One tour will take you over Hana where you see the lush green tropical rainforest and lava tubes. Another gives you the grand tour of the West Maui mountains, the west coast of Maui and Molokai. If you come during whale season you can see humpback whales from a birds eye view!

Whale Watching
If your honeymoon is during whale migration (December through April), whale watching is a must do! Ultimate Whale Watch offers VIP trips, with only 12 guest onboard and tropical refreshments, giving you an intimate whale watching experience, close encounters and one on one marine life education from the naturalist on board.

Luau
Experiencing the Polynesian culture through music, dance and food puts Luaus on our list for things to do on your honeymoon. When choosing a Luau take a look at the menu and entertainment, some are more traditional Hawaiian, others include other Polynesian dances including fire! Pick a location where you can watch the iconic Maui sunset after your luau dinner! Some luaus even include couples dancing where you can slow dance along the water to traditional Hawaiian music.

Road to Hana
Yes this might test your ability to let your new wife/husband drive and not be a backseat driver, but it’s also one of the most magical places you could visit on your honeymoon! Hana has so many hiking destinations and waterfalls that you will want to get an audio guide or app to help you know where to stop and what to explore.
You could even try something different and go the back way, starting with breakfast upcountry at Grandma’s Cafe in Kula, then head towards Hana. Or start with Hana and end with wine tasting at the Ulupalakua winery in upcountry Maui.
You can be as adventurous or as chill as you want on this trip, stopping at unique beaches like Black Sand, Red Sand and Hamao. The little town offer a small general store, some food trucks and fuel, so fill up before heading back to your hotel.
There are so many more amazing things to do on Maui for your honeymoon, but enjoying the company of your lover is most important. Besides you need to leave a few bucket list items for your anniversary trips back to the islands!
