Every visitor to the Valley Isle wants to live their vacation to the fullest and experience a perfect Maui day. There are so many wonderful activities to choose from, it is easy to get overwhelmed or not know how to begin to plan. While any place you choose to explore will bring you endless fun, come on an imaginary Maui journey now and get your travel inspiration going.
An essential start to every morning on Maui is catching the sunrise. The peaceful sound of birds chirping in the ocean breeze signals it is time for you to rise after a blissful night’s sleep at the five-star Andaz Maui at Wailea Resort. As the picturesque scenery unfolds from your ocean view balcony, you order a decadent breakfast from the Andaz resorts’ gourmet room service. Now it’s time to begin a thrilling day exploring Maui in style.
Sailing the Maui coastline is up first on your itinerary. Your scheduled Uber Select vehicle is waiting just outside the resort and you are chauffeured over to bustling Ma’alaea harbor. The captain and crew of Island Star is waiting to help you aboard the luxury sailing yacht. Set sail towards a remote area of South Maui. It’s just you and the pristine ocean waters of Hawaii. The capable crew of the Island Star provide you refreshments, snorkeling equipment, fishing poles and an indulgent laid-back cruise. Aboard your own private yacht, the journey is completely in your hands. After four hours of fun and relaxation, the crew prepares a delicious lunch aboard the boat as you sail back towards the harbor. Back in port, you bid the crew farewell.
You take in the scenic drive along the Honoapiilani Highway to beautiful Lahaina, Maui. There you find a multitude of shops with many designer options. Just north of Lahaina town is Whalers Village, a shopping mecca providing designer shops such as Sephora, Lily Pulitzer, Louis Vuitton, Oakley, and Pandora. You take a souvenir photo with “The Pineapple” the largest pineapple centerpiece on island, found along the lovely ocean walkway fronting the shopping center. Live Hawaiian cultural entertainment is always happening at Whalers Village. You soak in the sights and sounds as you explore the grounds.
Next up is a relaxing walk along historic Front Street where you take in the quaint storefronts and ocean views. There you happen upon many art galleries and gift shops including the famous Fleetwood’s General Store and Morrison Hotel Gallery. This special gallery hosts some of the most incredible fine art music photography and memorabilia. Remember to visit the historic Banyan tree in the middle of Front Street and take a moment to reflect under its large branches. Once you’ve walked up an appetite, it’s time for your reservation at the Old Lahaina Luau.
As the sun begins to set, you’re escorted to your table at the most romantic ocean side venue on the West Side of Maui. Old Lahaina Luau is Maui’s most authentic and exclusive celebration of Hawaiian culture. “Hookipa” (hospitality) is guaranteed at Old Lahaina Luau with over 160 staff members to give every guest personal attention. You’re served excellent Hawaiian cuisine and experience an outstanding performance of hula, song, and dance. It is an experience you will cherish forever.
After the luau’s conclusion, it’s time to head back to your luxurious accommodations at the Andaz Maui at Wailea Resort. Courteous valets and welcoming staff greet you as you head to your ocean front room. Your ultra-soft bed is calling your name and a new adventure on the beautiful island of Maui awaits you tomorrow.
