Our lobby was designed to represent the duality of your day, light vs dark. Start your morning off right with complimentary hot coffee and fresh pancakes. This is the spot to meet up with new friends and plan your adventure. When you are done at the beach or exploring the island, enjoy a game of pool, foosball, or sing your heart away during karaoke night. Otherwise, just kick back and relax in one of our floating lounge chairs and unwind after a long day of fun.

Road to Hana
We’ll take the winding drive to Hana, making stops along the way at breathtaking waterfalls to cliff jump, hiking trails, roadside farm stands, beautiful lookouts, the Ke'anae Arboretum and botanical garden, break out the boogie boards for the black sand Hamoa Beach, and explore caves and bamboo forests along the way.
Bring swimwear, towels, water, and snacks. We will stop for lunch at a local food truck spot in Hana.
-
Beach Day
If you don’t yet have a favorite beach on Maui, Makena Beach/Big Beach might just be it! Borrow our boogie boards if you dare to take on “breakneck beach,” or just relax on the sand admiring the clearest water and the sound of the crashing waves.
Bring water, snacks, swimwear, and towels! (And money, if applicable.) We will stop at a grocery store for food and snacks before the beach.
-
Drum Circle
Admire sea turtles coming up on shore as the sun slips below the horizon, enjoy a peaceful evening swim, or dance along to the beat of the many drums played at this local party. Then end the evening by watching fire dancers spinning flames in front of your very eyes. There’s something for everyone at Baldwin Beach!
Bring swimwear, something to sit on (towel, beach blanket, etc.), water, and snacks. BYOB if you choose.
-
Snorkling
Ever wonder what it would be like to swim beside giant sea turtles or schools of thousands of colorful fish?! Let us show you. Swim underwater, close to these amazing creatures without disturbing them.
Snorkel gear provided, bring snacks, water, swimwear, and towels!

Iao Valley
Explore the wonders of Wailuku at Iao Valley State Park, just three miles away. Take a leisurely stroll on a 0.6-mile paved loop to the scenic lookout and learn about Maui's history. Dive into natural pools along the stream for relaxation. And finally, stroll through the breathtaking Kepaniwai Park & Heritage Gardens showcasing diverse cultural influences!
Entry fee is $6 per person.

Hike Day
From 13 Crossings to Waihee Ridge Trail, wherever we go, there are some hikes on Maui you won’t want to miss! Push your body to its limit as you hike higher up mountain ridges or deeper into bamboo forests. The elevation won’t be the only reason you’ll lose your breath when you are rewarded with picture-perfect views of green mountains and sparkling water.
Wear proper footwear, bring water, and snacks!
-
Maui Love
Join us for a tour with a purpose! Partnering with local nonprofits, we engage in activities like ecological restoration, beach cleanups, and volunteering at cultural sites. Embrace Hawaiian practice of caring for the land and oceans while learning about their importance.
After volunteering we’ll grab lunch and enjoy some much deserved relaxation by the water.

Enjoy along with friends in our backyard, and even show off your beer pong skills!
