Camping
Camping is a fun, budget-friendly option that offers adventure and a beautiful place to stay all at once. Most of Maui’s campsites are located on beaches around the island so you will get a sunrise or sunset view and a breathtaking ocean view to enjoy during your vacation. Beachfront camping gives you the best view you can buy on Maui at a fraction of the cost of booking a room at a resort. If you want to go camping, you can reserve county and state campsites in advance online.The Beach
In addition to camping opportunities, the beach offers a lot of cheap or free activities that are a blast. Spending time soaking up the sun on the beach might be just what the doctor ordered. Sometimes the best way to spend most of your vacation is by just hanging out on the beach. You could pack a picnic and stay for the whole day. Watch for whales that tend to make lots of appearances around Maui during the winter months! That is an amazing thing to see! While you are at the beach you could also enjoy some water sports like snorkeling or surfing. Take advantage of the underwater views in Maui’s beautiful, clear water. There is an unbelievable number of fish that live around the island so you are sure to see lots of cool things while snorkeling. If you prefer the thrill of catching a wave versus floating in the ocean, rent a surfboard or boogie board. Maui’s waves are endless so you could spend the whole day in the water if you want to! If you want to stay by the beach but want to stretch your legs for a little while, go on a hike. There are lots of hiking trails that connect to beaches around the island. Hiking is a wonderful way to explore the island and connect with nature. Most trails boast incredible ocean or waterfall views.Explore on Your Own
