We have curated a list of activities for a honeymooning couple can participate in.

Here are the top 8 things to do on a honeymoon in Maui:

1. Couple's Spa in Maui 

For a honeymoon in Maui, one should not miss the experience of a relaxing couple's massage at the Spa Grande in Grand Wailea Resort. Named as one of the top spas in the United States, their exhilarating Terme Hydrotherapy circuit speciality spa will take your breath away.

2. Scenic Drive to Hana 

Travelling with your partner through the scenic road to Hana will be a romantic remembrance of your Maui Honeymoon. The dwindling roads by the uninterrupted Alaskan coastline are magical, and on your way, you will be accompanied by the majestic Wailua Falls and Waimoku Falls. Start your journey from early in the morning and grab a quick coffee by Anthony's Coffee Shop. Couples can stop by Twin Falls and take a swim around the shallow waters to have a good time. The nearby Puohokamoa Falls will catch your glance, and the Nahiku Marketplace by the roadside is perfect for some local souvenir shopping before embarking on Hana.

3. Sunrise at Mount Haleakala 

Maui sunrise from Mount Haleakala summit, stationed at 10,000 feet above sea-level, is a must for lovers in Maui. Mount Haleakala, the largest dormant volcano in the world, is just 1.5 hours from Kahului. Start your journey in the dawn to see the sun bulging from the mountain tops at around 03:00 AM. Prior reservation is required in the Haleakala National Park to enter between 03:00 AM to 08:00 AM in the morning. Surely check the local sunrise timing before embarking on the journey and do pack up warm clothes for spending time in the higher altitudes. Tickets are charged as per each vehicle entering the parking lot.

4. Sunset Cruising in the Pacific Ocean

Under the crimson sky, cruising along the Pacific waters with your partner in Maui is a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Couples can take a round trip to the exotic island and enjoy premium dinner on the cruise. Operators like Pride of Maui arrange a special romantic Maui Sunset Laua Cruise for travellers offering an open bar, unlimited Polynesian entertainment, and an unforgettable sunset dinner. Food is freshly prepared, and avoiding crowded boats, you and your partner can have privacy here.

5. Camping Under the Stars

You can find fascinating camping sites in Hawaii, be it beside a volcano or on the black sand sea beaches, to make a good memory during your Maui honeymoon. You can choose the Waianapanapa State Park to camp beside the gushing waves and the rugged topography. There are 12 campsite furnished cabins charging $90 per night for non-residents of Hawaii.

The Hawaiian green sea-turtles will accompany you to Maluaka beach. Apart from snorkelling, you can also relax and get an even tan on the soft sand beach.
