4 THINGS YOU’LL LOVE TO DO ON MAUI IN OCTOBER 

HIKING 

One of the best things to do on Maui in October is to go for a scenic hike! Our lovely Hawaiian island has plenty of beautiful hiking spots, and if you consider yourself a nature lover or hiker, then you don’t want to miss Maui’s trails. Here are some of our favorites to add to your bucket list:

VISIT THE KULA COUNTRY FARMS PUMPKIN PATCH 

One of the greatest things to do during a fall getaway is to check out a pumpkin patch! After all, just because it’s sunny and beachy doesn’t mean you have to compromise on your favorite seasonal traditions. Head over to Kula Country Farms and pick a pumpkin to bring back to your condo! Not only will it be a fun activity to enjoy with your loved ones, but it will also allow you to see gorgeous views of the Maui countryside. The pumpkin patch starts on October 1 and is open from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.  

HAWAII FOOD & WINE FESTIVAL 

Another fun fall event to enjoy during your stay on Maui in October is the Hawaii Food & Wine Festival! It usually occurs in the middle of the month and is one of the premier culinary events on the island. There, you can taste delicious local food and pair it with succulent wine! It’s a great activity for people traveling with friends! 

GO ON A SCENIC ROAD TRIP 

Finally, a fabulous thing to do during the fall is to go on a scenic road trip! Maui is known for its extravagant beauty, and what better way to experience it than from the comfort of your car? Hop in and out of your vehicle as you drive by stunning beaches, waterfalls, and even mountains! We recommend you follow the Road to Hana, as it is one of the most popular drives in the world! Remember to bring your phone chargers and to fill your itinerary before leaving your condo – there’s not much cell phone service along the way!
