Being in Hawaii is more than just soaking up the sun. If you are in this tropical paradise, especially if you are in Maui, the fun doesn’t stop when the sun sets. So if you want to make the most of your vacation on the island, especially if you are in West Maui, here are six fun evening activities that you might want to try.

Enjoy a Lovely Sunset Cruise

The west side of Maui is the best place to view the sunset. Here, you can enjoy an unobstructed view of the sun as it sets along the horizon. But if you want to make the most of this lovely view, why not upgrade your experience by enjoying some tropical drinks and sumptuous meals with your loved ones on board a sailing catamaran.

Many tour companies on the island offer an amazing cruise experience and depending on your preference and budget, you can either join other groups in sailing during sunset, while enjoying some cocktails or your choice of drinks as live entertainers play some music or perform some dance numbers. And if you rather stick close to your beach home away from home, our Maui beachfront vacation community offers you a private front-row seat to the stunning sunsets that Hawaii is known for!
