Top 10 Free Things To Do and Attractions in Maui

"I’m a big fan of Molokini Crater, which has an inner protected area for snorkeling. You’re safe from swell and the water clarity is far better than off the shore. Molokini is also a reserve, so the ocean life is diverse and abundant. We love making the trip to Molokini, which is only a few miles off shore."

"Start the day with an express tour of snorkeling at Molokini Crater, as some boats, like Kai Kanani, have you back before 9 a.m. From there just focus on one part of the island, whether it’s experiencing Lahaina, beach-hopping in Wailea or simply taking the entire day to drive the Road to Hana."

"The last Friday of every month, the Grand Wailea hosts a Spalicious: Divas Night Out event at the Grand Wailea Spa, complete with manis, pedis and hors d’oeuvres. I was thoroughly tempted to go the evening we arrived because of the fortunate timing, but my budget and my “Hey honey, I’m ditching you with two kids to spend the afternoon at the spa” line afforded me only one spa visit during our stay. Although the Spalicious party sounded like an amazing event (hello bathing in chocolate pools!!), I wanted my experience to be one of quiet calm and relaxation."
