5 Best Boat Tours on Maui: Molokini, Lanai, Sunset Sails, and Whale Watching

The 5 Best Boat Tours on Maui

Maui is an ocean-first island. Even if you spend your mornings on the beach and your afternoons chasing sunset viewpoints, there is something about getting offshore that makes the whole place click.

If you are trying to pick one or two boat days for your trip, these are five tours that consistently deliver the classic Maui moments.

A Stunning Start to Winter on Hawaiʻi Island

The first snow of the season has settled on Mauna Kea, and with it comes one of the most striking contrasts anywhere in the Pacific.

Average Snowfall on Mauna Kea

What to Expect This La Niña Season

Winter on Maui always feels a little different from the rest of the year, and this season comes with an extra twist.

A Wetter Season Ahead
