Maui is the second largest island in Hawaii and is dubbed “The Valley Isle”. Its beaches remain its top attractions. Visitors can opt to head to a different beach - including Kapalua, Wailea, and Ka‘anapali - for practically every day of their stay on the isle. Water sports such as snorkeling and diving are popular activities on the island thanks to the nearby coral reefs. Some of the most popular snorkeling and diving areas are Marine Life Conservation District in Honolua Bay and Molokini, in the southern part of Maui. You can also visit Haleakala National Park, where you can find Makahika and Waimoku Waterfalls. Of course, there are child-friendly attractions in the area as well. Stay in one of the best resorts with water slide in Maui, Hawaii, for family-friendly fun on the island.
We handpicked these listings carefully, considering (wherever possible) recent guest reviews, location, accommodation type, prices, availability of dates, decor, and access to in-house or nearby water slides. The image galleries get refreshed with the latest updates regularly. They were last updated on August 20, 2024.
