Vacationing in Maui is the trip of a lifetime, so you do not want to come to the island unprepared. While Maui has plenty of stores to purchase whatever you may have forgotten at home, every moment of your vacation is precious, so the less time shopping for forgotten items, the better. To help ensure you maximize your vacation time, Parrish Maui has compiled a packing list for you to reference.
Comfortable & Practical Clothing
Maui features pleasant temperatures year-round; even in the winter, high temperatures are still in the 80s. With that in mind, no matter when you visit, be sure to pack light, comfortable clothing. Shirts, t-shirts, shorts, skirts, dresses, pants, and of course, swimming suits are essentials. Maui can be quite sunny, so we recommend adding sunglasses and a hat to your packing list. On the flip side, quick bouts of rain are also common, so a light rain jacket or parka can help keep you dry as the weather passes.
Shoes can be a challenging item to pack because they can take up a lot of space. However, some sort of sandal is vital for the beach and something comfortable to walk in. If you are going to be hiking, a pair of hiking shoes could be beneficial as well.
Hawaii-Approved Sunscreen
Sunscreen is a must for any Maui packing list, but the sunscreen you have at home might not make the cut. Hawaii is the first state to ban sunscreen containing chemicals that harm coral. If you have sunscreen that includes oxybenzone or octinoxate, leave it at home. Instead, opt for a reef-safe sunscreen. Hawaii.com’s article on sunscreen provides a list of reef-safe sunscreens.
Maui Essentials
Do not be caught without Maui essentials! You will want a backpack, beach bag, or some other sort of bag for when you are out exploring everything the island has to offer. A water bottle will help ensure you stay hydrated while adventuring. Plus, you need something to take pictures to document your travels in this majestic place. If you plan on snorkeling or diving, an underwater camera will allow you to capture the beautiful aquatic life you will encounter.
