9 days in Hawaii Itinerary

Once the booming capital of the Hawaiian Kingdom, the tropical paradise of Lahaina still remains one of Maui's top vacation attractions, providing both culture and recreation.

On the 23rd (Sat), observe the fascinating underwater world at Maui Ocean Center and then tour the pleasant surroundings at Wailea Beach. Get ready for a full day of sightseeing on the 24th (Sun): walk around Lahaina Banyan Court, contemplate the long history of Wo Hing Temple Museum, then whizz through the canopy at some of the top local zipline courses and adventure parks, and finally discover the deep blue sea with a scuba or snorkeling tour.
