You’ve booked your plane tickets to beautiful Maui, but now you face the timeless traveler dilemma. How do you figure out what to do in a place you’ve never been before? Or, perhaps you’re facing the opposite problem and every friend and their mother has bogged you down with recommendations based on their unforgettable Maui trip ten years ago. How do you figure out what is right for you on your Maui trip?
You might want to start with some online research, but even there you run the risk of falling down a million and one rabbit holes that will suck up your day faster than quicksand. To help you out, here are our five favorite Maui travel sites.
1. Trip Advisor
Trip Advisor lists over 447 different activities you can try in Maui, along with over 300 tours. You definitely won’t run out of activity ideas here. However, the best part of this site are the reviews from real travelers. Where else can you check out over 4,000 real reviews of Banyan Tree Park?
2. Maui Hawaii Organization
Jon Blum has been visiting and writing about Maui for many decades. He makes the effort to experience both the new as well as re-experience what he’s already written about in order to update his Maui guide. His site has hundreds of restaurant reviews, accommodations, and activities. Though he doesn’t spend much time in the ocean, he’s got plenty to share about it.
3. Maui Guide
This Maui guide website has been around for almost 2 decades, sharing photos, videos, tips and reviews for things to do, art galleries, favorite beaches, shopping, the Road to Hana, Maui mapos, and the best restaurants.
4. CalendarMaui.com
Though this site looks outdated, it’s kept up with current events. Billing itself as “Maui’s most comprehensive community calendar,” CalendarMaui.com will give you the 411 on all the major special activities happening during your Maui trip.
