What are Carolyn Scott's top recommended activities for a budget-friendly solo trip to Maui?

Hi, I’m Carolyn Scott-Hamilton from The Healthy Voyager. I love Maui for solo travel, and it can absolutely be done on a budget if you choose activities wisely.

From my Maui solo-trip tips, I’d focus on:

1. Snorkeling Molokini Crater (look for small, early-morning boats for better prices)
2. Driving or touring the Road to Hana
3. Visiting Waiʻanapanapa Black Sand Beach
4. Camping instead of pricey hotels
5. Exploring Lahaina town
6. Surf lessons at Olowalu Beach
7. Experiencing a luau or free cultural events
8. Stargazing at Haleakalā
9. Eating at local spots, food trucks, and markets rather than resorts

Do you already know which part of the island you’ll be staying on?
