Scenic Island Drives
You've probably heard of the famous Hana Highway; it's a narrow curvy road with one-lane bridges that connects the secluded town of Hana with the rest of the island. If you have enough time, spend a few nights at the luxurious Hotel Hana-Maui which has a fantastic spa, an art gallery, tennis courts, two swimming pools, croquet courts, a three-hole practice golf course and horse stables. The hotel's restaurant serves dishes prepared with locally grown organic ingredients. The food is delicious!
If you like a great view from above, drive up to the summit of Haleakala National Park. On a clear day, watch a sunrise at 10,000 feet.
Golf Getaway on Maui
Maui is an island getaway destination for golfers, offering different course layouts for all levels of play. Book a tee time on the famous Plantation Golf Course, the site of the PGA TOUR Mercedes Championships, and play on the Village Course at Kapalua which offers scenic views of Maui and the island of Molokai.
Other great places to play golf include Wailea and the Maui Prince Hotel. And if you want to take golf lessons on your island getaway, visit the Wailea Golf Academy and at Kapalua Resort.
Snorkeling and Scuba Diving
Snorkeling is one of the most popular island activities - it's easy to do and can be enjoyed by the whole family. Most hotels on the island offer rental snorkeling gear, but unless it's complimentary for hotel guests like at Napili Kai Beach Resort, you are better off buying your own mask, snorkel and fins because those rental charges add up.
Some great snorkeling spots on the island include Honolua Bay, Malu'aka Beach, Napili Kai and Hamoa Beach.
There are several scuba diving shops in the town of Lahaina that will take you on underwater adventures to the Molokini Crater, Turtle Reef and other dive sites around the island. Try Lahaina Divers which has been in operation since 1978.
Play Tennis on Vacation
If you are a tennis enthusiast, you are in luck. Major resort areas on Maui have many tennis courts that don't seem to be particularly crowded. Whether you decide to stay at Kapalua, Wailea or in Makena, you can play tennis on your island getaway. At Hotel Hana-Maui court time is complimentary for hotel guests.
