Where the group sleeps

  • Wailea Vacation Rentals (Private Villas)$500–$3,000 / night

    Privately managed oceanfront villas with private pools, chef kitchens, and direct beach access — the group's own slice of Maui.

    Sleeps 16

What you do

  • Old Lahaina Luau

    Maui's most authentic luau — oceanfront, fire dancers, traditional imu ceremony, and a feast that spans the entire Pacific.

  • Snorkeling at Molokini Crater

    Half-submerged volcanic crater teeming with reef fish and manta rays — visibility up to 150 feet in protected waters.

  • Haleakalā Sunrise & Crater Hike

    Watch the sunrise above the cloud layer from 10,023 feet at the summit — one of Hawaii's most profound natural experiences.

  • Four Seasons Spa Wailea (Moana Treatment)

    Lomi lomi massage and volcanic clay wraps in a Forbes Five-Star oceanfront spa — Maui's most indulgent afternoon.

  • Road to Hana Guided Tour

    Guided drive through 617 curves and 59 bridges past black sand beaches, bamboo forests, and roadside pineapple stands.

  • Private Catamaran Sunset Sail

    Private charter along the Kaanapali coast with champagne, whale watching (seasonal), and a Maui sunset.

Where you eat

  • Mama's Fish House (Paia)

    Reservations open months in advance for a reason — the freshest fish on Maui, named on the menu by the boat and captain who caught it.

  • Spago (Four Seasons Wailea)

    Wolfgang Puck's oceanfront Maui outpost with Pacific Rim inflections — the splurge dinner that lives in the group chat forever.

  • Paia Fish Market

    Order at the counter, eat on a picnic table, and get the fresh-catch fish tacos that every Maui local recommends first.

  • Lineage (Wailea)

    Chef Sheldon Simeon's celebration of local ingredients and plantation-era heritage — soulful, inventive, and deeply Hawaiian.

  • Kō Restaurant (Fairmont Kea Lani)

    Plantation-heritage menu with Maui-grown produce and a setting that's simultaneously romantic and group-friendly.

  • Mala Ocean Tavern

    Oceanfront steaks + local fish — group-friendly West Maui table
