See a Maui Waterfall
Maui has so many natural wonders, and the waterfalls are particularly beautiful, making for a fantastic setting for a romantic day out.
Make it an adventure by hiking to a waterfall or driving through Maui's scenic landscapes. Take your camera along for some photos. If you're thinking of proposing on Valentine's Day, the scenery of Maui would certainly lend itself to that.
Before you go, check the current accessibility and weather conditions, as these can affect the waterfall areas. For more inspiration, have a look at our guide to the stunning waterfalls of Maui.
Go on a Snorkeling Adventure
Want a bit of adventure on your romantic trip to Maui? Why not go exploring the waters together by going snorkeling? Molokini is one of the most popular snorkel spots on Maui. It's a crescent-shaped island about 3 miles off the southwest coast, and you can get there on a boat tour.
Choose an excursion appropriate to your level of experience, then relax together for the rest of the day. Spend the morning on the water and the afternoon at the beach so that you get to enjoy both halves of your Maui day.
Go Whale Watching
If you're visiting around Valentine's Day, it's also whale-watching season in Maui. Whale watching is a popular winter activity around Molokini and is another excellent option for couples. You can go on a guided whale watching tour or, indeed, try to spot them from your oceanfront rental.
Take a Sunset Sail
Watching the sun set over the Pacific is always pretty romantic. Make it even more special by going out on the water together. Sail Trilogy is recommended for a romantic sunset sailing trip, where you and your partner can make long lasting Valentine's Day memories.
Spend a relaxed afternoon at the beach, come back to the rental to get ready, and then head out for an evening on the water. A sunset sail is the perfect accompaniment to a Valentine's Day dinner in Maui, so that you can experience two romantic activities in one night.
Relax With a Couples Massage
You don't have to be out on adventures all of Valentine's Day. Remember to slow down and relax as well.
Consider booking a couples massage or another spa treatment whilst you're there. Zensations Spa Maui on the west side is one option; they offer couples massages and other treatments.
A spa visit is the perfect way to unwind after a morning of snorkeling, hiking, or just generally exploring. Finish the day off with a quiet evening and a meal together.
Visit MauiWine
If you both like wine, consider adding MauiWine to your Valentine's Day plans.
MauiWine in Kula makes wines from their own estate-grown grapes, pineapple, and raspberries. You can have a glass or a tasting flight amongst the jacaranda and eucalyptus trees with views out over the southern coast of Maui.
Enjoy a Valentine's Day Dinner in Maui
Dinner for two is the ultimate Valentine's Day thing, and there are loads of great dining options on Maui.
When you're choosing your Valentine's dinner in Maui, think about the kind of date you're after. Are you going for an elegant dinner after a fairly relaxed day? Or are you after something more casual after a day of activity?
Mama's Fish House in Paia is a great place for a special night out. Maui Condo and Home rates it as one of the best on the north shore for seafood, ocean views, and island-style fare and advises booking in advance.
Other options are DUO Steak and Seafood and The Plantation House in Kapalua. DUO serves steaks and local seafood in an open-air setting, and The Plantation House is well known for its romantic sunset dinners with views of the ocean and golf course.
Menus, hours, and the Valentine's Day specials can all change, so it's worth checking with the restaurant you've chosen and making a reservation if you can.
