Maui has many attractions

Maui is sun, surf, hula and leis. The cliché has a true core, all of that can be found here. But Maui has so so much more to offer: volcanoes, waterfalls, rainforest, boat tours, encounters with turtles, dolphins and whales (in the whale season), culinary highlights, art and culture. And the climate: not too hot and never cold. Of course, it does rain from time to time, on the north coast more often than in the south, but it is a  warm rain, which usually passes quickly. The vegetation reacts with lush greens and an incredible variety of colorful flowers.

     LINKS TO SOME OF OUR FAVORITES

CULINARY

Sansei Sushi Kihei:

The Sansei restaurants are famous in Hawaii for a reason. Be sure to book in advance!

Maui Thai Bistro:

Delicious, cheap, within walking distance. All dishes also available to take away.

Fred's Mexican Cafe:

Just around the corner, friendly, cheap, good and plentiful. Beautiful terrace, especially recommended at sunset.

Kamana Kitchen:

Excellent Indian food and an opportunity to dine outdoors (which is amazingly rare on Maui).

Ruth's Chris Wailea

For the special occasion: not cheap, but great steaks.

Silberschwert - silversword
Pod von Walen - pod of whales
Sandskulptur - sand sculpture

ENJOYING  NATUR

Haleakala:

When traveling to Maui, Haleakala is part of the obligatory program. We strongly recommend a small hike into the crater, if your health allows it. Absolutely unique.

Waihee Ridge Trail:

Very nice hike with great views of Kahului and the inaccessible interior of Western Maui.

Polipoli State Park

It's a little tedious to get there, but  Polipoli is a great hiking area with views of the lava fields in the South East and all the way to the Big Island.

Kula Botanical Garden:

Unique view of Kihei and an affectionately planted and created botanical garden.

 

Wailea Boardwalk Trail

This beach walk can be started directly at Kamaole III and leads to the luxury hotels of Wailea. Tip: take a small coffee break at the Shops of Wailea.

Makena Beach:

Our special recommendation for a day at the beach. Pack snorkel gear, food, water and beach chairs and have a great time.

THINgS TO DO

Maui Ocean Center:

Very interesting aquarium. The giftshop is very well assorted and can be visited without entering the Ocean Center.

Pacific Whale Foundation:

There are many boat tour providers on Maui. By booking here you also support the whale research and the preservation of the ecosystem of the islands.

Lahaina Banyan Tree:

Crowded by tourists or not: Lahaina is definitely worth a visit. And the highlight is the gigantic Banyan Tree in the center. 

Walmart:

Our recommendation for clothes with the aloha feeling and low-prized souvenirs. We still say that even though our backpack was stolen there! Crime is not a big problem on Maui, but even in paradise you can find a few pickpockets.
