My wife and I were married in Maui and honeymooned there afterwards. We were in the north end of Kihei and rented a room in a condo right on the beach fairly inexpensively. It was fantastic as due to the time difference I woke up early every morning while my wife still slept and went for long runs or walks on the beach. There was a farmers market literally right across the street from us and every day we popped over there for a few minutes and bought freshly picked bananas, mangos, papaya, pineapple, and so on to enjoy during the day. The beach we were married on was about 15-20 minutes south of there in Wailaia and we also spent some time up north browsing around in Lahaina and in Kanapoli, which got my wife's shopping bug satisfied. There are surfing beaches around the island but we had enough fun pounding our heads into the sand with some cheap boogie boards we bought and could use on the waves right in front of our condo. Also, the Kihei canoe club would take guests out on the outrigger canoes and they were right next to our condo. I went out there the morning before we left and it was a blast. The rowing is a lot harder to get the timing on than I thought and we were rowing right up next to sea turtles and so on, which was an absolute blast. Would definitely like to see more of the islands but I'd be tempted to spend more time in Maui since we didn't get as much time to ourselves due to wedding preparations. Lots to do on that island including surfing, snorkeling, biking, sightseeing, and so on. There is a big volcano there that you can drive to the top (or shuttle up and bike down) of but it isn't active.
