All Maui Tours & Excursions in 2025

Maui is one of the most popular islands to visit in Hawaii, and there are hundreds of fantastic tour options to help you explore. Some of the current tours that rate the highest among previous travelers are:

There’s a wide price range for Maui excursions and tours, from self-guided audio tours that cost around US$15 to cruises on glass-bottom boats that start at around US$55 per person all the way up to private catamaran charters that may be US$5,000 or more for the whole group. Most of the top-rated tours are in the US$100–250 per person range.

The list of activities you can do in Maui is long, as reflected by the variety of Maui excursions. Depending on the one you choose, you could be hiking up a mountain to see the sunrise, ziplining over the jungle, swimming at the pool underneath a waterfall, snorkeling in the caldera of an ancient volcano, visiting pineapple or cacao farms, biking the famous Road to Hana, learning to surf, or sampling some of Maui’s best cuisine.

Most experienced travelers say that each island in the Hawaiian archipelago deserves at least a week, and that goes for Maui, too. If you’re pressed for time, you may be able to see the main sights in 4–5 days, but with a stay of at least a week you won’t feel as rushed. Not only that, but having more time also means you could add longer Maui excursions, like a full day spent snorkeling around Molokini.

The best month to visit Maui depends a bit on what you want to do while you’re there. For whale watching, plan a trip in February or March. If you’re traveling with littles, the ocean tends to be a little calmer in June–August. If you’re hoping to experience Maui when it’s not as crowded (or expensive) but the weather is still ideal for beach time and water sports, aim for the shoulder seasons of spring (April–May) or fall (September–November).

There are dozens of what can reasonably be called “top attractions” in Maui, with every visitor coming up with their own list. According to traveler ratings, the top five attractions are the Road to Hana (and Hana itself), the Molokini Crater, Pua’a Ka’a State Wayside Park on the Road to Hana, and the town of Paia on the North Shore. Other spots that rank highly are Wai’anapanapa State Park’s black sand beach, Pipiwai Trail through the rainforest, and the enormous Haleakala Crater.
