We’ve completely fallen head over heels for Maui, and it’s easy to see why. Our first family trip to Hawaii was to Maui (even with a baby!), but our most recent visit, now with a tween and older child, unveiled a completely new dimension of this stunning island, often called the Valley Isle. Every moment was pure joy, and after reading our insider tips, we’re confident you’ll feel the same! In this guide, we’re excited to share the best things to do in Maui, especially for families. We’ll cover fantastic family-friendly accommodations, delicious dining options, and essential travel tips to make your Maui vacation unforgettable.
Maui offers an incredible array of activities for families, and we loved it so much that we’ve already booked a return trip later this year! In fact, we just came back from our second trip in just 9 months, this time bringing along our extended family, from toddlers to seniors. Stay tuned for even more updates as we continue to explore this island paradise! To make these kinds of trips happen, we rely on our Southwest Companion Passes and travel credit cards!
Where to Stay in Maui with Kids
Maui is made up of several distinct areas to consider for your stay, each offering a unique vibe. For most families, the calmer, drier western coast of Maui is ideal, compared to the rainier eastern side or the north shore. However, don’t hesitate to explore those areas too!
West Maui – The coastline from Ka’anapali up to Kapalua is perfect if you’re seeking relaxation, beach and resort time, and great food. Many families, including ours, find this area ideal for their first trip to Hawaii with a baby or toddler because it’s so convenient and beautiful!
Following the devastating Lahaina fire in 2023, it’s important to remember that many residents are still displaced, and some businesses are still in the process of reopening. The southern end of Ka’anapali has also experienced significant beach erosion in recent years. If beach time is a top priority, consider accommodations north or south of Black Rock.
South Maui – On our recent Maui trips, we chose to stay in South Maui for a different experience, and we loved it so much that we returned with our extended family! The primary areas here are Kihei to the north and Wailea to the south, both offering easy access to the airport and many of Maui’s best family attractions, but with distinct atmospheres.
Kihei is more densely populated than Wailea, offering a wide range of condos and smaller hotels. Keep in mind that Kihei Road often separates accommodations from the beach. If being beachfront is crucial, use satellite views on Google Maps to verify proximity before booking.
Kihei’s major advantages are its affordability compared to Wailea resorts and its abundance of excellent restaurants across various price points. While we stayed in Wailea, we often dined in Kihei. You’ll also be closer to Mā‘alaea harbor, the main harbor for tourist boats and home to the Maui Ocean Center.
Wailea is known for its luxury, hosting Maui’s top-tier resorts and a selection of great condos (including where we stayed). Dining options are a bit more upscale and limited. Wailea is built on a slope leading down to the ocean; the further from the beach, the higher the elevation. Be prepared for a walk back uphill if you plan to walk to the beach! However, the biggest draw is the unparalleled proximity to the ocean in Wailea.

Awesome Things to Do in Maui for Families
Our Maui trips have been action-packed, and we wouldn’t have it any other way! There’s just so much to experience. We’re already planning another visit this winter and can’t wait to discover even more.
Beach Bliss
Maui boasts countless incredible beaches, and we were fortunate to be a short two-minute walk from Keawakapu Beach (pictured above at sunset). This gem is somewhat “hidden in plain sight,” located just north of the more popular Ulua, Mokapu, and Wailea beaches. While those beaches are lined with large resorts, Keawakapu is mostly surrounded by houses, resulting in fewer crowds. And yes, there’s parking available! My daughter spent a delightful hour watching turtles swim near the shore. But let’s keep this spot our little secret, okay?
If you’re staying in Kihei, the Kameole beaches – Kam I, Kam II, and Kam III – are must-visits. Kam I and II are ideal for families with young children due to their calm waters, with Kam I featuring a particularly expansive stretch of golden sand. Snorkeling is great at both near the rocks separating the beaches. Kam III is perfect for tweens and teens wanting to boogie board, thanks to the more active surf, and the grassy park above offers shade and a playground.
In West Maui, Kapalua Bay and Napili Bay offer gentle waters for young children and excellent snorkeling for older family members. They are popular, so arrive early! Ka’anapali Beach is also a fantastic choice for all ages, with the widest sandy areas north and south of Black Rock.
Snorkeling at Molokini Crater with Kids
If you’ve dreamed of snorkeling in crystal-clear waters that feel like a giant aquarium, Molokini Crater is a must-do! It’s located just off the coast of Wailea, with most tours departing from Mā‘alaea harbor, a short and easy ride.
Four Winds Molokini snorkeling tour provided an outstanding experience for all ages, offering all the equipment we needed. We brought our own snorkel gear, but our daughter was excited to try the Sea Board, as she wasn’t in the mood for swimming. (She might look grumpy in the photo above because it took many photo attempts – the Sea Board was fantastic for viewing fish without getting fully in the water). We’ll definitely consider them again on our next Maui trip to explore Coral Gardens, which may not have the same visibility but boasts incredible wildlife diversity.
We opted for a morning tour, which we highly recommend as snorkeling conditions are best then, and the boat ride is smoother.
Whale Watching Adventures
Even if getting in the water isn’t your thing, if you’re visiting Maui between December and April, a whale watching boat tour is essential! Currently, all boats depart from Mā’alaea, just north of Kihei.
We had an unforgettable time with the Pacific Whale Foundation, witnessing mom and baby humpback whales breaching throughout the afternoon. It was truly magical. We even brought our baby in a carrier, and it’s suitable for all ages. The boats are large and stable, offering a smooth ride (mostly) and indoor seating if needed.
More recently, we took our whole family whale watching with Quicksilver and had another fantastic experience. Quicksilver was also more budget-friendly than PWF, which was helpful for our group of 13! Quicksilver offers open-air seating on the upper deck and indoor seating downstairs, with plenty of space to move around, even during the busy holiday season.
Quicksilver uses even-numbered slips (as does Four Winds for Molokini tours), located further from the check-in area. It’s a bit of a walk for anyone with mobility issues, while Pacific Whale Foundation uses slips closer to check-in. Limited parking is available near the even slips, or you can drop off passengers there before parking in the main lot near the odd slips.
Maui Ocean Center: Aquarium Magic
If you need a break from the sun, the Maui Ocean Center (aquarium), also located at Mā‘alaea harbor, is a wonderful option. It features excellent educational exhibits on Hawaiian ocean life, from fish and marine mammals to vibrant corals. Don’t miss the fascinating exhibit on the island of Kaho‘olawe and the immersive 3D humpback whale experience.
The Maui Ocean Center is pricey, so be sure to buy your tickets in advance to save money, or use your ASTC membership card from your local science museum for free admission for at least two adults.
I must also mention the excellent (but pricey) Dole Whip station on-site. Even my fruit-averse tween was converted! It’s conveniently located next to the play area. You can also enjoy a sustainable sit-down lunch with harbor views at Seascape Restaurant – a bit expensive, but look for the three-course business lunch special and the kids’ menu.
Haleakala Sunset Spectacle
A trip to Haleakala National Park in the afternoon to witness the sunset from the summit is highly recommended. Start with lunch at Kula Lodge to enjoy the panoramic views before heading into the park – reservations are recommended to avoid wait times.
Once inside the park, there are excellent stops along the way. Follow the recommendations from Guide Along. We enjoyed an easy nature walk through Hosmer Grove (keep an eye out for the iconic but endangered ‘i’iwi bird in the parking lot) and then walked along the crater rim for even more breathtaking views of the cinder cones.
Haleakala was truly amazing and unique! Afternoon visits don’t require permits/reservations (unlike mornings), but bring your National Parks Pass if you have one.
While sunrise at Haleakala is popular, it’s also more challenging. Driving yourself means leaving coastal hotels around 4 am and securing a reservation. Many prefer a guided tour to avoid driving switchbacks in the dark, but pickups can be as early as 2 am depending on the season and your location.
Sunset was windier than expected, and we wished we’d brought towels or blankets in addition to layers. Some smart visitors even bring hotel bathrobes! Pack snacks and plan dinner, as it will be late when you descend. We left right at sunset (6:45 pm) and got our dinner entrees in Kihei at 8:45 pm. Sunset times vary: almost an hour earlier in winter and about 25 minutes later in summer.
ʻĪao Valley State Monument
Maui’s landscape is incredible, and ʻĪao Valley’s dramatic, lush scenery is a must-see. Beyond its natural beauty, ʻĪao Valley is historically significant as the site of Kamehameha’s 1790 battle to conquer Maui and unify the Hawaiian Islands.
Reserve your spot in advance, up to 3 days prior (speaking from experience!). We spent about an hour there, though longer hikes are possible. Much of the path is accessible for strollers and wheelchairs, offering great views for everyone.
It’s only 20 minutes from the airport, making it a perfect stop on arrival or departure day. Morning visits are best for seeing the ʻĪao Needle. Bring a light jacket, as it’s cooler and rainier than the coast.
Old Lahaina Luau: A Cultural Feast
The highly-regarded Old Lahaina Luau reopened in March 2024 after the devastating Lahaina fire. While we missed it during spring break, we experienced what is arguably Maui’s best luau over winter break!
You can choose between table and chair seating or “traditional” seating on pillows at low tables. Traditional seating is front-row, closest to the performances. Both are excellent, but book early for the best dates and seats – we secured prime view tables by booking months in advance.
Having attended many luaus across Hawaii, Old Lahaina Luau’s reputation is well-deserved. I loved the family-style table service, avoiding buffet lines, and the huge variety of dishes. The four-course menu offered fish, chicken, beef, pork, and more, and our servers readily refilled dishes. It’s also excellent for gluten-free needs (like ours), with only rolls and dessert containing gluten (and a gluten-free dessert substitution was provided). Many mixed drink options are also included in the price.
The Old Lahaina Luau show was captivating, weaving in Hawaiian lore and history. Performances included hula (with and without implements) and Tahitian dance, but note there’s no fire knife dance, as it’s Samoan, not Hawaiian.
For a more budget-friendly Polynesian entertainment option, check out the hula show at South Maui Gardens in Kihei. It’s not a luau (no food served), but food trucks are on-site for you to choose your own family-friendly meal and enjoy it at picnic tables or on your blanket. It also ends earlier than most luaus, making it a great “luau” experience for younger kids, especially if you’re from the East Coast and staying in Kihei or Wailea!
Free weekly hula shows are also available at Lahaina Cannery Mall (Sundays at 1 pm) and The Shops at Wailea (Tuesdays 5:30-6:30 pm). Double-check schedules and arrive early for parking and good spots!
Maui Kayaking Tour: Clear Kayaks and Coral Reefs
Kayaking is one of our favorite Hawaiian activities, and Maui has fantastic options! On our winter trip, we took an excellent clear kayaking tour on Olowalu reef (Coral Gardens). We hadn’t explored this area before and highly recommend it.
Our guide, Jason, shared fascinating insights into Maui’s history and marine life, making it fun for the kids by providing water cannons!
The kayaks are unique: clear-bottomed for underwater viewing and equipped with pontoons for extra stability. These features make it ideal for families kayaking with young children! The kayak bottom visibility wasn’t as clear as hoped, but the magnification from the front and sides was really neat. Serious paddlers might prefer kayaks without pontoons – my teen felt they were in the way, though I appreciated the stability while he was focused on water-cannon battles.
We booked the tour with snorkeling, great for beginners as all gear is provided, and guides offer instruction, taking you to see Olowalu’s diverse sea life. Some family members stayed with the guide and saw unique creatures, while others (less patient ones!) went turtle-hunting (success!).
The minimum age is 4, but our 3-year-old niece came along and enjoyed the ride. Everyone needs to be able to get into a kayak and sit down (kids can board on the beach, adults at the water’s edge).
Surf’s Up: Maui Surfing Lessons
What’s more Hawaiian than learning to surf in Maui? Choosing a kid-friendly surf lesson can be tricky as age and private/semi-private/group class requirements vary. We haven’t used them yet, but plan to book a lesson with Keep It Simple Hawaii, located south of Lahaina, this winter.
Keep It Simple has great reviews and family-friendly class options. Kids 5-9 can take 1-on-1 private lessons, while ages 10+ can join semi-private 2-on-1 (or 3-on-2) or “group” lessons. Their group lessons have a low ratio of one instructor per three participants (unlike some schools with up to six) at a reasonable price, and even better, the group lesson is only your group, not mixed with strangers.
Capture the Memories: Maui Family Photo Session
What better way to remember your epic Maui family trip than with professional photos? It’s also the perfect way to ensure everyone (including Mom!) is in the pictures. We opted for photos in Kauai on our recent island-hopping trip (pictured above, during a rainstorm!), but plan to do them in Maui this winter with our extended family.
We’ve had great experiences using Flytographer worldwide. It’s incredibly easy to connect with a local photographer, and in Hawaii, it’s often less expensive than hotel-recommended photographers. As of now, 11 photographers are available on Maui through Flytographer, so you can easily find one matching your style. Since all Hawaiian beaches are public with public access, permits are not needed for stunning beach photoshoots.
With many photographers on Maui through Flytographer, someone is usually available, but book early for your top choice. The availability calendar is on their site! We typically book a 60-minute session for family photos. Save $25 on your first shoot!
Even More Maui Fun for Kids?
If this list isn’t enough, check out this amazing guide to visiting Maui with kids! Written by my friend Marcie, who has visited Maui with her kids countless times, it’s packed with insider tips, maps, and itinerary ideas.
Family-Friendly Maui Restaurants (and Beyond Delicious!)
Prepare your taste buds: “yum” is an understatement! Maui boasts a thriving agriculture industry, established cattle production, and incredibly fresh seafood. Consider your food budget, as dining out for every meal in Maui can be pricey.
For large grocery hauls or big group trips in vacation rentals, Costco near the airport is a great first stop. Otherwise, smaller quantities can be found at Safeway and Foodland – don’t miss Foodland’s poke counter and sign up for their free discount card for savings.
Island Gourmet Markets in Wailea or Honolua Store in Kapalua are convenient for basic items like Maui onion chips, Aloha Maid juice, and prepared lunches (poke, sandwiches, fried chicken, moco loco plates). Don’t make a special trip, but they’re handy for beach picnics! Avoid buying dairy here, as prices are very high.
For gluten-free diets, note that most prepared foods either contain gluten or staff couldn’t confidently confirm gluten-free status. But don’t worry, I have plenty of excellent gluten-free dining options below!
These stores are owned by ABC Stores, so your receipts count towards a free souvenir for every $100 spent – easy to reach if you buy lunch, snacks, sunscreen, and a beach toy.
Ululani’s Hawaiian Shave Ice
Ululani’s has locations across the island, including Kihei and near the airport (perfect for a post-landing treat, as we did!). The texture is the best shave ice we’ve ever had – and we make it a mission to try a lot of shave ice.
It’s creamy and perfectly smooth. They guarantee flavor to the bottom of your bowl, and you can always request extra syrup. We still cherish memories of their Lahaina location from over a decade ago and wish them well in rebuilding.
Paia Fish Market: Fresh and Flavorful
Paia Fish Market is delicious, with locations in Paia (North Shore) and Kihei (near Wailea). We ate at both and slightly preferred the Kihei location’s food and atmosphere. Choose from various fish types, flavor profiles, and plate styles. Presentation isn’t fancy, but the taste is amazing!
The fresh catch dinner portion was enough for me to share with a child, while my husband preferred his fish tacos all to himself. A kids’ menu with basics like buttered pasta is available for picky eaters.
Gluten-free notes: Fish options, rice, and coleslaw are gluten-free (fries and potatoes sadly are not). A salad with fish on top is also an option – the Caesar dressing is gluten-free (hold the croutons).
Mama’s Fish House is also worth mentioning. It’s one of Maui’s most famous restaurants, but reservations are extremely difficult to get, especially for dinner. We’re talking 6+ months out, and your preferred date/time might not be available. If Mama’s is on your bucket list, reserve a table the day you book your flights. But even without Mama’s, your Maui family trip will be incredible and delicious.
Coconuts Fish Cafe: Casual and Delicious
Coconuts Fish Cafe offers fresh fish in a casual setting at reasonable prices… a rare and wonderful combination in Hawaii. Don’t miss the fish tacos, which my foodie husband deemed “legit.” I loved the macadamia-crusted mahi-mahi. They also serve other Hawaiian favorites like kalua pork and poke. Kids have many choices, including a child-sized grilled mahi-mahi portion.
Two Kihei locations exist, and we’ve visited both. The Kamaole location is newer and shinier, but I prefer the Azeka location’s relaxed vibe (and outdoor seating). Check out the table carvings while you wait for your food!
Gluten-free notes: Tacos (fish, steak, etc.), grilled fish, and rice are gluten-free, as are some poke options (not teriyaki). Avoid fries and Caesar salad. Mentioning Celiac Disease or gluten sensitivity ensures cross-contamination precautions.
Gather on Maui: Views and Variety
This newer restaurant, just south of Wailea resorts on a golf course, offers stunning views! Go for an early dinner and stay for sunset; you won’t be disappointed.
The menu is eclectic with something for everyone. I loved the Thai coconut catch – tom kha with grilled fish (not pictured as it was devoured too quickly!). My husband rated the smash burger as one of the best ever! A kids’ menu includes “keiki cocktails” for extra-special young travelers.
Gluten-free notes: Many clearly marked gluten-free options at Gather on Maui! My daughter loved my Thai coconut catch and shared steak with her cousin. All sides are gluten-free, and several desserts too.
Monkeypod Kitchen by Merriman
Monkeypod is excellent for a higher-end meal, serving wonderful fresh fish and local Maui beef! Even the kids’ menu includes these options in smaller, kid-friendly portions (and prices). Reservations are recommended, but they also hold tables for walk-ins. Locations in Wailea and Ka’anapali.
Cocktail lovers, add this to your itinerary! Merriman’s restaurants are known for their mai tais topped with delicious liliko’i cream.
Gluten-free notes: Monkeypod’s menu doesn’t specify gluten-free items, so discuss options with your server. Gluten-free dishes are limited, but basics like steak and fish are well-prepared.
Leoda’s Kitchen and Pie Shop: Sandwiches and Pie Perfection
Friend and writer Lana raved about Leoda’s Kitchen and Pie Shop south of Lahaina. We checked it out and it was the perfect stop after our kayaking tour.
They have amazing sandwiches, mac & cheese, and of course, pie! Local favorites include chocolate mac nut and Olowalu lime! It’s popular, so order online for pickup to save time – we didn’t and waited a while, but it was worth it; the sandwiches were excellent!
Gluten-free options at Leoda’s are hit-or-miss. No gluten-free bread, but sandwiches can be lettuce wraps or salads. My 10-year-old with Celiac wasn’t thrilled. However, the fryer is gluten-free! The smoothie truck and fruit market next door are convenient, especially while waiting in line.
Maui Brewing Company: Brews and Bar Bites
Not the most traditional Hawaiian dining, but Maui Brewing Company serves good fish tacos, bar food, and beers with ample seating. The Kihei location stays open until 10 pm, later than most area restaurants closing at 9 pm. Keep this in mind for late dinners, like after Haleakala sunset – note the child asleep at the table in the background!
Momona Bakery and Coffee Shop: Morning Delights
Need an early morning boost en route to Hana or the airport? Stop by Momona Bakery and Coffee Shop in Kahului – easy to find where HI-311 ends north. Amazing pastries and great avocado toast for a sit-down breakfast. Momona opens at 6 am weekdays and 7 am weekends.
Kula Lodge: Lunch with a View
For lunch with a view, Kula Lodge on Haleakala’s slopes can’t be beat! It’s the perfect halfway stop heading up the mountain.
Enjoy gorgeous views of Maui unfolding before you, all the way to the West Maui Mountains. Reserve an outdoor table, each like a mini-pavilion for a relaxed, uncrowded experience. Terraced tables ensure every table has a stunning view!
Delicious, fresh food with locally sourced ingredients when possible. Kids love the non-stop pizza oven at midday. The adjacent general store offers snacks for your day’s adventures above the clouds.
Ichiban Okazuya: Local Japanese-Hawaiian Plates
Hawaiian culture reflects a blend of influences, from native Hawaiians to Portuguese traders, English speakers, and Japanese laborers. Japanese influence is strong in Hawaiian cuisine, evident at Ichiban Okazuya.
This small takeaway stand serves fresh, hot Japanese food in Hawaiian-style plate lunches, popular with locals – try delicious chicken katsu with mac salad! It’s near the ʻĪao Valley exit and convenient to Mā’alaea Harbor and Maui Ocean Center. Avoid soups unless you have a good picnic spot (learned from experience!).
Island Vintage Coffee: Açai Bowls and More
Island Vintage Coffee, a small Hawaiian chain, offers more than coffee. It’s a good place for açai bowls with gluten-free granola and gluten-free pastries. Locations in The Shops at Wailea and Whalers Village in Lahaina.
Other great Maui açai bowl options include Sweet Hula in South Maui Gardens (Kihei), Brekkie Bowls in Wailea, and Baya Bowls in Lahaina.
Maui Travel Tips for Families
Beyond activities and dining, here are tips to make your Maui trip amazing.
Rental Car Essential
Yes, you’ll definitely need a rental car on Maui unless you plan to stay exclusively at your hotel and use limited shuttles. Read about renting a car in Hawaii for cost-saving tips and car selection.
Bring the correct car seat for your child. Hawaii’s updated car seat law requires rear-facing until age 2, harnessed car seats until age 4, and booster seats until age 10 or 4’9″ (average for an 11-year-old). I’m a certified Child Passenger Safety Technician and have written suggestions for the best travel car seats by age.
For driving directions, download the GuideAlong app! We bought the Hawaii bundle covering all islands and used it extensively on Maui and Kauai. It added so much context and history, our kids asked for it in the car.
Luau Timing
If you’re new to Hawaii (or haven’t been in a while), attend a luau! They’re fun for all ages and unique. But they all run late.
With young kids or coming from the Eastern time zone, schedule the luau later in your trip, when everyone’s adjusted to Hawaii time. My favorite is the second-to-last night – acclimated bodies, but before packing stress.
Sun Protection is Key
Sun protection in Hawaii is crucial. Even small mistakes lead to painful sunburns. Long-sleeve rash guards for everyone and frequent sunscreen reapplication for faces and hands (my husband learned this the hard way) are strongly recommended.
Having spent much time in Hawaii with kids, reapplying sunscreen on water-loving kids’ torsos often enough feels impossible. More rash guard = more play, less sunscreen time! My daughter loves these suits, my son lived in this rash guard, and my husband wore this one daily (especially for snorkeling head coverage).
Use reef-safe sunscreen in Hawaii – it’s the law! Thinkbaby sunscreen and All Good sport sunscreen have worked well for us. Pack 3oz sizes for carry-on, and stash tubes in everyone’s backpack. I also like a reef-safe sunscreen stick; kids prefer sticks, and they don’t count against liquid allowances. We use sticks as backup and for reapplication.
Visiting Hawaii with a baby? You’ll need non-sunscreen options. Check out my Hawaii packing list for kids for ideas!
Souvenir Strategies
Hawaii souvenir requests are thankfully less intense than other trips! We set item limits, not dollar limits. One t-shirt, one stuffed animal, and one food item works well.
For meaningful souvenirs, spend time in Paia town. Many great stores of all types are there. Maui Hands (also in Makawao and Wailea) showcases local artists’ work in all mediums. Mele Ukelele is great for ukeleles and ukulele lessons. Try Maui Swap Meet in Kahului or Kalama Village in Kihei for smaller vendors.
Don’t miss the free ABC store Hawaii mug souvenir! Not the most authentic, but a family favorite! Get one for every $100 in ABC store (and affiliate) receipts, no extra cost.
Pace Your Time
It’s tempting to cram everything in, especially if Hawaii trips are infrequent! But slow down and enjoy the sunshine and Aloha spirit. It’s not just a saying; Hawaii’s people are special. Overscheduling makes it hard to experience the human side of travel.
Balance busy and relaxed days. A boat tour morning followed by an afternoon rest before sunset beach time. After Hana or Haleakala sunset trips, avoid major activities the next morning. You and your kids will thank me!
Maui Airport Tips
Maui’s airport (Kahului, OGG) is on the north side. Security lines can be long during peak times (early morning, evening, school breaks). TSA PreCheck is very helpful. The Chase Sapphire Reserve credit card includes a PreCheck fee credit! Each adult needs PreCheck, but kids can accompany parents.
Hawaii airports require luggage scanning at an agricultural inspection station on departure. For checked luggage, scan before check-in, so allow extra time. Carry-on bags are inspected after TSA, before the gate area.
Maui’s consolidated rental car facility is connected to the terminal by a cool electric tram (neat crosswalks!), or a 5-minute walk for those without mobility issues or excessive luggage.
