A vacation to Maui never gets old! There are always new activities, experiences, dining options, events, and locations to be explored. From an Alpaca farm located on the slopes of Haleakala volcano to family movie nights under the stars a block from one of the world’s best beaches, we have assembled a fun list of new things to do on Maui in 2024.
Maui Brewing Company in Kaanapali
Hawaii’s largest craft brewery has grown impressively over the last 10 years. From one mid-size brewery and restaurant in Kahana on the island of Maui to a large custom-built brewery in Kihei and five restaurants across two islands. Now you can enjoy sipping your favorite local beers like Bikini Blonde or Coconut Hiwa while overlooking Kaanapali Beach. The Kaanapali restaurant opens for lunch at 11am daily and features live music from 6pm to 8pm each night. Enjoy a night of local brews and walk along the Kaanapali beach path back to the Kaanapali Alii.

After your workout walk the to beach in less than a minute and take a relaxing plunge!
Hula Grill & Leilani's Back & Better Than Ever
Your favorite oceanfront Whaler's Village dining options, Hula Grill and Leilani's on the Beach had altered/reduced dining options for many months preceding last year's devasting Lahaina fires. We are happy to share that most of 2024 has returned to normal lunch and dining schedules at these staple eateries! Both restaurants are open daily for lunch and dinner with live music performed each night. Hula Grill even has a nightly Hula performance/routine that starts at 7:00pm for all diners to enjoy. We recommend making a reservation before you arrive so you can secure a great table for the entertainment!
