Living on an island surrounded by large bodies of water has many benefits, especially when it comes to number of outdoor activities you can enjoy. You can fish, swim, snorkel learn to surf, and so much more. The other benefit to living on an island, like any of the Hawaiian islands, is the year-round weather that invites you to spend hours outdoors. Here are some of the activities to enjoy while visiting Maui.

Surfing: If you are a bit more of an adventure seeking individual, you may want to enjoy the water on a surfboard. Learn to Surf in Kihei offers two-hour surf lessons for groups, semi-private lessons or private lessons. There are a few requirements, for your safety, that include the ability to swim. Children 11 years and younger are required to have a family member to accompany them.

Morning Molokini Snorkel:  Cruise to the waters around Molokini on a triple deck power-catamaran, the only one in Hawaiʻi. This catamaran offers spacious open and covered seating along the waters leading to the snorkel site and back. They provide snorkel gear and flotation devices along with breakfast, lunch, snacks, beverages. Reservations are required for these daily snorkel trips.

Whale Watching:  Every year North Pacific humpback whales’ journey from Alaska to Hawaiʻi starting in November and generally stay through May of the following year. Their annual journey is linked to their mating, giving birth, and raising their young in warmer tropical waters. If you are lucky, you will see the whales frolic in the waters or a fin or tail breaking the surface. There are seasonal tours available each year open between December and April. Each tour sets out on the water for a two-hour adventure.
