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:

• Snorkeling Molokini Crater (look for small, early-morning boats for better prices)
• Driving or touring the Road to Hana
• Visiting Waiʻanapanapa Black Sand Beach
• Camping instead of pricey hotels
• Exploring Lahaina town
• Surf lessons at Olowalu Beach
• Experiencing a luau or free cultural events
• Stargazing at Haleakalā
• 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?
