Custom Private Tour of Maui: Valley Isle Full-Day Cultural & Adventure Experience
Choose your own pace on a private full-day tour around Maui’s dramatic coasts, valleys, and farms. From solar-powered chocolate tastings to blowholes and lavender fields, this customizable trip pairs active options with cultural context.
The Experience
Before You Go
Wear traction-ready footwear
Sturdy hiking shoes are recommended for lava rock, uneven forest paths, and optional short hikes to blowholes.
Bring swimwear and quick-dry towel
Several optional stops include snorkeling and freshwater pools — plan to change and dry off quickly.
Share cruise details at booking
Cruise ship passengers must provide ship name and docking times; the tour won’t wait for late re-boarding.
Pack reef-safe sunscreen and a hat
Sun exposure is intense during coastal stops; choose mineral sunscreen to protect reefs.
Local Knowledge
Hidden Gems
- •Small family-owned distillery serving farm-to-glass cocktails on a seasonal menu
- •A lesser-visited tidepool stretch near Dragons Teeth for tide-formed pools at low tide
Wildlife
- •Green sea turtles (honu) in calm bays
- •Hawaiian seabirds like noddies and shearwaters along cliffs
Conservation Note
Many coastal and reef areas are fragile; use reef-safe sunscreen, avoid touching coral, and follow guide instructions to minimize impact.
Maui’s valleys have been centers of Hawaiian chiefdoms and taro agriculture; later waves of immigrant labor shaped the island’s multicultural communities and food traditions.
