    A One Week Family Trip to Maui

    We found so many awesome things to do in Maui and have brought them all together for you in this one post. You can save this and it includes all the links you need for a one week family trip to Maui! I've been to Maui 3 times and know there are a lot more activities and fun things to do than I could possibly put into one post, BUT I'm including the must do activities and adventures that you just have to try if you'll be heading to Maui with your family. Be sure to visit Maui's official travel site for the latest details on traveling to the islands.

    What is there to do in Maui for Families? 

    One of the first and most obvious things you should do in Maui is go to the beach. There are so many amazing beaches to visit. Our favorites are Kamaole Beach Parks in Kihei, Kaanapali Beach, Honolua Bay for snorkeling and Olowalu Beach. A few of our other favorite things to do in Maui:

    • Maui Ocean Center
    • Maui Tropical Plantation Tour
    • (Halfway) Road to Hana Adventure with Kids

    Adventuring Maui with Kids 

    My favorite way to spend the day in Maui with kids is to go on a long morning beach walk, then explore Maui with an adventure, enjoy lunch out (use our Maui Food + Drink guide), stop by the beach, then head back to the condo or hotel (we stayed in Maalaea), make dinner while the kids swim in the pool and watch the sun go down with a cocktail on the beach. This is my version of an amazing day in Maui.

    More Adventure Ideas in Maui

    Maui is an ideal location for relaxation but with kids, we like to keep it moving and have a good balance of adventuring and relaxing. Here are more adventure ideas for families in Maui

    • View Haleakala at Sunrise
    • Enjoy a Luau
    • Go Spearfishing (best for older kids/teens and adults)
    • Try a whale watching or sunset cruise
    • Zipline through the Maui Tropical Plantation
    • Swim with Sea Turtles 

    Sea Turtles in Maui

    We saw so many sea turtles on our latest trip to Maui. One actually swam right next to the kids and I and scared us right out of the water. We were really close to shore and then the turtle swam up to the sand and came out for a sun bath. It was so exhilarating to see this beautiful large sea turtle swim right by us. The only time I had seen a sea turtle in Maui before was while snorkeling underwater. This time, we saw sea turtles all around even from the shore.

    Shopping in Maui 

    A few of our favorite spots to shop in Maui are in downtown Lahaina, Whalers Village, Kīhei Kalama Village and 808 Clothing, Co. The kids loved the splash pad and climbing structure at Whalers Village. It was a great spot for them to burn some energy on our way to get lunch at Hula Grill in Kaanapali.

    I hope you enjoy your next trip to Maui with your family! We had the best vacation and can't wait to get back to Maui. Aloha! xo, Bri
