Maui Active and Adventure Highlights

By Travel Expert: Karen Kefauver
  • The Haleakala Volcano hike offers amazing views and scenery resembling a red moonscape. While the trail itself is sandy and difficult, it affords unique views of the volcano.
  • For super views with the wind rushing through your hair, take on Maui's greatest bicycle adventure, the 38-mile Summit to the Sea ride, from the 10,023-foot summit of Mount Haleakala to the beach at Paia town.
  • Steal away to Hana, the little eastern hub of Maui. A former stronghold of ancient Hawaiian chiefs, or ali'i, Hana abounds with volcanic seaside cliffs, lush tropical forests, and remote beaches.

Maui Overview

Maui, also called the Valley Isle, is just a small dot in the vast Pacific Ocean, but it has the potential to offer visitors unforgettable experiences: floating weightless through rainbows of tropical fish, standing atop a 10,000-foot volcano watching the sunrise color the sky, listening to the raindrops in a bamboo forest.
