Entertaining Guests At Your Maui Destination Wedding

By Ella Hemmings


A Maui destination wedding is an exciting event for both you and your guests. However, because your guests are traveling far for this ceremony, they probably will be staying in Maui for several days or even a week. It's important that the bridal couple offer their guests some helpful tips about local excursions and activities, so that they can truly make the most out of their time on the island.

To make their stay a bit easier, purchase a beach bag for each guest or couple and fill it with helpful items such as a detailed itinerary with information about the ceremony and reception as well as any other planned events and excursions. Let them know when free time is available, and give them some suggestions for how to spend their leisure time. Also include some helpful amenities such as sunscreen, some snacks, bottled water and maybe a voucher for a local bar or restaurant. Information about where to find a drug store, clothing store and grocery store also can be very helpful, as well as shuttle and taxi information.

Many people flock to tropical islands to enjoy their leisure time on the beach, and Maui offers some of the best beaches in the world. Your guests probably want to spend at least some of their time enjoying the ocean, so be sure to provide a list of beach options. You don't have to include every Maui beach, simply select three or four you think might appeal to your guests. Spending time on the beach is especially easy if you book your reservations at a hotel or resort that has its own beach and swimming pools. Sometimes, group rates are available to help everyone save some money.

For a great, all-day adventure, consider having your guest take a guided tour to the village of Hana. This popular excursion entails driving down a windy road through a tropical rainforest and traversing hair-pin curves and more than 50 one-lane bridges. It also provides some of the world's best views and you can walk to waterfalls, swim on perfect beaches or just enjoy the view. You can drive yourself, but for a wedding party, consider a bus tour, which also will include food and there are no cafes, groceries or other food or beverage services along the way.

You might not have enough time for all-day trek to Hana, but there are many other ideas to think about. For instance a sunset cocktail cruise or a whale-watching trip is a great way to spend a few hours, and this would be an excellent activity for your whole wedding party. Horseback riding, ATV tours, kayaking trips and parasailing are just a sample of other items guests might enjoy.
