Keeping guests happy and entertained at a typical wedding usually only requires planning a great reception and perhaps a rehearsal dinner the night before. When you opt for a wedding in a destination such as Maui, while you usually have fewer guests, they typically stay for several days. So it's wise to provide some information about local excursions and activities that your guests might enjoy.
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.
Obviously many people would enjoy simply lounging on the seashore, but there are some logistics in regards to even this simple activity. For instance, too which beach should guests go? Maui has a many excellent beaches, but for someone unfamiliar to the area, it is helpful to provide your guests with a few examples and provide information about how to get there. Of course, if you will all be staying a resort, the resort probably includes swimming pools, beach access, towels and beach chairs.
If your guests have an entire day free, consider booking a tour that takes them along the Road to Hana. While this 68-mile stretch of road can take an entire day to traverse, it's a wildly popular excursion and a great way to spend a day in Maui. The journey is almost entirely within a tropical rainforest and provides opportunities to hike to waterfalls, walk through jungles and enjoy some of the most beautiful coastline on earth. While you can rent a car and do the drive yourself, taking a tour bus frees you up to simply enjoy the scenery. Most tour companies provide food, which is important because food is only available at the beginning and the end of the journey.
Perhaps a full-day excursion is not something your guests care to do or you have even more leisure time to fill. Other fun options include whale watching trips, which are quite popular given that Maui provides some of the best opportunities in the world to see humpback whales. There are also kayaking tours, snorkeling tours, sunset cocktail cruises, parasailing and your guest could even consider taking a surfing lesson.
