Maui Tours Maui tours offer perhaps the very best way to see and experience the island known as the “Magic Isle.” Sightseeing tours can put you in touch with dozens of famous landmarks, while air tours can give you a radically different perspective compared to what most people have ever achieved. And, of course, there are Maui’s limitless ocean activities, which are great for both burning off calories and getting facetoface with nature. Your choice of Maui tours should begin at Mt. Haleakala. This amazing site rises to an altitude of over 10,000 ft. above sea level—that’s almost two miles! While you’re in Haleakala National Park, you can discover its lush and expansive grounds by foot, wheel, or horseback. There are miles of trails that offer both peace and tremendous sightseeing. At the same time, for quite a different option, consider an air tour. Many of the helicopter tours on Maui will fly you over this monstrous mountain peak, and save you a lot of time. Plus, the views from above are secondtonone! Another topnotch sightseeing tour that you can choose takes you out to the Pools of Oheo. These natural tiered pools and waterfalls are located in Oheo Gulch, not far from the historic town of Hana. There are plenty of hiking trails here, too, including the famous Pipiwai Trail, which is a route that demands at least three hours, but promises an extraordinary glance at Waimoku Falls! Whale watching is another sightseeing tour option that will keep you on your own two feet, yet without the stresses and the strains of a multiplemile hike. The best place to gain this experience is at Lahaina, a whaling village that prospered during the 19 th century. Take a boat or raft out into the ocean for a few hours, and return having gotten within a football field of humpback whales! While competition for the honor is tough, there may not be a better Oahu tour than this one. Earlier we mentioned that air tours to Mt. Haleakala were popular and plentiful. But there are a number of other places to see while on a helicopter tour. From hundreds of feet in the air, you’ll look down on diverse sites such as the West Maui Mountains and the Iao Valley. Additionally, unlike most Maui tours that are restricted to the Magic Isle, air tours can take you to two of the neighboring islands! Cross the Pailolo Channel, and in a matter of minutes, you’ll be at the sea cliffs and waterfalls on the Isle of Molokai. Or cross over the Alenuihaha Channel, and discover the Big Island’s Kohala Mountains. The options are borderline infinite! If these traditional Maui tours aren’t enough for you, don’t worry. There are still plenty of other ways to appreciate the work of Mother Nature on this fantasy island. One choice that’s as obvious as they come is to participate in one of Maui’s many ocean activities. Kaanapali Beach is legendary for its snorkeling, and you’ll also find there a whalers village and daily cliff diving ceremony off of Black Rock.
