COORDINATOR: CRYSTAL MCCAULEY

Sun, saltwater, whale watching, spa days, black sand beaches, and unforgettable memories. This is Hawaii the Her Wilderness way. Escape the middle of winter and join us in Maui for an incredible week of adventure, wellness, relaxation, and connection alongside a small group of adventurous women. This trip was designed to showcase some of the very best experiences Hawaii has to offer while still leaving plenty of time to slow down, soak it all in, and truly enjoy island life.

Throughout the week, we'll call beautiful West Maui home as we explore lush rainforests, volcanic coastlines, crystal clear waters, charming beach towns, and some of the most breathtaking scenery in the world. Whether you're traveling solo, celebrating a milestone, checking Hawaii off your bucket list, or simply craving a warm-weather escape, this trip offers the perfect balance of adventure and relaxation.

One day you'll be driving the legendary Road to Hana, stopping at waterfalls, tropical fruit stands, and Maui's famous black sand beach. The next you'll be snorkeling the crystal-clear waters of Molokini Crater, searching for colorful marine life and soaking up the Hawaiian sunshine.

As the week unfolds, we'll immerse ourselves in Hawaiian culture with a traditional luau, experience the breathtaking beauty of Haleakalā National Park, indulge in an optional luxury hydrotherapy spa experience overlooking the Pacific Ocean, and celebrate our final evening together aboard a sunset whale watching catamaran during peak humpback whale season. Of course, no Her Wilderness trip would be complete without plenty of downtime built into the itinerary. Throughout the week you'll have opportunities to enjoy beach walks, ocean sunsets, local coffee shops, shopping, snorkeling, pool time, and simply enjoying paradise at your own pace.
