhabited islet.
7. ALI’I KULA LAVENDER
This is something we recently heard about. One of our friends visited the Lavender Farm in Maui and it’s a gorgeous location overlooking parts of Maui!
8. SEVEN SACRED POOLS

This place is on our bucket list to visit the next time we’re back on the island of Maui! The seven sacred pools have seven swimming holes connected by waterfalls, hidden in the dense bamboo forest of Ohe’o Gulch.
