Everyone from families to newlyweds to ocean enthusiasts to those looking to explore the island’s landmasses will find something to love on Maui.<\/p>\n
Vacationers to Valley Island have their pick of numerous exciting activities, from scenic lavender farms to world-class surfing and snorkeling.<\/p>\n
If you’re looking to give the kids an experience they won’t soon forget, here are some of the best family-friendly things to do on Maui.<\/p>\n
The Road to Hana is undeniably one of the world’s most beautiful drives, with thrilling turns, one-lane bridges, lush scenery ranging from waterfalls and rainforests to lava tubes, and more.<\/p>\n
It’s a long drive, especially if you stop (which you will!), and the little ones might get cranky if the weather turns bad.<\/p>\n
This trail is ideal for families with older children who enjoy hiking and adventuring, as it features numerous interesting sights to see along the way (such as the Twin Falls, Hana Lava Tube, and Seven Sacred Pools).<\/p>\n
The next thing to do on Maui with kids is to take them to the Maui Ocean Center, an excellent place to learn about the island’s flora, fauna, and native cultures.<\/p>\n
This aquarium, located on Ma’alea Bay, is a beautiful way to combine leisure and education.<\/p>\n
The variety of incredible displays, from the Open Ocean to the underwater tunnel to the turtle lagoon to the living coral reef, may cause some visitors’ jaws to drop.<\/p>\n
And there’s a lovely display that introduces guests to ancient Hawaiian rituals and ceremonies.<\/p>\n
There is no shortage of surfing spots on Maui, especially in popular areas like Lahaina.<\/p>\n
Maui Waveriders, on the other hand, is family-owned and operated and offers adorable, personalized surfing lessons for the whole family.<\/p>\n
Lessons at this surfing school begin on the beach and progress into the water at each student’s pace.<\/p>\n
Each student has the opportunity to ride a wave, and they receive constructive criticism from their teacher as they do so.<\/p>\n
Friendly blacktip sharks and adorable sea turtles may join you for your surfing lesson.<\/p>\n
Visit Maui’s Upcountry for a change of pace from the typical surf and sand; you’ll be forgiven if you temporarily forget that you’re not in the middle of a farm.<\/p>\n
Located on the southwestern side of Mount Haleakala, you won’t find actual surfing goats, but you will find a beautiful working farm with various tours!<\/p>\n
Kids of all ages will enjoy this tour because they will get to interact with and feed the goats and pet and play with the pigs, cats, and dogs who live on the farm.<\/p>\n
Skyline Eco-Adventures is a fantastic place for thrill-seeking families to have fun and introduce their young children to the excitement of the outdoors.<\/p>\n
Skyline has two thrilling zipline courses: one on the slopes of Mount Haleakala and another through the resorts of Kaanapali. You’ll have fantastic views of the Maui coastline, whichever route you choose.<\/p>\n
You can choose the length of your zip-lining adventure to suit your needs, and reservations aren’t required (though children must be at least eight years old for the Haleakala course and 10 for the Kaanapali course).<\/p>\n
