The winter of 2025 has been a long and harsh one, one that doesn’t show any signs of releasing its grip on the nation, encouraging the perpetually chilly to consider Easter vacations somewhere warm and tropical, with Maui being the top vacation destination. Offering high temperatures in the 80s and lows that rarely fall below the high 60s, travelers can kick off their parkas, slip into their flip flops, and relax in comfort and luxury, especially when they choose Maui Life Realty for their holiday hideaways. This guide to planning a 2025 Easter getaway to Maui will shine a light on the dark days leading up to your time in the sun!
Pack for Summer
The weather is scheduled to be absolutely beautiful during your vacation with us and as such, you can pack light (shorts, swimsuits, flip flops) and leave room for the souvenirs you know you will be bringing back home with you. And if you are traveling with children, leave the basket behind, they never travel well anyway, and plan on a quick stop by the Aloha Dollar Store, located at 840 Waine’e Street in Lahaina for a cute, and disposable Easter basket. Your alter ego, the Easter Bunny, may even find some sweet little gifts to fill the basket, or you may want to add another stop on your itinerary, dipping into IT’S SUGAR in Whaler’s Village for some sweet treats that will be most appreciated. The important thing is you don’t have to worry that snooping children will find baskets or your candy stash before they walk into the living room on Easter day and see it sitting in plain sight!
As the Sun Rises Over the Sea
A Hawaiian sunrise should be viewed at least once in everyone’s life, and Easter is the perfect day for rising early. Because you chose a beachfront escape for this vacation experience, you don’t even have to get out of your pajamas, you can walk out onto the balcony and wait for the show to begin, but remember, sunrises hit harder when walking along water’s edge, feeling the warm waters curl around your ankles as your toes squish together in wet sands, and watching the sky burst into color after a long and dark night. These early morning moments spent waiting for the world to awaken will be the source of some of your most cherished memories, tucked away in your heart where they will remain warm and beautiful, no matter what the weather may be where you hail from.
Hanging Out with the Easter Bunny
Your children are your world, and you want to make sure that you give them everything they want and need, including a visit with the Easter Bunny. Maui Golf & Sports Park, located about 20+ miles away from your holiday hideaway at 80 Maalaea Road in Wailuku, offers Hawaii’s Biggest Easter Egg Event, ensuring that you will remain your children’s hero even after taking them away from their home! This super cool event actually takes place over three days, April 18, 19, & 20 and features over 55,000 eggs for its Easter egg hunt, the chance to meet the Easter Bunny, Food, drinks, and the chance to play unlimited games of mini golf and two hours of unlimited play on the bumper boats. Your kids can also rock climb and hop around on their X-treme Bungee Trampoline as much as they like over three hours, ensuring that when your return to your Hawaiian retreat at the end of the day, you will probably be carrying in your tiny celebrants! The unlimited Easter Party Pass costs $55 per kid, or you can pay just $10 for them to participate in the hunt only. Reservations can be made on Maui Golf & Sports Park website.
Brunch of Champions
Every holiday revolves around a meal, and at Easter, that meal tends to be brunch. Many of our local restaurants will be offering some sort of meal to commemorate the occasion, but we think this would be the perfect time to explore your seasonal escape, ordering an Easter feast from Hulu Grill, located at 2435 Kaanapali Parkway in Lahaina, you can preorder an Easter meal, choosing between a Honey Smoked Ham & King Crab Easter Brunch and a Prime Rib Easter Brunch, both offering all the trimmings for up to four people. The scents that waft through your house when reheating in our fully equipped kitchens will bring you joy, a joy that will reach new heights because you didn’t need to do any of the hard work!

Spoil yourself with a special island getaway to Maui this Memorial Day. Book a trip full of fun and excitement or rest and relaxation or create a balanced mixture that’s sure to keep everyone happy and excited every day. With an average air temperature of 76 and a water temperature to match it, you’ll want to plan as much time outdoors, with a sprinkle of indoor activities for an unexpected rainy day or just to get out of the sun for a while. No matter what you choose, there are plenty of activities to create a Maui Memorial Day trip full of memories that are unique to you and your loved ones.
Beaches
There are plenty of things to do and see during an island vacation, but you’ll find yourself at the beach nearly every day. This Memorial Day, take a walk along the shore, swim in the Pacific, or try a new activity like surfing or stand-up paddleboarding. No matter how you spend your time on the beach this Memorial Day, make sure to pack the sun protection and some beach snacks for lazing the day away.
Snorkeling
Many charter companies will take you out into the Pacific for a chance to swim and discover what lies beneath the water. Keep your eyes peeled for turtles, fish, and even whales and dolphins swimming nearby. Some charters spend the whole excursion in one spot, while others may take you to more.
Wildlife Watching For a Maui Memorial Day
If you didn’t see them on your snorkeling trip, charter a boat that seeks them out. There are several charters in the marinas of Maui that will take you out in search of dolphins, whales, and other sea life. Bring your camera for pictures of whales breaching, or dolphins coming up for a little air. You might even win their companionship as they follow alongside the vessel.
Road to Hana
Pack up the rental car and go on a sightseeing excursion on land this Memorial Day. While the Road to Hana is “only” 64 miles, it’s full of hairpin turns, one-lane bridges, and plenty of blind spots. You may start out thinking a 25-mile-an-hour speed limit is slow, but you’ll be thankful for it as the road twists and turns. The road to Hana isn’t just driving. There are scenic hikes to beautiful waterfalls, lava tubes and rocks, black sand beaches, and historic sites like Charles Lindbergh’s gravesite. You can brave the road on your own and make your own stops, or you can join a tour with a knowledgeable guide who will take you to many of the best landmarks and hiking spots along the way. However, you navigate the path, make sure to pack plenty of drinks, snacks, and your camera.
Sweet Treats
Take a short drive or walk from your vacation rental and you’ll find a restaurant or shop with authentic Hawaiian food. For a sweet treat, there are several that serve Hawaiian shaved ice or stop by Hula Cookies & Ice Cream for ice cream, cookies, or an ice cream cookie sandwich made to order with your choice of cookies and ice cream. If you’re in the mood for pie, get a taste of mainland sweetness at Maui Pie Co., owned and operated by the family behind Grand Traverse Pie Co. in Michigan.
Haleakalā National Park
Hawaii has many national memorials, parks, and historic sites, and there’s one on Maui. Visit Haleakalā National Park in Kula. It’s a special place full of both ancient and modern Hawaiian culture. The park also cares for several endangered species, some of which exist nowhere else in the world. See stark volcanic landscapes and sub-tropical rain forests and more on a hike through the park’s backcountry.
Lahaina Banyan Court Park
A Memorial Day trip to Maui is usually packed with fun in the sun. Take a break from the sun and bask in the shade under the oldest tree on the island. Head to Lahaina Banyan Court Park in Lahaina, a historic town just off the harbor and home to the oldest living Banyan tree on the island. The tree is over 150 years old and actually isn’t a single tree. Over the years, several other Banyan trees grew and “merged” to make a single beautiful tree.
Maui Memorial Day Memories
From a cozy one-bedroom condo for a small family getaway to a spacious six-bedroom home for a Memorial Day reunion, Maui Life Realty has a vacation rental that’s just right for you this Memorial Day.
