Morning Waves and Island Vibes
As the sun rises over Lahaina, the gentle waves beckon you to start your day with a splash.

Whether you’re a seasoned surfer or a first-timer, the instructors ensure a memorable experience.
Great instructors!! - These guys were amazing!!! So friendly and set up really well for a successful lesson. They did an amazing job with our 9 year old to keep her safe and get her surfing!
I highly recommend these guys if you want to learn to surf and stand on your board in the first lesson!!!
With the sun warming your back and the ocean spray on your face, there’s no better way to start your pre-holiday relaxation. The surf school provides all the necessary equipment, so all you need is your swimwear and a sense of adventure.
Exploring the Valley Isle
After catching some waves, it’s time to explore the breathtaking landscapes of Maui. The Maui Audio Tour is your ticket to discovering the island’s hidden gems at your own pace. Available from 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM, this self-guided tour takes you through the lush Iao Valley, the majestic Haleakala Crater, and the serene Wai’anapanapa State Park.
Better than a guided tour - I loved this app. It has a lot of great information and tips that you probably wouldn’t find or think to look for yourself. It suggests places to stop, vendors to check out, restrictions at sites, and gives historical and cultural details.
With location-triggered stories and tips, you’ll feel like you have a personal guide in your car. The tour works offline, so you can enjoy the journey without worrying about connectivity. Whether you’re marveling at the black sand beaches or hiking the Pipiwai Trail, the audio tour enriches your experience with fascinating insights.
Sunset Serenity and Local Flavors
As the day winds down, take a leisurely stroll through the historic streets of Lahaina. Once the capital of the Hawaiian Kingdom, Lahaina is rich in history and culture. Explore the local shops and art galleries, and don’t miss the chance to dine at one of the waterfront restaurants.
The overcast skies create a cozy atmosphere, perfect for enjoying a meal with a view. As you savor the local flavors, reflect on the day’s adventures and plan your next island escapade. Whether you’re watching the sunset over the ocean or listening to the gentle waves, Lahaina offers a serene escape from the holiday hustle and bustle.
