How Many Days to Spend on Maui

You’ve only got however many days you’ve got, but if you’re wanting the best overall vacation, I wouldn’t suggest less than one week (probably 6 full days, but you could do a lot in 5 full days too). 

If you’re short on time (doing a quick long weekend getaway from the west coast), you can still have a great trip just as long as your expectations are more about resting and relaxing. And if you’ve got weeks to spend, you’ll find plenty on Maui to keep you busy. 

But in general, if you’re wanting to really get a feel for the island, I'd suggest a full week. If you're wanting to explore the island fully AND still have a lot of time for the beach/relaxing, add even more days.

I also don’t recommend splitting up a one week vacation between two different islands. Just stick to one and really experience it.
