Things to Do in West Maui.

The headline act: a natural geyser blasting up to 100 feet off the lava shelf at Maui's wild northwest tip. Free, untamed, and best at high tide.

A protected bay of emerald water and thriving reef — summer snorkeling with turtles and tropical fish, and in winter, one of the best surf breaks in the world. No facilities; walk in through the forest with reef-safe sunscreen only.

A sheltered crescent perfect for first-time snorkelers, linked to the Kapalua Coastal Trail — an easy oceanfront walk past lava points and bays. At Makaluapuna Point, the jagged "Dragon's Teeth" rock formations bite into the sky.

Three miles of gold sand backed by an oceanfront path. Snorkel Black Rock (Puʻu Kekaʻa) in the morning, then return at sundown for the nightly cliff-dive torch ceremony honoring a royal tradition.

The historic heart of West Maui, rebuilding with strength after the 2023 wildfires. Visit with aloha — patronize the businesses that are open, follow posted areas, and let the town lead its own story. The Old Lāhainā Lūʻau remains one of Hawaiʻi's most authentic evenings.
