Slow down and embrace island living. Let sea turtles set the pace as you snorkel alongside them. Relax on a beach under palm trees. The only rush is the one you'll get from seeing a pod of dolphins from your kayak. Or from feeling the wind on your face as you bike coastal roads. There's no need to hurry on Maui and Lanai.
Days 1-2 Bike to Nakalele Point and watch for the impressive blowhole created by the combination of high tide and powerful surf beneath the rocks | Enjoy fresh fruit under palm trees by the beach | Pedal along the coast of West Maui, keeping your eyes open for whales | Spin along routes with stunning views of the West Maui Mountains and coastline | Explore the villages of Makawao and Paia | Savor fresh local flavors with farm-to-table fare.
Day 3 Watch for dolphins as you kayak through the pristine waters of Makena Bay | Snorkel with parrot fish and sea turtles near a colorful reef | Visit Lahaina, a charming island town with great shops and delicious shaved ice | Ferry to Lanai, the smallest inhabited island in Hawaii | Options abound at our splendid hotel—swim or snorkel at Hulopoe Beach, treat yourself at the spa or luxuriate poolside.
Days 4-5 Walk on the blissful Koloiki Ridge Trail amid guava and eucalyptus trees as you enjoy panoramic vistas of Maui, Molokai and the Pacific Ocean | Delve into the ancient traditions and plantation-era history at the Lanai Culture & Heritage Center | On our last morning, sleep in or greet the day with a scenic walk along the coast.

I simply can't imagine a better way to immerse yourself in the life of a region, to explore hidden corners and appreciate nuances while enjoying the benefits and enormous satisfaction of traveling under your own power. These are experiences you cannot have behind the wheel of a car, or on a train or a tour bus. Active travel is, at its heart, a way of connecting more authentically with the world. Sure, Backroads provides amazing leaders, superb accommodations and meals, and opportunities you could never arrange on your own. But all of our comprehensive planning and support is aimed at something far simpler: bringing you the immediate, highly personal satisfaction of discovering a new world on your own terms.
