The Ultimate Activity List For Maui

Last month when I published my Ultimate Activity List For Oahu, I got so many responses from others hoping I would showcase each island in that way. I thought it was a great idea, but since I’ve never lived on any other island, only visited, I enlisted the help of some people who live on each of the islands! Special thanks to all those who helped contribute to make my Ultimate Activity List For Maui possible 🙂 One quick trip last weekend and I was able to put the finishing touches on it! This Maui to-do list covers a quick Maui weekend away, a two week Maui dream vacation, stuff to do on Maui, Hawaii for people who have visited the island their whole lives and beyond! Whether you’re planning a move here, a vacation or an island hop – here are the MUST DOS of Maui from Lahaina to Paia, Kaanapali and back…
