Days of Fun in MAUI By Sarah Etinas
BLACK SAND BEACH
Maui is regarded as one of the best vacation destinations in the world. With sunny beaches, fantastic snorkelling and the exciting road to Hana, it is an amazing destination, especially for families, whether you’d like to spend your time relaxing or adventuring. As a resident of the neighbouring island of Oahu, my family and I have made many trips to Maui. I began visiting with my parents when I was just six years old. Ever since then, we’ve visited regularly. In other words, most activities on itinerary below have been tested and approved by yours truly. CHILL BY THE POOL OR AT THE BEACH After the lengthy flight to Hawaii, you may want to take things slow on your first day. Simply check into a lovely hotel, like Grand Wailea. With its oceanfront location and top-notch service, you’ll immediately feel like you’re in paradise. 24 Ultimate Family Vacations | 2021

Spend your Hawaiian vacation exploring everything from black sand beaches to a farm with friendly goats
Watch the world’s only water elevator at the Grand Wailea Resort Once you settle into your Hawaiian-styled room, head to the pool to try out the dozen thrilling water slides. Bonus: instead of climbing back up the stairs for repeat rides, take the world’s only water elevator back to the top. If you like, you can combine your pool day with a beach day. After all, Makena Beach, a.k.a. Big Beach, is just 10 minutes
