Sailing

Paragon Sailing Charters (244 2087) and Kapaluakai (665 0344) set sail from Lahaina.
Snacks

Food is not always available near trails, so take some fruit and sweet snacks.
Snorkeling/Scuba

Hawai’i’s warm clear waters, alive with colorful fish, sea turtles, dolphins, and coral, are worldfamous for snorkeling and scuba diving. The adventurous can explore lava pinnacles, tubes, and caves teeming with marine life. Beginner and certified scuba excursions leave from several beaches around the island as well as Mā’alaea and Lahaina Harbors. Equipment can be rented in shops and beach kiosks.
Spinning Dolphin Charters

The one and only choice for sport fishing excursions off Lāna’i. Spinning Dolphin offers half- and full-day charters for up to six people.
Sturdy Shoes

Lava is brittle and sharp and will tear your soles, so strong shoes with good traction are recommended.
Sunscreen

The tropical sun is strong, so the frequent application of sunscreen is essential.
Tennis

There are about 100 courts on Maui. Public courts are available on a first come, first served basis. The courts at resorts such as Kapalua, Kā’anapali, Wailea, and Mākena are usually reserved for hotel guests.
The Challenge at Mānele

American golf legend Jack Nicklaus designed this awesome course, built on natural lava outcroppings overlooking the Mānele Bay Hotel, Hulopo’e Bay, and the Pacific Ocean. The 12th hole plays from a cliff 150 ft above the crashing surf and requires a demanding 200-yard tee shot across the ocean.
The Dunes at Maui Lani

Located on the isthmus that gives Maui its nickname of the Valley Isle, the Dunes layout has been frequently compared to classic British courses. Designer Robin Nelson did, in fact, travel to Scotland to study the links courses and integrated some of their features into this par 72.
The Experience at Kō’ele

Designed by golf great Greg Norman and architect Ted Robinson, this award-winning championship course presents challenging fairways, creative water features, and a demanding signature hole that drops 200 ft to a wooded gorge.
