How to Plan the Perfect Trip to Maui

Best Route from San Francisco to Maui

A roundtrip flight from San Francisco (SFO) to Maui (OGG) takes five hours and thirty minutes and usually costs around $200 dollars per person. You can find flights for cheaper (sometimes as low as $70) but you have to really scout ahead and plan around those timings so be prepared. The great thing about this route is that you are flying directly to Maui without having to connect via the big island or an airport on the mainland like LAX.

Best Things to See in Maui (and what to pack)

A good guide is nothing without some of our favorite picks to see right? If you are only here for a few days we definitely want you to see:

  • The Road to Hana – Something you can drive yourself, the Road to Hana is so iconic for a reason. Filled with hidden restaurants, secret beaches, and waterfalls be sure to drive with caution and curiosity. Pack a bag with a satellite phone if you are worried about dropping out of contact and plenty of spare batteries, water, and food because it is easy to get lost in how beautiful Hawaii can be!
  • Haleakala Crater – The most famous spot on Maui can also be the most peaceful at the right time. The best place to view the sunrise and set in the world, Haleakala Crater will change your entire perception about the planet we call home. Make sure to pack a jacket and closed-toed shoes if you plan on hiking the crater because it does get cold and can be slippery.
