Father’s Day Island-Style: 7 Maui Activities Dads & Kids Will Love

Whether he’s the adventurous type, a lover of local culture, or just wants to chill with the family, we’ve rounded up 7 awesome activities you can book right here online—perfect for celebrating all the amazing dads out there. 💙🌺
Treat Dad to an epic boat ride across the channel to Lanai, where spinner dolphins often leap alongside the boat. This small-group snorkel tour is great for bonding with the whole crew, complete with vibrant reefs, certified guides, and family-friendly fun.
Why it’s great for Father’s Day:
🚤 An exciting ocean adventure for Dad (and the kids)
If Dad’s a fan of cool geology or clear water, Molokini Crater is a must. This sunken volcano offers crystal visibility and protected marine life. Breakfast and lunch included? Even better.
Why it’s great for Father’s Day:
😋 Ocean cruise with breakfast & lunch = Dad-approved
Give Dad the ultimate sky-high adventure with a doors-off helicopter ride above the dramatic sea cliffs of Molokai and lush valleys of West Maui. It’s an adrenaline rush and jaw-dropping photo op all in one.
If Dad’s a thrill-seeker, ziplining is the way to go. Zoom through treetop canopies with the whole family cheering each other on. It’s exhilarating, scenic, and very kid-friendly!
Get Dad soaring with a parasail ride off the coast of Kaanapali! It’s a perfect combo of chill and thrill, offering unforgettable views of Maui’s beaches and the West Maui Mountains.
Honor Dad with an evening of delicious food and cultural celebration. With live music, hula, and fire dancing, a luau is a great way to enjoy delicious dinner together and appreciate Hawaiian hospitality.
Skip the early wake-up call and hop aboard an afternoon snorkel cruise instead. These chill trips are ideal for dads who want to relax, snorkel with some turtles, sip a cold drink, and enjoy time on the ocean.

About
Auntie Snorkel
Auntie Snorkel shop has been serving Maui’s fun seekers since 1985. We're the original South Maui Snorkel Shop. When I bought the shop 10 years ago from Auntie, we decided to keep the name. The name "Auntie" is a term of respect here in Hawaii. I'm living my dream. I get to meet awesome people from all over the world and share with them my love and knowledge of this magical island that I get to call home. We know all the spots. I have lived here since 2001. We're the true definition of a family owned and operated shop. I answer the phones and work the shop along with my family. When you shop with us you're supporting my ohana and for that I thank you!! Why go anywhere else? We're the friendliest, fastest, cheapest and our location is the most epic! Mahalo and Aloha”. ~Mark Noble (Owner & Maui Fun Expert)
