Kick off the weekend with some relaxation at the beach. Head to Kaanapali Beach on Maui to soak up the sun and swim in the turquoise waters. As you start feeling a bit hungry, you decide on a poke bowls at Paia Fish Market on Maui for fresh, straight from the sea flavors.  

End your day with a romantic sunset dinner cruise. Check out Sea Maui for your cruise options. Enjoy the stunning views of the Hawaiian coastline as you dine on local cuisine.   

Day 2: Adventure and Exploration

After all that early morning hiking, you might be wanting some time in the water. Go snorkeling at Molokini Crater on Maui to explore vibrant coral reefs and marine life. Back on land, stop by a local food truck like Maui Tacos for delicious local cuisine.  

After a little rest, head out for dinner at Mama’s Fish House for ocean views and live Hawaiian music. All in all, a day well spent! 

Day 3: Relaxation and Farewell 

Treat yourself to a spa morning at one of Hawaii’s top resorts. Enjoy a traditional Hawaiian massage at the Maui Spa at Four Seasons Resort Maui at Wailea in Kihei.

For some great pizza made with fresh local ingredients on the Road to Hana. Visit the Black Sand Beach and Seven Sacred Pools for an experience you won’t soon forget!
