If you are heading to Maui, there's certainly nothing wrong with spending your days lazing away at the beach. However, if you would like to enjoy something a bit more extreme, the following activities might be perfect for you.

For ocean lovers, it can be fun to really get beneath the surface and take a look at the world under the sea. There are several companies that offer submarine tours where you head down and watch as fish, turtles and other sea life go about their daily adventures. Natural reefs often are part of the scenery as well as interesting artificial reefs, perhaps the wreck of ancient sea vessel or a World War II-era airplane. Of course, you also could consider a snorkeling adventure or a scuba diving trek.

Helicopter tours are a popular option, as well, and you get to enjoy a bird's eye view of the island and see areas that would be difficult to reach by driving or hiking. You could also consider paragliding just off the shore, and this can be done at several local beaches. Zipline treks are yet another sky high adventure to think about, and you will zip through the rainforests while learning about native plants and animals.

If you plan on taking the trip to Hana, this is a fantastic all-day adventure. One stop along the way that you should consider is a visit to the Ka'eleku Caverns. It takes about an hour or so to go on a tour of the caverns, which are quite unique. Then you can head back on the Hana Highway for some more windy roads, single-lane bridges and breathtaking ocean views.

Of course, everyone loves to spend some time at the beach, but if you crave a bit more adventuring than splashing around at the shore, you might want to think about taking surfing lessons. While Maui has some good waves, this island is better suited to windsurfing than traditional surfing so that might be a great option to consider.

One of the biggest adventures in life is getting married, and a Maui destination wedding is always a great idea. Contact the team at Love Maui Weddings and take a look at some of their Maui wedding packages.
